>>In post #715 DR. BOND said, "Also, why did Zona elect to do clinical trials in >>Mexico vs US?" Zonagen conducted Phase III clinical trials in Mexico (148 men), and in the U.S.(728 men). If you care to read details, you can find them here: zonagen.com >>In post #714 DR. BOND said, "ZONA IS A SCAM AND TIME WILL PROVE >>IT!" As stated before, it seems that most participants in this thread are well informed, and are aware of the risks involved with ZONA. So, what is the point of your post? Happy investing! DS

Be informed Dr. Bond. Over 1000 patients were enrolled in the US TRIALS. Mexican trials were preliminary.

Dr. Bond, is your first name by any chance, Gerard? <<Sorry to CRASH THIS PARTY.....But I couldn't resist........ ZONA IS A SCAM AND TIME WILL PROVE IT! Good Luck,>> I have seen this post before and I cannot adequately describe how impressed I am with your hypothesis!! This is why the SI is such a useful medium. Heretofore, only professionals with huge resources have had access to this kind of information. Thanks for evening the playing field for the small investor!! By the way, the link you provided contains a post that I remember from February. EVERY "point" made by "no name provided" was effectively refuted. The following is but one of the responses: <<To: (no name provided) (107 ) From: Jeff L. Wednesday, Feb 26 1997 2:23PM EST Reply #109 of 729 Very Bearish !, my friend. Very wrong, also !! Your comments are indicative of one who has read hyperbole, and not the PhaseII and Mexico clinicals. First of all, Vasomax has shown no dangerous or life-threatening side effects (I DARE you to find a particular, documented incident to back up your assertion!). Secondly, 62% vs. 42% is a 50% increase over placebo - that IS an approvable number (p val .001). Thirdly, in an abuse situation (ie double or even triple dosing) there were AGAIN no life threatening side effects, and NO increase in efficacy! (therefore, no incentive to take more than one pill) Kafka666, you appear to be more of a person whose lips move when you read the funny pages, rather than an informed investor. ZONA to 100 and BEYOND!!!!!!>> This post was made well before the release of U.S. Phase III data which showed efficacy far better than the Mexican trials. That is a major reason why the stock has done so well, IMHO.
