That

kinda makes sense, and it fits in with what we \"know\" aswell.

So

Winnifred will reveal her formula once her 10 ear pending patent is granted. I wonder what\'s holding it up?

\"Now,

researchers from Duke University, North Carolina, have found that pheromones can also activate the main olfactory

system in mice. This suggests humans could respond to pheromones through the regular system they use to

smell.\"

This is new news only for mice, pheromones have already been
shown to activate the main olfactory

system in boars. It is the luteinizing hormone (LH) response to pheromones that shows they are active in other

mammals and in humans regardless of whether the species has a vomeronasal organ (VNO). Note the article calls the

VNO the VMO, which makes me wonder what else the article\'s author doesn\'t know about the topic. Actually, this

whole VNO business comes from David Berliner\'s group, since they promote vomeropherins that act on the human

VNO--despite no connection being shown between a human VNO and the hypothalamus. Business is business and sometimes

business folk are prone to misleading statements if the statements support their proprietary products.
