EXPOSED: Websites claiming to sell the new weight-loss wonder jab that’s ‘better’ than Mounjaro - before it’s even been launched or passed as safe. Our reporter @Hagan28Pat was able to easily buy five batches of 'retatrutide' - no health checks required

Mirror therapy is used to treat phantom limb pain - where 'hiding' the affected limb tricks the brain into thinking the limb is intact, ‘rewiring’ it and reducing symptoms Now this principle is being cleverly applied to treat tinnitus, reports @Hagan28Pat
