Obviously the company is paying Holford to advertise this device,they couldn’t get anyone to buy it, so why not use Holford as a marketing tool? After all, some people really think that what he is saying is true. His job is to advertise products and convince people to buy vitamins and many of his “incredible” insights into good health books.

Depends what you mean by ‘work’, I guess. Placebos can have interesting effects.

interesting article… i think that all those pendants, jewelry or any other mystical that claim to have any mystical powers… works on who that believe in them.

thanks coracle - that's a key part of my article on folic acid. Conventional medicine sells folic acid in mcg; however, at Holford Watch I'm pleased to be able to offer a special 100mbg dose of *quantum* folic acid, which works just like folic acid supplements, so long as you wear it close to your heart. Yours for only 50 times the price of conventional folic acid supplements.

OK. Tempting as it is to go for the big money, actually I must admit that there was a typo in the piece on folic acid. I've corrected that - and enabled comments now. Sorry about comments being turned off on my last post - not deliberate, but the blogger software's been playing up on me all day :(

Hi Jon, couldn't see where to comment on the Guardian letter article so thought I'd put this here.

Is there a typo in paragraph 8? mbg are used as a unit. Or did I misunderstand something?

Good stuff anyway.
