I didn't save mr. devor's original posting, but my recollection of it doesn't quite match vernD's interpretation Dr iacono reports his results in a letter in The Lancet. of 105 patients, with an average followup of 9.2 months, he says only 6 showed regression. (in the letter he doesn't say how many improved in the first place though, he just gives an average of the amount of improvement) Dr. Laitinen has a full paper with great results. --- Seth L.
