This is from blowfish or the puffer fish. A lot of what I read states for cancer pain but the TV show also stated nerve pain, along with some research when I searched this online, it mentions nerve pain also.
The man they interviewed was pleased with the results, he was taking part in a trial study for nerve pain.
Thought I'd share it with you all in case you haven't heard about it.
It does have risks but again it's only in the trial phases.

I have heard rumour of this through my rsd support network here in Vancouver.
This is a Multicentre , Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Design Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Tetrodotoxin (Tectin™) for Moderate to Severe Inadequately Controlled Cancer-Related Pain. I do not know if CRPS/RSD patients are included in any way. It is estimated that the clinical trail will be finished in Dec 2009.
