Dr. Jerry Murray privately sent me the following information which really fills in gaps, and he gave me permission to carry it here.
Start note from Dr. Jerry Murray:
Hey Sukie,
There is an article on PEG in the Dec
Journal of Neurotrauma. The Purdue group
worked with guinea pigs first. With the spinal cord
cut, they injected PEG over it and 90% healed their
spinal cords. In the dog study 68% of the severe disc
injury dogs recovered to the point of walking compared to
just 25% of the control control. Looks like a great product
that may help alot of dogs with disc injuries and hopefully
useful for people too!
Jerry
