My, guess, oracle? These and other things are perhaps not being tried because they might work a little "too" well, "too" soon, thus putting a lot of shrinks out of business. Especially if they could be bought OTC, which, with PEA can't be done by just anyone (if it can be done at all), because as I pointed out, some guy has patented that (natuarally, he was a shrink, not just a regular doc, I think I recall...Figures!). He didn't patent PEA itself, just it's APPLICATION as an AD. You don't necesarily have to invent a medicine or substance to make $, just think of a new USE for it, and patent it. This will make said use of PEA with cyclodextrin more difficult. Negotiations. Delays. Royalties. The FDA will probably have to approve it, wheras they probably WOULDN'T have had to if it were not patented, since it's naturally found in food...but I'm not sure about that. Legal question.
