British scientists have found that retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, can reverse damage caused to the lungs by the previously incurable disease.

(Q) Is there any research being carried out on human as there are on mice?

If you can skip over the technical jargon you may find this interesting. I do try to keep up with any news.

From the bits and pieces I have read on retinoic acid, the results are very mixed.

It is used in the US of A, but is not licensed here. watch this space tho eh?.

Caroll,

I recognise and acknowledge that you are angry and upset with this country, and I feel sad to hear this, would you be willing to save your energy for your breath. Worry and anger does not help us, it gives us something to do, but does not get us very far....

Enjoy this day
