Those Finns are abolsutely dedicated folks when it comes to science or engineering projects. They live awful dull and boring lives...and are the least talkative society in the civilized world. But they spend alot of time reflecting on what they see...and maybe that made the difference in the lab.

Bump for the natural medicines... it does seem God has made a remedy for each of our sufferings.

Sleep is a waste of time. Consider that if you sleep what is considered "normal" 8 hours, you have slept one third of your time. Thus a 30 year old man has been asleep for a total of ten years. On the other hand, he missed most of the Clinton administration.

it could take another three to seven years to win Food and Drug Administration approval to make the drug widely available.

Alzheimers and spinal cord injuries are two groups with almost nothing to lose if the drug proves innefective or has unexpected side effects, yet it will take 3 to 7 years to get approval. I wonder how many people with alzheimers will die or move beyond hope, or how many people with spinal cord injuries will see their legs or bodes atrophy during those 3 to 7 years.

I suspect that this is the type of drug that if it shows promise gets expedited approval.

Has that happened before? And what does expedited mean? It would seem to me if the people being treated have nothing to lose, then they at least, ought be able to get the drug based on the drug company's tests. With full consent of course.

MS?

I don't know.

But it mentions this:

***...The research also could lead to important treatment for people suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, Sanberg said. .....***
