Re: FYI. $44K Grant to Dr. Zagon...?LDN

[Guest guest]

Studies in animals are important. I worked on an antiviral compound a

few years ago. We had extremely promising invitro (test tube)

results. We also had, albeit unintentional, human stories. No one

really cared. The general science response is " eh, who cares. when's

my next meeting? " Our next step, which we estimated to be about

$50,000, was to do the test tube test but in a rabbits eye. (we would

use herpes VI, cytomegalovirus as the model)The eyes were chosen as

they are not as actively involved with the rest of the body as say an

intestine or a paw. (no bodily fluids passing through on a regular

basis). Studies in a living animal is the logical step to do the

studies.

> I have to agree with Cyndi here. If his research is with lab rats

then he's going to spend the 44K on EAE (experimental allergic

encephalomyelitis) which has always been performed on rats. They

shoot up their immune systems to make it look and act like they have

MS. But an EAE is considered a " monophasic illness " happens one time

and you can recover. Where MS just keeps on going and going . So

even the rats will recover with or without LDN. I'm not bashing EAE's

they've helped uncover quite a few things in the fight against MS.
