Last Thursday we were presented with the opportunity ( ?) to test Dylan like a lab rat. Yes, they're selling it as if we've won the lottery and are extremely lucky to be chosen to further medical progress. It's a drug trial I'm forbidden to talk about in specifics but the gist is that it's untested in her category and we could break some ground - medically speaking. They emphasized how long this research study is taking due to the lack of qualifying subjects, as if this should sway my decision on its own. We're not guaranteed results, and if the results are positive we would not benefit by continuing the treatment past the six week trial (it's not a marketed product able to be prescribed). There are no "anticipated" side effects but there is a disclaimer in fine print which states that the animals tested did grow polyps and tumours. Hmmm ok. Possible short-term benefit, possible long-term side effect. I think you can see where my scale is tipping. Those of you who know me can guess what I did; I asked for a copy of every trial they had completed on said drug -adults and animals alike. She brought me an inch thick file the next day which basically said I would be killed if anyone read the contents other than myself. Then, she came by the next day to see if I had any questions, all the while assuring me there was nothing to read that she hadn't disclosed. Ummm no thanks, I'll read the studies. She said she'd return the following day for my answer...
