This is only a "research letter" from Ermanno "Kid Kilo G" Greco and even a phone number, Tunica could communicate with him in good french. They actually said they used a 1Kg weight. I do not think is ethical to put so much weight in anybody's arm. Did they actually count for how long? Was there a breaking point vs a bending point criteria? And of course the "markets" know better and they will respond with a selloff. I wish I have a good chunk of cash available for the Monday sale. Will the company respond to this "research letter"? Or will they just be stoically silence again? Research letters are not highly scrutinized as a real article is. And their prestige depends on the Author background. Who is Brother Greco? Not even one of the usual "expert" urologist was willing to sign this letter. Even if the study is true, Who in their right mind will subject the patients to this? How did The Lancet accept this "research letter" for print? do they know if this was safe? Did Greco use increasing weights in normal human subjects to arrive to the new standard 1 kg erection? Maybe the print version has more information and details of the "bukling test" than the online one.
