...findings of the Mayo study conflict with the conclusions of previous research at the Vale of Leven Hospital in Loch Lomondside, Scotland. That study showed that the vitamin helped in at least ten percent of the patients studied, as well as undefined "subjective benefit" in most patients...
Western Australia's Nullarbor (meaning no trees) Plain is an arid, limestone plateau that lies east of the old gold-rush towns of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie, southeast of Comet Vale and northeast of Grass Patch. It is a barren, almost unpopulated land of sand and saltbush.

Then they chemically inserted the genes into the DNA of E. coli bacteria, which multiplied and began manufacturing somatostatin...
