3. Not to defend the use of the drug, I think it is bogus and I wouldn't take it,

but I wonder if it was only administered when the patients already had one foot in the grave? If given to people who were unlikely to survive, the results may be skewed. The key to my question is the admission that it was not a controlled study. Anecdotal evidence, even on a large scale is still anecdotal.

The problem with drug studies and drug development is they just take scientific method and time to render rational conclusions.
