Re: Progesterone Antagonist Therapy & CMT

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

Yes, there is something very interesting about the Progesterone. As

for Onapristone working on 1C, it is just too early to tell. The

Onapristone studies (including the one I posted yesterday) are still

using animal (rat) models for 1A. First, there would need to be

human trials for persons with 1A, and depending how those go,

scientists could then examine Onapristone for 1C and possibly other

types of CMT 1.

As for the Vitamin C, again, all we have is research showing

Ascorbic Acid completely stopped CMT 1A in mouse models but

remember, it took 30 generations of mice to get this result. There

are human trials of " C " for 1A going on in several European

countries now, and the USA is also gearing up for studies. These

research projects each will be about 2-3 years, and then hopefully

we'll have some good news.

As for " C " working on 1C, research has not been done yet, so after

the 1A trials, perhaps scientists will conduct research on 1C and

Ascorbic Acid.
