Splinterboy, I TOTALLY agree! I mean sometimes you just get to a point where you will try ANYTHING to get better (that's certainly where I'm at right now!!!). If I could volunteer to be a guinea pig for this I'd be first in line!

yes this is a lot better than botox 'dont know why it has not been approved yot 'must be somthing wh it has not been approved

Anyone have any doctors in the family or medical community that can find out more about this??please do let us know.

I talked to both my CRS doctors about this, and both was unaware of this treatment. But I have read a paper talking about it recently. Will try and dig it out...

Someone could try contacting the lead researcher of the study down in Chile to see if there has been any progress there in terms of routinely treating patients with this toxin and what the outcomes have been.

Anyone on this board from chile? Do they speak english over there?

Hello,
I found their hospital website, though, not found any particular email contact of any of doctors.

I wrote following email.
"Hello,
We are looking and would like to get in contact with following doctors: Garrido R, Lagos N, Lagos M, Rodrнguez-Navarro AJ, Garcia C, Truan D, Henriquez A.
The concern is about study published in 2007 "Treatment of chronic anal fissure by gonyautoxin."
There is certain community suffering from Anal Fissures and looking for treatment. Would like to get in touch with you and seek for some more information regarding gonyautoxin you have used.
Thanks!
"

I really hope you get a reply!
The study results look fantastic..... It would be amazing if this was pursued and used in the treatment of fissures.
OMb

I got my fingers crossed. I hope and pray to GOD that somehow this study is still alive and hopefully available.

Does anyone here actually know what Ganyautoxin is..? I don't. I'm skeptic by nature and am not sure about how reliable those studies are either.
