"Wax on, wax off..."
Scientists claim that they have found a nerve cell protein that acts as the "on/off switch" for chronic pain. If their research is accurate this could be an incredibly significant breakthrough for chronic pain sufferers. The cynic in me cannot help but wonder who will buy out the rights to this information; Big Pharma who will sit on this threat to their billion dollar earning pain medications or the government who may wish to use the "on" feature for terrorist interrogations. Hmmmm.....I wonder what odds Vegas would put on this?
In all seriousness though I hope that this will lead to effective pain relief in the future.
