Evidently someone heard part of a broadcast on the radio this week, and
Harvey made some remarks about the FDA approving a drug that stimulates
liver regeneration. I'm thinking he heard a fairy tale, because there's
nothing on the Web about any such drug. On the outside chance it isn't a
fairy tale, has anyone here heard/read about it?

Perhaps Mr. Harvey (who IS that?) was thinking of this:

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/52735.php

I do not have a cirrohtic liver (yet) and I don't drink booze of any kind,
but the article talks about fibrosis. I Googled
"liver sulphasalazine" and I got a number of hits. The above link was
first. I asked about Sulphasalazine last September when I was in seeing my
PCP. He didn't dismiss the idea of prescribing it eventually, but that
would not have fit in with his ethic of cross-prescribing when not
necessary. Or something like that.
