My comment from another site:

My instincts and a little research tell me this guy has the right ideas but is a crook. First, the "announcement" is a press release that anyone could put out. They worked at making it seem like something more, but it is still a press release. And the trademarking of the term "Micro Release" is pretty tacky from a scientific view but just fine from a marketing view. I found some discussion by folks in 2008 who had attended one of the "seminars" and they were urged to sign up then and there for $ 6,000 each. Good money if you can get it. Finally I checked PubMed for any papers authored by Virgil Stenberg and came up zero. Keep your money. That having been said, the guy does seem to know more than most about the inflammatory issues related to PD and provides some plausable answers to some questions such as why do we handle stress so well in the early days only to be devastated by it in the later. I suggest that you read the release but keep your wallet out iof sight.
