This could possibly be a major find, but how would we get the ingredient in the skin cream to where it counts? Would we rub ib into our skin or what . I have long believed that our disease begins at the celliular level, more specifically in the cell' s mitochondria - the "powerhouse of cells. Yet , we have poor animal models, as those used for testing are usually lesion end rats. I read that 95% of animal models fail! and that makes it takes even longer than 15-18 years to gain drug approval.
I would support doing away with animal studies altogether based on that low number of successful trials.
Olsen - whew do you get such interesting topics? Do you use alerts?
Thx
Peggy
