Kevin, Elliott has been saying these things for over a decade. He's no fool. He's a visionary, so he's either very right or very wrong. Being a trained scientist makes it more likely he is very right IMHO- he knows what he has to do to get his ideas accepted by his peers and he's doing it properly, as well as staking his life's work and reputation on this.

What he now needs to do is "prove it" in an acceptable study- I mean "acceptable" to the medical community (which is like the VFP community, but bigger and fiercer ;-) ) in which case it can be brought into medical practice without creating a bonanza for lawyers. Running a human study is not easy when much of the Western world has barriers to use of animal tissue in humans. Doing it in Russia has cut many years from the time it would have taken otherwise.
