    Hi Berty

    I didn't know about this, so looked it up. Here is a link to some information about it.

    It's good to know that this research is going on.

    Joan :)

    Dig me up from my grave and let me know when this research has some actual benefit for someone in about 30 years.

    I've said before it's all very well announcing these 'wonder' cures but most of us won't see them in our lifetime.

    There was one on the news recently about MS, trials should start in 5 years and 10-15 years before human trials are to take place. For someone in the latter stages of the disease it's just kicking a man while he's down.


    i am well aware that it wont maybe help any of us but research is good i have young grandkids and if by chance they get visited by arther in later years then maybe the humble starfish might be of use

    Surely del we are 'benefitting' from research carried out ten, twenty or thirty years ago - that's what matters. I have taken part in research that led to the production of Beconase nasal spray - didn't help me but it has helped others. I don't give a damn about the future but others will still be coping with this rubbish and hopefully this sort of thing will help. DD
