I heard about this on local radio station this morning and researched info immediately. I did not see it posted previously and apologize if it is a repeat. I have big interest in this subject matter. My husband, Captain Cynic, was recently diagonsed with NSCLC. Thanks to help of fellow FRiends, we have found what we think is the best treatment available. I continue to explore......

Very good catch on this.
Doctors could prescribe this drug already for this very condition in place of other BP medications, I would assume.

What is the best way to learn about the clinical trials for the new use for this drug? To find out WHERE they are accepting volunteers?
This sounds very exciting.
One question, however -- how come most ex-smokers mention that their lungs feel SO much better after quitting smoking, and that they can breathe better & deeper, and exercise longer???
Do some ex-smokers NOT have the damage described in the article, and if so, WHY???

IF you’re interested, here is a fascinating article about a common blood pressure medicine that reverses damage found in EX-smokers’ lungs.
