Here's a discussion of this in the New York Times - https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/30/health/bacteria-enlisted-...

"Dr. Hillman has been working on this therapy for 25 years and first applied to the F.D.A. for permission to begin a clinical trial in 1998. The agency, the company said, has demanded change upon change to make sure the modified bacteria would not run amok, cause undesirable changes in the mouth, or revert to a cavity-producing form. To win approval, Oragenics has agreed that the 15 volunteers in the first trial will not even have teeth -- they will have dentures."

This differs from the version I heard from Aaron in that Aaron said 100 people and NYT says 15 people, but NYT says the FDA demanded "change after change", so the 100 might be either an earlier or a later version of this.

Hopefully this changes your opinion of whether or not this is a scam, and of how much you understand about the FDA approval process.

Given that this version from the NYT is very different from the one in the post, and far more reasonable in its requirements, it makes it even more apparent that the linked product is a scam.

Exaggerating details the way the linked post does is one of the major red flags of almost every scam. Especially dangerous is the way it attempts to make the regulator the enemy based on a fraudulent retelling of actual events.
