Unfortunately, from my review of the information which you sent, there are no peer-reviewed *clinical* articles (other than those sponsored by the manufacturer) listing controlled studies of this substance in patients with *real* disease. In the latter portion of the long posting, you list some articles from peer-reviewed journals, but these are mostly basic science journals dealing with cell biology and chemistry which, while interesting, and even perhaps of some value, do not address the *clinical* aspects of the treatment of neurological diseases. Before a drug can be sold (properly) for the treatment of disease, there has no be proof of safety and effectiveness, and if medical practitioners such as myself (I am also an academic) have never heard of the drug, I wonder why this is the state of affairs. Is Enada a drug? If it is, it is being sold illegally in the USA if it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. If it is not a drug, then what is it? Sorry, I still don't "buy" it.
