Interesting article. But I can't find what status these people are, I can't find anything that says Doctor, or Head of some Scientific department.
Check the sources. 
I am constantly on the look for anything that can make a Marek's paralyzed chicken walk again. My interest in this thread is that many times I read that people take the blame on themselves for SJW not working. Such as the wrong concentration , etc. Even Walleywaller seems to doubt her choice of sjw hypericum brand.
It's natural enough to feel bad over theoretical failures, but it's also an entirely reasonable doubt in this area. Very touchy subject, lots of emotional distress involved. I don't believe you're trolling, myself, but can see how your stance on it could be interpreted that way.
I read the whole article and found that there was very little mention of large groups of people involved as the test-ees. It appears that sjw can slightly improve antibiotic treatment of skin wounds. But the % increase from SJW is not mentioned.
It's a write-up, a condensed and derivative article based on numerous studies. When looking for info I found many studies involving large groups of people, on other sites, but the other articles were very scientific and I thought probably of less use and accessibility in this context, so didn't share them.
I have to question any article that states one herb can improve Alzheimer's, tumors, depression, bacterial infections, amnesia, startle response in people with Huntington's desease and schizophrenia, help addicts because it's equivalent to Clonidine for opium withdrawal, and assist in battling certain types of virus in AIDS and the flu.
Questioning is good. When in doubt, check the sources, and check the trials themselves, and make up your own mind based on the evidence you see.
My own research into nutrition and the chemical properties of plants has led me to stop automatically dismissing what used to seem far-fetched claims of multiple seemingly freakishly potent actions, as I always used to when far more ignorant than I am these days. Every single nutrient has multiple powerful actions.
The science is provided in support of the claims made, all one has to do is track the original studies they cite.
...exposing tumor cells to Hypericum and irradiation light can disable a few tumor cells, like fight cancer with positive results, but the results are probably too small to list, or "further research is needed". -How can I expose tumors to Hypericum and Irradiation light outside a petrie dish?
That was not the pertinent part of the article, nor is it the main method of tumor/cancer destruction by Hypericum.
I know of ways to fight cancer, but radiation and chemo are far too expensive for my chickens and their health insurance won't cover it.
Have you tried fighting the Marek's tumors using these ways?
There are world renowned Researchers that have extensively studied Marek's, one is Karel, another is Schat.
What sort of experimental medicines did they try? Or did they just study the pathology?
I just don't like anything that tends to make well meaning people guilty when the hypericum doesn't work.
The frontier of any experimental medicine is fraught with guilt and doubts and questions and moral/ethical judgments, but the more people try to protect against potential emotional harm as the main priority, the less likely we are to actually find solutions. Once they're symptomatic you don't have any options aside from culling, with most of them. Clearly people have to try something.
I'm completely sure that the average user of this forum is intelligent enough to know that trying a herb they hear about on the internet is generally not considered endorsed nor proven medicine; however, the situation with Marek's is dire enough and urgent enough for them to be forced to either take risks or just sit back and watch them die. It's no use to caution against trying experimental medicine once the birds are dying of Marek's and officially there is 'nothing to be done'. Good intentions can end up being received negatively sometimes or even be counterproductive.
Anyway, I'm sure your attempts to comfort some folks here, or assuage their doubts, are well received and helpful, even if others don't feel the need.
Best wishes.
