I have already responded, with this; perhaps other's might like to respond.
In like manner, should conventional drugs have a label that says something like this.
"This drug has been tested by drug company scientists, and appears at this stage to be effective and safe. However, going by the evidence of previously tested drugs, this might not prove to be the case. It might be that not all the evidence has been released by the drug companies. It might be that the test evidence might have been misrepresented. And given the experience with most other conventional drugs it is likely that they will turn out to be ineffective, and unsafe over a period of time, leading eventually to either their withdrawal by the drug company, or a ban imposed on the drug by drug regulators.
