The most interesting thing about all this is the fact that the researchers were required by paper authors to sign non-disclosure agreements and agree not to identify papers with non-reproducible results. This says a lot about the confidence authors have in their papers, doesn't it?

Sorry but this isn't science anymore.

It's good old capitalism making money from "treating" sickness. The longer the better. A lifetime of "treatment" means a lifetime of profits.

Who cares about the cure.
