> There IS a product which they are selling, 4 sure. I also know, however, that it costs money to create, manufacture, and market a product. And to devote yourself fulltime to a job,cause,project, etc. requires money - quite possibly supported by sales of the product. Who would give the company money for an unproven, non-pharmaceutical-based product? ummm..."no one" is one very-possible answer...I'm trying NOT to be overly idealistic/optimistic about the product, nor overly skeptical - though clearly the desire to believe is stronger. Like everyone else, I'm just anxiously awaiting results of research studies. "TRUEHOPE" is at this point a perfect description of our attitudes regarding the ACTUAL effectiveness of the product.Yet my multivitamin, with almost the same ingredients, costs about two dollars a month. And convincing people to pay huge amounts of money for hope alone has been a profitable business for centuries.
