RE:     Grow Young and Rich! - unsolicited email


Following Trish Greenhalgh's "Serenity", this was waiting in my
mailbox this morning.  I have yet to receive an ad for HGH potentiated
Viagra but it can only be a matter of time.  This kind of pyramid
selling of potent agents like HGH is worrying.

Best regards,

Richard

[The WHO Assembly adopted a resolution last year expressing its
worries about the uncontrolled growth of Internet promotion and sales
of drugs with dubious efficiacy and safety. However, the promotion
of powerful drugs like Human Growth Hormone is even more worrying.
Has any country been able to control the promotion or sale of these
prescription only medicines? WB]
