My thoughts are that the link (which I have notified the moderators about) goes not to gabe mirkin's article but rather to dr pinna's website where pinna is indeed selling "products".
Pinna's website is a mismash of health, economics, etc but I agree with Klo that this website link borders on meriting quackwatch listing since dr pinna is touting "magic mushrooms" and not the psychedelic kind I took back in college but instead another "miracle" cure from China that is a combination of a worm and a fungus and of course not available from any recognized medical source but soon to be sold by pinna.

I will say that Trends in Microbiology article on HPV was excellent but of course neither Mirkin nor Pinna discussed it. Brian actually did but in plain english compared to the actual article. Here is a link that I think will go to the pdf version of the article but since it's a redirect, I don't know HPV malignant progression If it does not, here is a link to that issue of the journal Trends in microbiology where you can scroll down for the HPV article

Last but not least, thanks Stily for posting this as I had actinic keratosis three times and had it burned off but the first time was ten years ago and according to my ENT, that was approximately when my cancer tumor started . Of course it wasn't discovered until almost four years ago. So I;ll buy the theory that HPV is involved in actinic keratosis.
