    There’s a pill that just finished phase 1 trials that can cure osteoarthritis.

    Well, it’s a treatment that allows joint cartilage to regrow and heal properly.

    It also reverses age related muscle loss.

    Now, these things can come back, but they need to degrade naturally again. Probably. We don’t know how fast the degradation will set in once the suppression of the gerozyme is removed.

    If you want to learn more, look up 15-PGDH inhibitors. I’d link to the Stanford study, but that’s a bit hard from my phone.

    As someone who has arthritic knees, I’ve been following the various clinical trials closely.
