This article is lacking in info. and old news to a certain degree. Studies and experimentation have been going on for a decade. The real news is not so much as to the power, but how it works. It, actually, blocks the pain receptor sites, is non-addictive (no high), body doesn’t build tolerance nor have withdrawal, and there are signs it can replace anesthesia in some procedures.
Thanks for the additional information. So it is a kind of a breakthrough, then.
