Is that the correct URL?  I had to take off the "&page=1" at the end to get it to work.

Anyway, this is yet another reason that I'm always skeptical about a lot of these Holy Supplement claims.  Repeatedly things like this popped up in the 90's pre-protease inhibitors when it seemed all HIV patients popped multiple vitamins and herbs, myself included, only to be told it was doing more harm than good.
