Your posts are insanely long & completely without value. Unlike the insult you just posted here? I thought I had valid points, and was trying to be helpful. If I offended anyone, even someone like yourself who purposefully does to to others, that was not my intent, Franz. For the length, youve made the same complaint before and could simply skip my posts if they are too long for your preference. Nobody would even reply to the original poster after he asked numerous times until I did, so maybe you can cut me a little slack? PeeGritty, friend, thanks for finding the humor in my post, I wish Franz would. If it is true they are doing hair follicle tests there(certainly possible!), I wonder what the reasoning behind it would be? If it turns out to be true, I guess we will all have learned soing. |

I think the reasoning behind doing hair follicle testing is quite clear. It goes back about 90 days instead of approx. 72 hrs for urine. I would understand them wanting to make sure you haven't used any recreational drugs for a longer duration. A lot of people have shaved heads so they would have to have a sample taken from the body. That hair grows slower and testing would show drug usage for up to a year. That would definitely be bad for a lot of labrats, good for the clean ones. |

Screened recently, no hair test, probably never will be BUT they have changed SOME things. First off they don't really show you the consent til later in screening and it's a brief look over at best. This really bugs me since every other place they give you at least some detail over the phone on the study and then when you arrive to screen first thing they do is let you read the consent before screening. This helps us volunteers know what we are getting into before we waste our time (and theirs) by going through procedures.
The screeners should have more knowledge of the study (most don't) and shouldn't rush over the consent. Side effects, procedures, bloodraw amounts etc etc should be stressed...not glossed over. I don't need to recite paragraphs or get quizzed (like some places) but at least take some time to explain the study a bit. It feels unpersonal, unprofessional and like they are hiding soing if they don't.
They now ask if you participated in any studies in the last 2 years outside of . I don't know if that causes problems (it really shouldn't if its outs side of the washout) Still no VCT so i don't know what asking is going to accomplish given most of their subjects are doing studies outside of .
Also they are going to a loaded debit card system ( really prefer direct deposit since there is not messing around with banks) on a specific bank so that may make things a bit tricky.

Did they mention anything about having to eat all the food when you screened?
And what if you say yes to that question about doing studies at other places within 2 years? Do they then want to know where, and what the drug was and how long ago, etc.?

again i don't know what the consequences of mentioning you did studies elsewhere withing 2 years...they document it at least. As always they ask if you can complete a whole meal but as far as i know like most studies there bio day is important to eat everything and after that not really mandatory but they kind of look down upon it and they have to report that you didn't finish everything.
As far as my 2 cents on the hair follicle testing, and i'm no expert...is anyone here... i wouldn't think clinics would have much of a interest in it since even though it can detect drugs a few months back at that point it is barely measurable on the body and thus have no effect on a subjects response to a new compound/test drug. So why would clinics want to "thin the heard" that much and pay more for a testing od that is too effective for their needs?

So why would clinics want to "thin the heard" that much and pay more for a testing od that is too effective for their needs? I've read much of this board, maybe all. In the past, and again recently, it seemed like there were some members trying to "thin the herd"(and herd is such an appropriate word for the way the typical Western-cultured mind operates, no exaggeration) with various fear-mongering tactics. To this OP's credit, he actually apologized for the fighting it caused(which really was only Franz going off the rails again lol). I'd almost give OP benefit of the doubt, but a brand new poster showed up, and actually confirmed the OP's question. No, nothing suspicious there... even though I was harshly scolded for taking the time to point it out to all the lurkers who read this. Speaking of that, if you go to those sites that determine the value of a website, some of them show the amount of daily visitors....another thing I was harshly scolded for making an observation about. Again, I was confirmed correct by an outside source. I'm not trying to brag, I am just defending myself from unwarranted harassment and abuse. I've also confirmed some things were correct, that I originally had been suspicious about. The need for a Cali ID for the clinics there, for example. That sucks, and I'd like to get one if anyone has any advice. |

To my attackers, my batting average has been pretty high, and Ive worked to help people with the truth. What do you clowns(there are only a couple) add of worth with your belittlment? Where is that !(*^#(%^# Franz now?!? Today you've shared insane conspiracy theories about taxes & said that every clinic in California requires a California ID (false). The verbal diarrhea you spew here is absolutely of negative value. |

Where is that !(*^#(%^# Franz now?!? Today you've shared insane conspiracy theories about taxes & said that every clinic in California requires a California ID (false). The verbal diarrhea you spew here is absolutely of negative value. There is nothing insane, or untrue. No conspiracy theory. What exactly was untrue? The 2 clinics listed on here do require residency/ID. Maybe some others don't. Which ones? The only diarrhea appears to be in your brain. I did not say "every" clinic anywhere. Apparently you should work on your reading skills before coming at me. Some person who kept going on about how terrible Parexel was, said that they required residency. I confirmed that to be true. WCCT also does. That concludes the clinics listed on here. Feel free to share about your experiences elsewhere in Cali, and to actually add soing to the board for a change, instead of being such a detriment by picking fights with myself, FloridaGirl, and whomever else. Were you not beaten enough as a child or soing? Or maybe too much, so you ue the cycle of bullying? |

So , I just screened at and I asked the nurse about the hair follicles thing and she told me that they changed their mind on the idea so I wasn't wrong. Turns out they just didn't want to " diminish their participant data base". Also from my understanding the Baltimore perexall does not require you to live there bit cali does .
