I guess I am more optimistic as I have just had my own medical miracle - going from being severely depressed and barely able to walk with RA/Lupus three months ago to an almost normal riding lesson this morning. I am very lucky. My miracle drug is an anti-malerial - someone discovered that it just happened to work for inflammation/auto-immune disorders.

Future breakthroughs are encouraging from the standpoint of recurrence: they would be among the first to get a crack at the therapy in a phase I or II trial, or in a special exemption for non-trial use of our highly theoretical breakthrough therapy.

Another horrid disease - Altzheimer's - is better understood today than it was a year ago. But this doesn't help my father-in-law who is suffering from it right now.

But, yes, I do think you are wrong and you will see a breakthrough for OC in your lifetime.
