This could help many who suffers excrutiating chronic pain. It would also undermine the cause of pot advocates.:-)

I am sure Mr. Kerimov would be excited to hear this development if he survives.:-)

It stops a sodium channel, which produces nerve impulses that convey pain signals to the brain, from functioning. So the otherwise healthy individuals do not experience pain.So in other words if Hellary was their Senator they would not suffer torture. Amazing!

He died on his 14th birthday after jumping from a roof.The possible side effects of this gene may outweigh the benefits.

This is very hopeful news. There are many people who suffer unremitting nerve pain which is very difficult to treat. Hopefully this will lead to something that will help them.
To: Red Badger

"This is a band-aid on a cancer."
I would love a good non-opioid pain killer. I deal with chronic pain from two rear-end auto accidents. I get through most my day just dealing with the pain. However I general end up taking a 7.5/200 Vicoprofen every day sometime in combo with a Tramadol, the Tramadol alone will not cover the pain. I stay on the schedule 3 narcotics, because they are a lot less problem for my doctor because of the stupid war on drugs.
