Interesting news. As mentioned, it is important to find psc patients to participate in clinical trials. That is the only way cure may become available.

I have been using vsl#3 for colitis already. Curcumin is also interesting.  
Oca seems really promising for some liver diseases, time and trials will show how it works in psc.

A very good post Ted. I too have been using VSL#3 after it was recommended by my gastro doc for UC. I have used it more to support other meds rather than solely. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the trial with respect to the effect on PSC.

Very interesting - already using tumeric in the morning smoothies, so happy to see it's in a clinical trial!
