Silent Majority?

As a person that has benefited greatly from B1, I am confused /bemused at the fact that it has not exploded in popularity. Internationally we seem to have dozens of examples of success to one degree or another.

Also, has anyone heard how Dr. Constantini is getting on these days?

Dear all,

With this message I would like to update you on Dr. Costantini’s condition. First though let me thank you all so very much for the unbelievable display of affection, your thoughts and kind words for him, and for us all really, are so very appreciated. This is heartwarming and it fills me with joy to know we have a community of patients and friends on this forum.

The planned surgical procedure was a carotid endarterectomy. Sadly a few hours after the procedure was concluded, Dr. Costantini’s heart had an episode of fibrillation. Before the fibrillation was controlled by the medical staff it had caused a coagulation and consequently a stroke.

Very regrettably, Dr. Costantini reported motor impairments consequent to the stroke. He left the intensive care section of the hospital last weekend and since this week he has been transferred to a rehabilitation structure near his hometown. He has been having his closest friends and family around him.

Antonio is making progress. Although the consequences of the stroke were severe, the critical few days that went by have shown a positive trend.

However, the rehabilitation will take time and it is too early to tell when he will be back in shape as we truly hope he will, at some point.

As Dr. Costantini really needs to focus on his own health this time, it is of the utmost importance that our research is embraced by other scientists in collaboration with us through a multi-location formal trial. Now even more than ever before.

I will dedicate all my time and energy to trying to secure a prosecution of the work done to date for the benefit of the current and future patients.

Thank you all for your understanding and apologies to those who have been seeking our attention and have not received it yet.

-Marco (Doc. Colangeli)

Thank you for letting us know. Am so sad to hear of Dr Costantini's stroke. I'm sure all his HU patients join me in saying that our loving thoughts and gratitude are with him.

You would think. The only way B1 information spreads is through word-of-mouth and on forums like this 1, because PWP can't learn about it from healthcare professionals. That's because the blood brain barrier of doctors goes through a transformation while they're in medical school, such that it prevents molecules of non-pharmaceutical information to get through. Harvard did a study of this and it concluded that 99% of doctors suffer this affliction.

It has three strikes against it. It's a supplement, it's cheap, and no bad side effects. Also, you don't become dependent on it. Who's going to give somebody money to test it? Nobody. Not complicated enough.
