[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly never understood the appeal of the product.  Sure, blood draws aren't fun, but they aren't impossible or even particularly difficult.  It always seemed like a solution in search of a problem.  Then to have it be fake in the end . . .  just stupidity all around.[/quote]

[b]See, I thought the idea was brilliant[/b] and I hope there's an iota of truth and someone can push this idea through. Results with a drop of blood! Right now, they take three vials for one test! They took three vials to test my child for lead! And I'm not sure if this is part of it, but I would like instant results to ME and not my doctor holding it hostage. It's my blood, after all.

What idea?  There's no idea here?!?!  Everyone in clinical knows how much blood/serum is required to run tests and everyone knows how insensitive most diagnostics tests are so it is CONSTATNTLY being worked on.  When I heard the NON-IDEA I just laughed and watched the roller coaster from the sidelines.  I tried at first to search for patents/journal articles, etc. to see exactly what the NON-IDEA was and since there was nothing there I knew it was a scam.[/quote]

Everyone knows humans can't fly either, yet we do. Of course we all want ideas and progress. If her idea had all the components to also improve dx tests, would it work? Can you stretch your brain that this is not how we will be doing this in 100 years? That even though it wasn't EH, it will be someone else? It won't be you; you're too busy being smug to progress anything. Enjoy the sidelines. [/quote]

You completely misunderstand the point.  No one is saying this is impossible.  It is and will be possible one day.   But you can't just make it happen by dropping out of college without the most rudimentary background in the field, put on a costume, change your voice and say, "I think I can, I think I can".  Again, WHAT IS THE IDEA?  What did she figure out, what nuance did she exploit to increase the sensitivity several logs over the current state of the art?  I'll tell you again, there never was an idea.  [/quote]
