Disappointing 1: the underlying paper is behind a paywall.

Disappointing 2: according to the New Daily article,
"The biggest hurdle, apart from funding, is that MCC950 came off a patent. This means the researchers have had to develop variations of the original drug for intellectual property reasons. Those new drugs are currently being tested and, according to Dr Woodruff, proving to be even more effective."

But, the good news is that there are plenty of natural compounds in this area. See [2].

Has anyone tried low dose aspirin?
