Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Barry is the name of the spammer promoting Bioboost on various WLS online groups. After checking Medline and the other databases, it was discovered that there were no formal studies done or even submitted for peer review about Bioboost. There are testimonials but no scientific evidence whatsoever on the product's web site. No clinical trials have been done or submitted for pre-trial review at any of the major centers. No ISO reviews of the production methods have even been requested, let alone undertaken and passed. When I searched the archives of one group, I found that in his post on Sat Nov 4, 2006, he said, " hi there..i also suffer from MS...i had the DS 4 1/2 yrs ago..have been healthy and continued to lose.... " But in a follow-up post, he said that he'd been hospitalized 14 times in 2006 for nutritional deficiencies. He was unable to explain the discrepancy when asked. In another posting on Fri Dec 22, 2006, he said he had WLS 8 months ago. (Again, no response when asked to explain himself.) He also couldn't justify why RNY and BPD/DS patients who had surgery to CREATE malabsorption would purchase a product to reverse that. Barry and his Bioboost buddies have now been removed from several other WLS online groups. > > I had a pt bring a printout in about this product today.
