Not enough information to say one way or another. Remember it hasn't been that long since blood letting was state if the art. That and leeches and maggots were used. Now two if those three are still used. So who knows he may have found something amazing! Time will tell. He could just be looking for investors.

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.

This sounds like a process that could work, but like so many things in development, it will take time to see if it works as well as hoped. Someday this idea may come to Fruition.
