The "groupthink" village (actually just a few "gatekeepers" with closed minds) demanded that anyone who challenged their opinions of Pennsaid and WF10 commercial success were fools, fudsters, charlatans etc., etc. Those boasts were sprouted at prices of $6.00 and above (current price around $2.00), about where my freebies were initially acquired almost 3 years ago. If you examine the record, you will see I believed Pennsaid would be approved (I like it for short term relief of pain for injury of soft tissue, cartilage, and bone near skin surface). My criticisms were directed at long term use, particularly on the elderly (whose skin structure and functioning faintly resembles that of the young) for chronic conditions, the incredible projections of revenue and profits put forth by certain posters, shelf life (light and heat problems), ease of use versus the competition, marketing projections, security and longevity of patent,....particularly security of patent, and mechanism of action of DMSO, particularly with concerns to possible side effects on chronic use. Anyone following this thread knows I have made my own blend of DMSO and pain relievers with good pain relief success with ingredients found at drug stores and/or biology labs. Mixing up a potent DMSO pain relief potion is just as easy as mixing up as a batch of cookies or a cake,...but of course few people have the knowledge to mix up such simple items anymore,...pre-made and pre-packaged rules. DMX will no doubt soon franchise the Pennsaid formula for quick use at the local Tim Hortons/Wendy's,....coffee, donut, burger (and will that be ketchup on your fries) and OA relief through drive thru 4 times daily,...a few drops and a wipe gives quick 6+ hour relief,......I'm applying for the master franchise for Ontario tomorrow (gggggggggggg) We have been waiting for approval since Mark was 42 (that was 6 years ago apparently),...we now await commercial and stock price success (hopefully in great excess of the double digits some shareholders bought at),...good luck to us all,...and the DMX pumper boiler room too (gggggggg)!!
