What's the vehicle anyhow?, page-32

I think we're in furious agreement - if the 'vehicle' is a key part of the potion's efficacy (ie: contains antibacterial alcohol), then it's setting yourself up for problems to try to prove the efficacy of CBD without it. Which is (I think) what happened in the P2. Which is (I think) why this is looking more and more like a dud.
In your post you say " because Permetrex+CBD is the product " - if that's the case, then would wouldn't they test "the product" (BOTH components) against some benign gel. Insetad, they're testing CBD + Permetrex against Permetrex (the vehicle alone), even though it's likely that Permetrex is active against bacteria and NOT benign.
Go back over (almost) all of our (BOT's) studies and there's very little (maybe nothing?) that shows the efficacy of CBD ABSENT THE PRESENCE OF PERMETREX. Yes, I know that it's been shown to achieve greater penetration of CBD, but it also now looks as though it's having an effect itself...
How could we have missed this?!?!?
