Tommysdad,

I also find this pretty fishy, and would stay away from it, but they do seem to have issued US patents on aspects of their technology. Try a search with "Averback" the last name of the CEO. You'll get a few hits; one that appears relevant is:

patents.ibm.com

A summary follows (maybe DMS became Nymox?):

5567720 : Pharmaceutically active agents that impede amyloid formation
in vivo

INVENTORS: Averback; Paul, Montreal, Canada
ASSIGNEES: DMS Pharmaceutical Inc., Quebec, Canada
ISSUED: Oct.ÿ22,ÿ1996

ABSTRACT:ÿÿ Dense microspheres can be extracted and purified to substantial homogeneity from mammalian brain
tissue, and used in the screening of therapies for potential effectiveness in impeding the formation of amyloid fibrils
associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cerebral amyloidosis. Compounds that, at in-tissue
concentrations of 10-5 M or less, inhibit amyloid formation in a test animal injected intracerebrally with dense
microspheres are particularly useful in inhibiting treating cerebral amyloidosis.
