The Myelin Project

Post by LisaMyers »

I just finished watching again, Lorenzo's Oil.
I just looked up The Myelin Project online. I found this info to be so interesting.

I especially find it interesting because they also talk about nerve regrowth.

This was also interesting. There is a drug recommended for patients within three hours of their injury of the spinal cord. I'm no doctor. But, I wonder if this is something they could do for bpi.

Hi Lisa- thanks for the links. I know that one of the things that Dr. Nath is working on is gene therapy to stop the formation of neuromas. Can you imagine if the nerves could just grow back together? Wow!
