It was not Pat's study. It was funded by Pat's co. This is the same way all the pharm co. studies are done. This is rediculous that people question it because it was funded by his co. Why not look at who did the study rather than who funded it. If everyone was a sceptic about a co funding a study, there would be no drugs on the market. Why, pray tell, would an independent co spend millions of dollars to do study on a drug, if they weren'g going to make money off of it. That would be plain silly. Of course, the company that stands to make money off of a product, will be the one to fund the study. The sad thing is, PA's company is one of the only supp companies to do this.
