I may not have been clear . It was the phama company that made the offer. On the basis that there was a fear that the product would never see the light of day, that offer from the pharma company was declined and ASEA moved toward the model
they now operate with. The call was ASEA's to make.
I'm amazed at my own personal experience with ASEA. I won't go into it because I suspect that you may be looking for a microscope to jump off the lab table , run around the room and proclaim how good it feels. Not going to happen.
If I used personal experience alone as a basis for changing my practice, I'd have my license revoked. I have that burden of evidence. ASEA clearly does not, so anecdotes and poorly-done studies may suffice.
As for how big pharma operates, it's not uncommon to buy other ideas and table them if they don't pan out. That is hardly evidence of a big pharma conspiracy, though the folks at ASEA are more than happy to pass off there self-deluded conjectures as fact. In reality, they probably decided it was worth the gamble to see if people would buy $30 salt water instead of taking a lump sum from someone who would buy the idea. I'm thinking they should've taken the money and run.
