The main reason I read Physorg is learn about breakthroughs like this. What a rush!
My daughters have terrible asthma attacks. I hope this technology works in humans and becomes available asap.
..Pycnogenol, an extract from French Maritime Pine bark has shown to be effective against asthma as well as quercitin, a non-citrus bioflavonoid..In relation to this is the use of various barka as flavourings for soups and casseroles in Britain for hundreds of years until late 1800's. Had anti-inflammatory properties, I understand they may have been salicylates. The same effect might be achieved by 100mg aspirin a day.
It's great progress; I hope human trials can start soon. But they may need to delve into alternative nanoparticle compounds. Seriously, you do not want to inject PLG into lactose-intolerant patients.
Looks like a pretty big deal, but I've seen too many animal studies that didn't translate to humans..Indeed, the complexities of biochemistry.
Dose was still considerably below LD-50 & not considered toxic
Stuff is considered toxic WAY below LD-50. The '50' simply means that at that dose 50% of the tested organisms die.Yes ! and the reason I offered is to explore huge variants not the same metric for all poisons. All good microbiologists and food chemists should appreciate the philosophy of Paracelcus Eg.

could this be aplied to graves disease / leigh disease / melas ?
if you want to test it out, my wife and child have these diseases, we are desparate

So sorry for your plight. Unfortunately, this treatment is a long way off before they can test it on people. Try to find a naturopathic doctor in your area because they treat the system rather than the symptom. I can refer you to an M.D. that might be able to help if you send me a PM.
ty for your sympathy, but we live in holland, ill go search for one around here :)
greets :)

Nov 18, 2012If those statements both hold up, then this is huge - auto-immune diseases like MS, Type-1 diabetes, arthritis, etc. could be cured.
It is also likely that it could be used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.
