I have no idea if the drug will work, that's why we play the game, or in the case of disease, why we conduct the trials. However, the science behind the theory is enough to convince me that I would rather spend a few bucks a month (less than CoQ10 that we all take or took) and find out in 5 years it didn't work, than sit on the sidelines watching and find out it does work. Of course, like any other drug you should first discuss its potential use with your doctor, particularly if you are hypotensive.

Regarding stem cell research, I too would like to see more of it, along with research in several other areas, like growth factors and vaccines to prevent protein misfolding. We all can have opinions, but no one knows in the end which will or won't work.
