Your friends must be total idiots.  Cannot say anything more that wouldn't include mainly 4 letter words.

The DD you have seen re: CTIX and yet you even question whether Dr Reddy's is involved w/ Prurisol?

I would have thought the ongoing clinical trial at D-F and which is on the D-F website would have been proof enough that they are not a pump and dump.  Add in the Science Advisory Board members and their reputations, Dr M's proven successes, etc. and the post borders on libel.  Not criticizing you, just those who gave you the info but still can't believe you let any of this ilk bother you.

Caution is one thing, listening to those with absolutely no clue quite another.
