Hi Ron:

They aren't saying that the work, or the cure is the problem, it is the
way it is being reported.  

"The widespread reactions from patients have raised questions
about how the media report word of preliminary medical advances."

And you as a doc should know more than anyone that as soon as a new
drug, etc is put into the media you are overwhelmed with phone calls.

Look what is happening to the docs and pharmacy's with the Viagara.  

I think that the reporting of these things should really be done with a
lot more caution.  But it doesn't mean that the study is a hoax.
