In depth knowledge of medical advances would be something our members probably would never hear about. The only person I can think of who has access to those things would be OCF's founder Brian Hill. He sits on many boards along with some the countrys top researchers/doctors/Phd's and hears about new things that are up and coming. Those things must clear the FDA and have trials done so its years before things come out. Brian may hear the confidential things way before the general public does but with confidentiality clauses he probably isnt able to discuss the things he hears of.
