Thanks, Roz, very interesting. This particular researcher, Fink DJ, keeps cropping up in the articles that catch my eye about pain research. It really does seem that gene therapy may really be the way to go. In just the last 18 months there have been positive results with benefits to a whole range of medical conditions, notably Parkinsons and neuropathic diseases, and us.

BTW, I am so impressed with Michael J. Fox getting out there for stem cell research, and horrified at that Rush thingy person's reaction.... MJF for president!
all the best
