After reading this article, I began wondering just how long before it is available to the general public. Sounds as if cancer patients, as well as other people with chronic pain should be allowed access to this drug treatment. It's only taken 43 years so far for scientists and doctors to actually test this chemical and realize that hey, this could benefit so many people who are truly suffering pain. It would be great if, for once, the FDA would hustle and get Resininferatoxin approved and made available to people how truly need pain relief!
