      One of the major concerns about the data in this paper is the prior probability of the results reflecting the truth. Antineoplastons have no scientific basis better than homeopathy or psychic surgery. Hence, the prior probability associated with the results of this paper should be so small that a bayesian correction of its estimates (by the way, they were not even reported!) must invalidate its results. Try again (actually, don't!).
