    Press release from KPAX Pharmaceuticals - they don't seem to consider the results as negative, unsurprisingly.

    So, does
    mean they consider ME to be an age related mitochondrial disease? If so how do they explain erm..children with ME?

    Or am I overthinking what would appear to be a poor choice of words, or random scientific sounding brain fart?

    You are not overthinking, your exposing flaws in their logic. Their motive makes some sense but it really does sound like they are just chasing dollar signs as i have mentioned in the other threads addressing this "drug"

    Is anyone here going to contact the researchers and ask for their comment on this press release? Their research is being misrepresented and misused by the drug company.

    @dave30th it looks like it's not just BPS null trials that suffer from spin. This is a clear case of a press release that claims success for a null trial.

    Between this and the researchers behind the shopping bag trial on top of everything else happening i think we have enough to keep David Tuller going for quite a while, i'll need to double my donation (which will then be matched/doubled again) to pay his salary :)

    Yes, I was very confused when I saw the press release as opposed to the study results.
