According to the schedules, Mike has the suspension pillows with Alex this evening.

Nice to see Alex back on screens. Assuming GX, which isn't a huge surprise since TJC had them after IW2 shut, and they've been on Shop on TV and QVC regularly enough (and Shop Extra, Seen on TV) - they certainly get about.

she is one of worst ones and extremely false, although then you get the absolute bs queen jacks talking shyte on these collagen tablets and as though she has influenced her surgeon to prescribe them and they have super healing properties cos her mates joints were fixed after taking them on her advice ;) :poop:Price looks very dear too when you compare to sites like simply supplements.

If it healed or helped joints — and given the ageing population in this country, that'd be a big help — the NHS would all over collagen supplement studies and looking to prescribe them, or at the least 'advise' taking them.

But they don't.

On joints, the evidence is described as "painfully weak", and most collagen supplement companies either fund their own non-peer-reviewed studies which, amazingly, find results they want 🤪, or they selectively pick stats from generic studies, losing the context of who it helped, how, what dosage, under what conditions, etc.

When it comes to collagen supplements for beauty? Well that's worse. "No human studies have clearly proven that collagen you take orally will end up in your skin, hair, or nails". Perception studies differ but a) they're subjective and b) not controlled studies, so while it may be that '68% of people felt their skin looked plumper' that could be a variable, e.g., hydration: you're told to drink a full glass of water with each pill, the skin thrives on moisture; etc.

Sorry, bit of a long one - basically: magic cure-alls aren't found on selly telly, and when they do exist, they're not sold at clearance/giveaway/unbelievable prices by the likes of Sally Jacks.

Whenever I see that sh…I always picture one of those Wild West medicine wagons, filled to the brim with magical bottles of potions. None of which work. I have a large collection of Picture Posts from the 1930s to the 1950s and those were the days when you could publish ads about the health giving properties of cigarettes - yes, cigarettes. Elements of shopping television sales presentations follow a similar brief…This WILL help…This MAY help…This WON’T help, you schmucks….

The NHS are really cautious on the recommending bit. Unless it is totally proven to work they won't recommend it. I have rheumatoid arthritis and when diagnosed I asked about cod liver oil. Consultant said he couldn't recommend it but said it won't do you any harm if you wish to take them.

The only vitamin I was encouraged to take was Vitamin D. I saw a locum GP and he was pretty serious about its benefits. Said it was good for joints and for me to take it all year round.

Just a quick look at this and one of the problems with this particular miracle cure seems to be, as you say, there isn't enough studies /evidence to show that it's the collagen that is really the magic ingredient, most of the studies are on products which contain collagen plus a whole variety of other ingredients, like the one that's featured on IW recently, Dr Formulas collagen booster drink, which not only contains collagen but also Hyaluronic acid and a load of other igredients, so were the improvements down to the collagen or the other ingredients, would the improvements have happened if there was no collagen in the drink?
 
Are these the only pillows we're supposed to buy? The best of the best? All other pillows rubbish?

Why then were they flogging good old standard Silent Night pillows the other day?

Me confused?

You've got to remember the IW cult can't remember what they had for breakfast let alone that Peter was selling pillows last night. ;)
 
Don’t worry the gullible and housebound are taken in by these shysters!
Although nobody knows the current total each week of sales,obviously it’s profitable unless tjc are taking a hit.
As for the people in the gallery shame on you for producing this garbage 🗑️ 💩😤

I don't think they will be looking at it, as in TJC channel made this profit and IW made this profit, I think they will be looking at have both channels increased the sales over the old TJC and TJC beauty pairing. Yeah they could see the sales figures for each channel, bu not sure they can really split who made which profit as they will be sharing a load of staff, products and overheads. Obviously sales should be up on the TJC/TJC beauty pairing, but how it will effect the profits won't be known to us until december when their accounts are released, that will have approx the first 6 months of the IW channel's effect included.
 
It’s like selling a car with no electric windows, no windscreen wipers and no wing mirrors as a more desirable option because the windows don’t break down, the windscreen never gets scratched and there is less to be hit in an accident. The vacuum is much better than more expensive ones because there are less features on it to trouble you, and it sucks up less dirt to keep the inside cleaner.
and it's a nice little earner for them as Arfur would say

In the early 1960’s my auntie was prescribed amphetamines and told to start smoking for weight loss by her GP 😳🤣
