      Very interesting (I didn't quote your whole message as it was rather 
lengthy ..... Do you know where they are testing this at??  This sounds 
like an interesting thing to look into.

      Buddy takes 20mg of Baclofen 2 times a day ---- more if the spazms 
get worse at times .... This sounds like something we might look into.
