Have the FDA create and post on the web a list of compassionate use approaches that are believed to have possible merit.

What's truly good doesn't usually get publicity because the people doing the research are afraid something will interfere with its approval, but only things that don't work get publicity. But people think the publicity means something because theydon't understand the way medical research works now, and has worked over the past 60 to 70 years. Not like it used to be. Nothing truly new can ever be tried. Everything being tried has been worked on for 20- 30 or more years. If people doing research get an idea that maybe if they modified a treatment somewhat it would work better/have less side
effects, they can't change it. Still, there may be any number of good treatments backlogged. If the FDA gave publicity to people who did not dare make publicity themselves, many people could be helped.
