To all (3 of you),
I do have some reservation as to how the press releases were worded. In a second press release, they are even less clear that the 8-10 days refers to the placebo group...

LIDAK said it submitted its application to the Food and Drug Administration four months after Phase III clinical trials showed the drug reduced healing time and symptoms in treated patients.

<<<<It said patients treated with Lidakol were healed in an average of 4.1 days, compared with eight to 10 days in most untreated cases.>>>>>

Notice that they say "compare with eight to 10 days in MOST untreated cases"...... In the other press release, they don't specifically say placebo, but say NORMAL duration. I'm sorry, but at this time I feel they continue to be vague. As scientists, they know the correct buzzwords to specify what they mean.

They must compare Lidakol treated versus the placebo control group (not the normal duration). Lidak continues to be evasive,
