Vitamins n Virus's

Some news on the BBC about vitamins, and virus's of the noon-Human kind:

I remember reading about the vitamin control thing a few years ago. In particular when we were looking at the Vitamin "B-17", as it was thought that it would mean they couldn't call it a vitamin (Well, it isn't, is it). As I mentioned last year, the thing didn't work one jot for Jules, the only noticable effect being an increase in her energy and awareness, which I'd put down to the concoction of herbs and fruit juice that the Vitamin B17 had to be delivered in. Of course, without the pushers of Vitamin B-17 willing to submit to serious clinical trials, it'll never be proved whether it works or not. And, of course, participants of these trials have a tendancy of dying before they're completed, cancer being such a nasty illness.

The other story, about the bombings, I think is sickening. Taking advantage of a situation, I know, is who these things work. But you must draw the line somewhere, surely?
