So true, Dr. Romero! I did the same PubMed searches - but he doesn't say his publications were in the journals covered by PubMed (it might have even been "Reader's Digest!") And I would really appreciate you or someone checking into his credentials. I did make a personal visit to the lab - he is working on something with the rats related to PD - and showed me evidence that the FDA had been working there reviewing his pre-clinical trials. I admit not much at the website, but we'll keep being detectives!
