Lance, if I handed you a pile of medical research papers and asked you to pick out the one that "will rock the medical world", could you do it? If I showed you a dozen patents that were granted this past week, could you tell me which one will "set the medical world on fire"? Do you think Big Dog is qualified to make that judgment? I don't think so. Looks like everyone here is playing Lotto. The sentiment is "well, what if they really do have the cure for AIDS or cancer or aging. I could be rich." OK, now forget about what you hope they have. What do they actually advertise on their web site? All I see is a skin cream and a plan for shrimp farms interspersed with a few buzzwords and references to papers featuring technology owned by others. I don't doubt there is a Dr. Conrad holed up in a lab in Kansas. But there are thousands more like him. I'm sure his research is exciting, much like that done by his thousands of other colleagues. It is CYGS's job, though, to make you think they've somehow found the medical equivalent of Albert Einstein. Maybe they've even convinced themselves they have. But these are the same people who also convinced themselves they could freeze and then reanimate embryos. These are the same people who fraudulently claimed a local doctor was leading their research team until that doctor's lawyer put a stop to it. This is the same group that is led by someone fined $100,000 for his role in perpetuating insurance fraud and, while involved at CYGS, sued a couple more times. Jimbo recently posted an article about a breakthrough in antisense. Seems to me that group of scientists just published what CYGS only claims to have. Can anyone dispute that? #reply-5479737I I noticed the lead researcher, Dr. Wickstrom, "has been working on antisense theory for 16 years". Dr. Wickstrom leaves behind a slew of published material in a long and distinguished career. I can't find a single publication by Dr. Conrad. Again, I'm not saying Conrad's research is not promising, it's more like "what research?" I could go on and on about how several people posting on this thread were paid promoters of CYGS, and did so without any disclosure. But at this point, I think enough has been said by me and others to give people an idea of what kind of company they may be investing in. If they choose to invest, that's their prerogative. That was the prerogative of the investors in MTEI who now that the SEC has shut them down most likely have lost it all. Will it happen here? I think there's a fairly good chance at that. But don't let that deter you. I could be wrong. I guess only time will tell. - Jeff
