Many treatments that are effective in animals do not prove to be effective in humans, or prove to have unacceptable toxic effects when given to patients, Dr. Shafer reminds.
This is from the link you gave:

There are websites that say many misleading and inaccurate things.
This is why I suggested to you that you stop cruising the net..which is basically making you MORE anxious and confusing you.
