The proponents of this treatments say it is cheap, simple and effective and are implying that the major drug companies refuse to further its research as it will result in billions of dollars of lost revenue. The other side of the coin is that the detractors say the treatment plain does not work.
My sympathies to all those that have been affected by this disease, either directly or indirectly. It is one of those things which really have no silver lining and I can only wish that the answer was this simple
