i have checked out Innovative Health Concept. Here is what I found:
http://innovativemedconcepts.com/index.html
Innovative Med Concepts (IMC) is a biotech company with a pipeline of novel treatments for fibromyalgia and other related conditions that appear to share a common underlying pathophysiology—irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), chronic neck and back pain, and cognitive impairment. IMC's potentially game-changing, innovative treatments have emerged from breakthrough scientific discoveries in HSV-1 reaction—the factor leading to many of the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia and its related conditions.
That sounds good.
Then I took a look at their scientific advisory board which worries me for 2 of these people are well known as psychologizers.
