Myelin Sheath Repair

This isn't technically a B12 question but since a lot of us have peripheral neuropathy I thought I'd post it here. Has anyone read about a newly discovered use for an old antihistamine, clemastine? They say it can repair the myelin sheath for MS patients. Here is a blurb I read: "Now, researchers from the University of California San Francisco have identified an over-the-counter antihistamine called clemastine that can reverse damage to the myelin sheath and, what’s more, they’ve identified a biomarker that can measure the drug’s effectiveness."

Does anyone know if this might have an application for peripheral neuropathy?

Sounds promising, even if it has a sedating effect, which may not always be desirable.

Thanks for sharing. A friend of mine has MS, I instantly googled it and sent him a bunch of links.
