Ph my! You dont want to go there! My cousin developed GB syndrome like overnight. Just woke up one morning and couldn't move or breathe on his own. He's been in and out of the hospital and in a LRC facility for over a year. This is why they dropped this study like a hot potato!

But I also heard that majority of people didn't develop this syndrome. Isn't it possible to test in vitro whether someone's immune system will attack GM1 and is vulnerable to developing the syndrome ? If so, you don't give them GM1. But if not, you can give the person GM1.
