Sept. 2024: A limited quantity of HF2E and HB5 is now available for purchase. The quantity supplied will be approximately double that supplied during the trials; remember that only a very thin layer is applied and the bottle should last for ages. The prices are £24 for the herbal preparation HF2E and £30 for the super-complex non-herbal one. Prices are inclusive. Please email contact@target.org.uk in the first instance.

A (very) small number found that the HF series didn't work so HB5 is an alternative in this case. Otherwise HF2E and HB5 seem to be similarly effective. Payment is made by bank transfer, email for details.

Sale of these preparations is permitted according to the Human Medicines Regulations Act 2012, Regulation 3(9) which states:

The condition [for exemption from formal registration] is that the medicinal product is not manufactured or, as the case may be, assembled –

  • (a) on a large scale, or
  • (b) by an industrial process.


A paper describing the trials and some of the results is published as a preprint. The below paper with its important, though preliminary, findings can be distributed. Due to the trials not having a bureaucratic stamp of approval, formal publication is still pending.
