imho,
the alberts study was a very small study, one patient's results might have swung the resulting conclusion. pd phase 1 studies are often successful while the larger phase 2 studies aren't so i'd certainly wait until the results of the 2nd larger study are released before jumping to any final conclusions. it's speculated that phase1 studies are often successful because they attract more "gung ho" candidates where there is a stronger potential placebo affect.

always the skeptic here. hope it works well nan but seems like some research still needs to be peer reviewed and published before being mentioned here.
