This was neither "old" news nor a hoax. As I read it, it was a major
breakthrough. They do animal studies all the time on thousands of drugs.
When something shows this kind of a result it is, indeed, big news.

I don't understand how your work experience proves whether you are a liar
or not. (Note that I'm not accusing you of being a liar) I thought you
had told everyone you worked for the CIA for many years. Perhaps you're
a lot older than I am. :)
Ron's a medical doctor and he seems to agree that this is not a hoax,
even though it is a long way from being a product approved for use in
humans. Based on all the other information I've read I'm inclined to
believe Ron and others who have concluded this is not a hoax.
