Protocel - crap or not?

| Hey guys,
What about this Protocel stuff? They have a fairly convincing website
and supposedly it helps MS. It was discussed here once in 2000 but you
guys didn't say anything conclusive.

What do you guys think now? I want to hear the scientific view not
subjective opinions.
Thanks,
Tony

| Bah, bunches of hooey.
While it may have some benefit in certain diseases I doubt it has ANY
scientific benefit. Why don't you go and look for scientific studies
yourself.
Drugs that claim to treat many many many types of diseases are usually a
pile of doggie doo-doo.

i don't know why you say it's a fairly convincing website -- they list
a bunch of diseases, everything from cancer to herpes to AIDS to 'all
pet conditions' -- !!! -- that this is effective with; they list the
ingredients in a confusing manner, and the ONLY 'scientific testing'
they tout that proves the anti-oxidant effect, was conducted BY the
manufacturers of protocel. 'a prominent cancer patient who wishes to
remain nameless,' and other anecdotal 'evidence' seems to constitute
their 'miraculous proof.'
the page you gave has a bunch of stuff about cancer. when one clicks
on 'other conditions,' this is what you get --
"Other Diseases, AIDS, Herpes...
Protocel has been effective against viruses including AIDS, Herpes (see
below), Chronic Fatigue syndrome, lupus, endimetriosis, Crohn's
disease, fibromyalgia, almost all auto-immune disease, and has some
success treating: ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Multiple Sclerosis,
Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Leukemia, Rheumatoid
Arthritis, and Scleroderma. Information about these diseases and
Protocel will be added as I continue my research. I don't have any more
information on the above diseases that don't have a link, please
contact HOPE for more information"
the only ones with links were AIDS, Herpes, colds and 'flue'. they all
said basically the same thing, other than the AIDS link.
the reason people aren't discussing the science is because there IS no
science at the site.
theyve got 2 different formulas, each of which has a long list of
'diseases and conditions' the 2 formulas supposedly work best with. you
cant' take a bunch of things because they 'interfere with the
effectiveness' -- vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, flax seed oil, etc.
it's another miracle cure for everything, being suppressed by a vast
conspiracy of greed and apparently the desire to see people suffer.
yadda, yadda. if it was a miracle cure, the pharma-co's seem more
likely to be lining up trying to buy the right to it on the cheap, than
spending zillions of dollars suppressing the research.
i'd suggest sugar water as an alternative, but the site says that sugar
also renders protocel inactive, but they suggest honey as a fine
alternative. spoonful of honey in the water would be cheaper.
