You make some good points:
- You would think that an organization like Abbott would distance themselves rapidly from Biocurex if they found the technology to be weak.  However, for all we know, they are conducting a double blind clinical trial that isn't complete.  
 
- The science writer you mention joins a lengthy club of people "in the know" who have never heard of this technology or this company.  This relates to the point I was making in an earlier post:  if the technology is as good as stated, management is doing a poor job of giving it credible exposure.
 
One thing that has kept my interest is Dr Gold's "involvement". 
If this technology does what Dr Moro claims, it should be a slam dunk.
