Wannabe,

While this may be an interesting discovery I can't get too excited about the fact that it got excellent results on that poor MS mouse. There have been many therapies that have worked on that mouse that never translated into anything for human MS.

About 10 years ago my wife took part in a clinical trial with a drug that stopped and reversed MS in the mouse. About a year into the trial, a patient that was receiving the large dose of the drug died when the drug affected his heart severely. They abruptly stopped the trial.My wife was on the placebo...whew!

Let's hope that this recent discovery proves to go against the odds and something really positive comes of it.

Harry
