Hello Bny I used to say that I'd eat [I]eye-of-newt [/I ]if I thought it might help. The infamous "they" have experimented with carpel tunnel, and Alzheimer's. Problem was and is, the belief that "mestinon" didn't pass the blood/brain barrier. Some researchers in the US said, "Oh, yes it can..." As
