Anything is possible, but is it probable?
The idea seems right; however, too "right" and too simple to be even plausible.
I love it when these arm chair drug/herbal companies make these blanket statements without backing up their arguments with proof. Was there any proof, or references, offered? I supposed not otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question, so chalk this up to just another bad case of hard-sell.
Oh hell to hard-sell ...
