    It's always left out, and this I will get bashed again for agreeing. I think what she is doing is great. I sometimes think doctors prescribe medication and just hope for the best? Actually, they do just hope for the best! I know they shy away from any technology that could be used againt them in a malpractice suit.

This effect, called the Placebo Effect is too often left out. I've seen people run to the Internet when they are diagnosed with a disease--and they just get worse. Back on topic--I hope her company helps patients, and brings down the cost of medicine, and not another investment story?
