This, because the drug has been around forever and no one can patent it, no one is willing to put the money up for research.

They've done 2 phases of human trials, but only on very small groups of people. There are patients taking it, and it has been successful, but there have also been patients that showed no improvement at all on it. It isn't really crazy when the alternative to not taking it is probably death(for people that haven't responded to chemo/radiation). Hell, I'd try it.
