I think it is interesting that Mr. Roberts points out that these treatments are simply treatments and not a cure. Does anyone actually expect a cure? I think of major chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, arhritis, etc.. Not one has a cure. Many are treatable, but none cured.

Anyway, the article is a quick read. Check it out.
