But I suppose we havn't discovered that.You're correct -- I think with due respect you may have missed the issue or I may have not described the above sentence in the right language -- it is for some people. Not everyone.
Opiates for scurvey? I dont know whether to laugh or stare at the ceiling.
There seems to be a spectrum of arguments about opiates -- one also has to remember for a section of the population, opiates, or certain forms of morphine related drugs, do not work at all. Genetically. In fact, they may make an individual sick. So again, there's no one step tailored drug. And I think most people would or should recognize that on here, with this lively debate.
