If you check the archives you will see I wrote a note some time ago
about 4-AP. (with almost no response, I might add ??) Anyway I said that
the initial trials took place, among other places at St Joseph's Hospital in
Hamilton Ontario. I would love to be in a trial but you have to drug free
-- mind you when they start with real people (like WHO in our conditions is
drug free) -- I'll be there -- the tapes were quite remarkable of the girl i
saw who had been paralyzed for over five years --got the shot and was able
to do a straight leg raises in her wheel chair. Can't say I know about TM
patients -- I think we are closer to MS than traumatic spinal cord injuries
-- would certainly be "annooyed" if that were another reason for exclusion.
Your question is going to make me do some phoning tomorrow !!!
