"I think it is all open to question now. The AJIC decision, the Dr. Hurt choice, the study itself. These guys want to move those little boxes, and for that they need just a hint of "maybe this works" along with some advertising. To hell with proving anything. But to me...they blew it. They coulda been real contenders..." They coulda been real contenders IF they really have something to prove. My question is, do they really believe that or are they only looking to make as much money as fast as possible because they know the opportunity won't last very long? If it's the later, then the AJIC "screw up" makes perfect sense and was the only thing they could do. Maybe had the AJIC article been published and IF the results were viewed as valid, the stock would now be at $50. However, the hype and media attention surrounding the article DID help the stock more than double and that's not bad either. They claim the Hurt study will definitely be published. I agree that even if it is, it will be either completely ignored by the scientific community or severely criticized. However, don't hold your breath waiting to read the article until it's actually in print.

StockMiser, I'm out of town today on a business trip and don't have much time to respond. I did want to make some quick comments about Dr. Hirt and clinical studies. First, Dr. Hirt is not a homeopathic doctor. He is Board specialized in Internal medicine and Nutrition. Second, several other clinical studies are in work and may be released at any time. It is my belief that the doctor who is conducting one or more of these other studies has a very good reputation in the medical community. While I don't share the same negative opinion of Dr. Hirt that some people have, I don't think that anyone will be able to levy the same criticism at the doctor/researcher that is conducting one or more of the other studies. Regards, Dan

StockMiser, you keep reversing the percentage. The study showed a 78% reduction, not 87% as you have said more than once. As far as your complaints go: 1. The product works for the overwhelming majority who use it. 2. It makes me sneeze about half the time. So what? It doesn't hurt any. I sneeze once or twice after the application. I am supposed to be so bothered by that I won't use the product? LOL. 3. I see no long term ramifications over the AJIC issue. Nobody really cares as long as it works.
