crmgolf... Sorry, you are very correct about the cost of a thought... The FDA is a very strong arm of the US Govt., I have read  articles, that the FDA and big Pharm could be bed fellows(money talks)... The Big Boys don't like outsiders taking a slice from their pie(profits)..  Protokinetix has a product that can upset the apple cart, so to say..June 4, 2007 PR New release when Dr. Todd said That for years that the Co., was trying to reach a point that it's science stood on it's own legs... He said "We have turned the corner"..I'am glad the Co., is going to concentrate it's energy toward markets that don't require alot of phase testing..  Again, a good point that you bough to our attention, I do forget about cost of discussion..  I feel stem cell and diabetic research will only intensify from the amount of people it effects..  Thanks again... Hope you're watching the 2007 US OPEN!
