A federal judge found in 2010 that there is no scientifically reliable evidence that Neurontin/gabapentin works for neuropathic pain. What research is Shearing relying upon??

Search google for "snake oil" and Neurontin. The case was Kaiser Foundation Health Plan v. Pfizer, Inc., and a federal jury awarded a $142 million RICO verdict against Pfizer in that case. The judge found there was no scientifcally reliable evidence under a second law...

a little awkward and very little useful information on the drug

alittle uncomfortable, but informative... like a commercial on our local network channel 3 or something... thanks Dr Shearing!
