I'd argue that a true researcher will never tout a cure - research is based
on probability (what's the chance of the finding being due to a mistake,
error, or artifact?).  That's why we use statistics, repeat experiments,
and use controls.  That also takes time, something a person with a problem
doesn't have - time to wait for a "proven" solution.  And even in the best
of cases, new information may change the whole issue. Be wary of anyone
proclaiming themselves an expert with the magic bullet.  If it really
works, the data will speak for itself.
