My mom has multiple sclerosis. Recently, researchers found that two currently available drugs reverse de-myelinization in mice. The drugs are only approved for being applied to the skin, though - it hasn't been proven to regulator's standards that they're safe for humans to swallow or inject.
Can anything be done to take advantage of this other than "sit and wait for years while Medical Science does more research"?
I think this is the kind of question MetaMed was created to answer. MetaMed's website seems to be offline. Has the company shut down?
Yes. It would be helpful if they did a public postmortem, but I'm not sure there's a way to do that that's not ugly.
