I have a friend who has been in the hospital for about a month. A few days into his stint, my wife, a retired nurse, diagnosed him as having transverse myolitis (sp) and urged his wife to request a neural consult. She did, but the Drs. dragged their feet for three weeks, delaying IV antibiotics and steroids which likely would have saved him from his lower extremities paralysis he now has. I wonder if this new stuff would work for him.
Might be worth passing some info about it along to your friends. The developers might be looking for candidates to do trials with.
