The thing with the alternative medicine market is that they are restricted with the claims they can make. Ropren may well be what it is cracked up to be, but until it undergoes the correct clinical trials then they cannot claim that.

And it's the claim that's the problem - alternative & herbal medicines use lots of qualifiers like 'may' and 'could' etc - that's fine, but you're not going to get people to pay top dollar for something that 'may' work.

It may well work, but unless they've done the research that proves it, then they can't make the claims, and if they can't make the claims, they can't charge the $$$$.

I look forward to the future of such trials, and will be following them closely.
