Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Ok, while I'm on the subject of things that I don't really understand.. In Dr Nase's book, he talks about how Substance P may play an important role in cea. He mentions a doctor who has had success in treating vascular cea using the drug Zofran. When I first got this book months ago I went through all the medicines listed in it with my dad and asked him which ones were safe to take, and he told me Zofran was used for chemotherapy or cancer or something and had alot of possible side effects. Anyway, Dr Nase mentions a selective substance P blocker MK-869 " currently undergoing extensive testing in human clinical trials " that " shows great promise " . Well, now apparantly the studies have been done. Well, in the following article I found, it talks about substance P's role in pain perception. The article talks about MK-869 which has been tested, and found to be a useful antidepressant and antianxiety medication. The article mentions that MK-869 has a very low incidence of side effects. So, the way I understand it (please Nobody misconstrue this as a fact)... MK-869 is a pain-relieving, flush-reducing, antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication with minimal side effects that no doctors anywhere are using to treat cea. Can somebody please explain to me where exactly I got mixed up? This doesn't sound right..
