Time for some BIEL Classics, since there is no new news
Those who are recent arrivals to BIEL may have missed this story.
I have communicated with Mr. Patel and he is a very nice gentleman who has helped those in the UK maintain access to ActiPatch when the Local NHS groups would not allow their doctors to prescribe it.
'I've cured my chronic back pain with £19 patch - but NHS won't prescribe it'

Gary Meek, 62, from Harlow, Essex, suffers from degenerative disc disorder – a debilitating condition which causes chronic lower back pain.
He says the ActiPatch has saved the NHS £8,000 a year and is calling for it to be available to other sufferers.
Gary's agonising back pain forced him into early retirement at just 55 from his work as Senior Lecturer in Post Graduate Certificate of Education training IT Teachers at Middlesex University.
And years of coping through intense NHS-prescribed opioids and painkillers like duloxetine and fentanyl left the father-of-two wondering whether the pain or the side effects of medication were worse.
But that all changed when a fellow patient introduced him to a device that uses electromagnetic pulses to treat pain while on a pain management programme at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London.
