It's good that we can finally say "the NMSS may be recognizing the potential of this drug". Other then that, I really don't anticipate anything coming out of this meager token that's been awarded.

It doesn't seem to matter that the mainstream drugs we have to choose from are fairly ineffective; many people and doctors hang their hats on the fact that they have at least been trialed/scientifically proven (to be mostly ineffective).

It probably just comes down to "hope", in many cases, and we all need that!

Every drug or treatment option we have available to us, has the potential to be "the one" that offers us (as individuals) some advantage though. So, as long as the potential risk doesn't outweigh the benefits, and the cost isn't too silly, they are worth trying IMHO; trialed or not.
