It's so true.

I've been amazed in life discovering how often people lie.

This is especially true for doctors for whom I could make a list of times they told people that this or that herb would do nothing to help a particular condition, when in truth, they didn't know. They simply don't like to admit that they don't know something about something (pride).

Amazing.

Here's an idea...

To get results and make the people at companies accountable (at least in their mind), I will tell them something like this:

"I'm a member of a/an (online) group that shares information and research about mercury toxicity. We are interested in information about your mercury-free monitors."

This works. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
