>> several researchers and companies finally got NIH funding this year. <<
During the Bush regime much of the NIH money was siphoned off for things like anthrax vaccines, which is really just a way of hiding military spending. The chances of receiving a medical grant were less than 10% back then. The Obama and the Democrats are trying to restore the NIH's budget. Looks like it's starting to work.
Good luck with things. I read up on it and it doesn't sound like there are any miracle cures around the corner. On the other hand, there is a miracle cure for my spinal cord injury around the corner. Unfortunately politics invades everything and it will take twice as long as it should to get this research funded. Just take it day by day, that's all you can do...
