There is still hope

By · Saturday, February 17th, 2007

One of our contributors sent a piece of good news for those of us who are very attached to our elbow bending lifestyles. Apparently a drug has been discovered which, if it fulfils its promise, can cure any damge to the liver even if we keep drinking!

The drug, which is still undergoing clinical trials, may also be useful for those who suffer from other complaints such as hepatitis C and may ease the shortage in donated livers for transplants. Apparently, before the discovery of this drug, even if you stopped drinking the damage to your liver is permanent and will not heal so there is very little gained just by cutting down by a few pints or even total abstinence. Now you can have your cake and eat it too. This may be the best news ever for some of our readers.

I’ll drink to that. Click the link below to see the details.
