Many may see my posts as being negative and I have no problem with that. We are entitled to our own opinions.
I am an engineer and have worked in the aerospace world for the past 10 years. Having said this, I live in a black and white world, either some thing works or it doesn't. Partial success or partial failure over any given time is still considered a failure. Though we, through history, have learned much from our past mistakes, gained valuable information, we improve our techniques and all resulting in safer procedures. Dr. Huang on the other hand refuses to publish data he has collected with the 100+ OEC patients he has operated on. His staff performs PFT, MRI, EMG tests on all patients and also video tapes all patients before and after the surgery.
So I ask the ALS community why is Dr. Huang performing these tests when he knows he has no intention on following up with his patients? Could it be part of the smoke and mirrors and the adding to the patients psychological well being? Placebo effects last longer on patients with positive psychological beliefs and outlooks. History has proved this fact over and over.
I will go on record by openly stating that I believe the OEC procedure is on average 75% placebo effect and roughly a 25% boost to the patients body. The new O.E. cells injected into the patient live and or survive in the patients body for about 3 months where they either die naturally or are eliminated by the immune system.
To conclude: FACT: China’s average individual’s income is approximately $6,000.00 US per year. The average cost to the OEC patient is $20,000.00 US. Now with 100+ OEC patients under Dr. Huang’s belt he has collected over $2,000,000.00 US. Lets assume Dr. Huang’s overhead is $1M to $1.5M US this still leaves a surplus of $500,000.00 US. With my very generic figures and reasoning I think I have clearly shown that if Dr. Huang truly does care about PALS he would hire a staff of around half dozen data collectors. These data collectors could track the first 100 OEC patients (17 patients / collector) monitor the PALS monthly health by a standardized health chart.
I’m not here to demoralize or undermine Dr. Huang’s intellect or OEC procedure but basic science rules & data collection 101 skills are being left out of his overall formula. I encourage and welcome all concerns and comments.
