This will take time but encouraging to see research and funding in this area.

We can dream! Only in USA is money available for such experimentation so we here in UK and Europe will doubtless wait many moons should it prove possible.

Fascinating concept . . . it triggers lots of questions, which I suppose, may be answered by the research. It's great to know that the search for understanding and a solution is being pursued on so many fronts.

It has got to come the financial burden is becoming to great in the states. lets hope its sooner rather than later but at least the search in on for new treatment

yes thats a very good point - note the limitations here on hip replacements - given the cost of ablation is said to be £10,000 plus .. I can see the time coming where this may well suffer from economic tests..

Thanks Dmac, keeps my optimism levels topped up.
