It's interesting that just putting M13 in the nasal passages of the control group of mice "showed very nice recovery of their cognitive function" - if I read the article correctly.

I wonder if someone could try that in humans in some less FDA obsessed country given that "M13, the phage was originally isolated from sewage in Germany 50 years ago" and so is presumably not that hard to come by.

My dad has Parkinsons like deterioration at the moment and it would be nice to have some recovery of cognitive function now rather than waiting for the treatment to be officially approved after he's been dead for a decade or two.
