Hi Gang, Is it Hype or is it sound scientific understanding with a high likelihood of some sort of success. biz.yahoo.com "Viewers of this TV program will learn the role played by Cortisol, the powerful hormone manufactured by the adrenal gland in causing disease or major symptoms of diseases and the potential therapeutic role of the anticortisol drugs. Dr. Sapse will discuss STGI's anticortisol drug ANTICORT(TM) as the prototype drug in enhancing the effectiveness of presently used drugs treating AIDS, heart attacks, ulcers, hypertension, diabetes and psoriasis as well as its role in alleviating or reducing symptoms due to cortisol in disorders such as cancers, multiple sclerosis (MS), Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), aging and Alzheimers." I suppose the real question is this. Is there much research in this area? Are others trying to develop products to address this relationship? Would success in one indication suggest that it's role in other indications would show similar benefits even if only differing by degree? Any Thoughts Jeffrey
