The sorts of people that do this kind of thing are invariably looking for answers or reassurance anyway. GRRRR!!!

I didn't mean to imply that you did! After I read a few pages of the Colorgenics site a red mist descended and didn't go away again until I had finished writing this post, so it's a bit of a flat-out spiel. Oops, yes, sorry.

Can I just add a disclaimer and say that I do not actually believe in this Colorgenics stuff, in much the same way that I don't believe in horoscopes, crystals or reading tiny owl intestines (despite the fact that I live in Brighton, pretty much the centre of the hippy universe). It was just a bit of silly Thursday morning fluff. Yours in sciencey science, J. Thanks for this, it’s fascinating stuff, and I’m going to check out Derren Brown’s book.
