Observations:

Clinical Trials
Here is a quote from David Schubert, Ph.D., professor and head of the Salk Institute's Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory (CNL) about the likelihood of there being clinical trials for natural substances: 

It's Not an Apple a Day After All -- It's Strawberries: Flavonoids Could Represent Two-Fisted Assault On Diabetes and Nervous System Disorders
ScienceDaily (June 27, 2011)
...But he also worries that hoops that must be jumped through to bring a natural product like fisetin, as opposed to a totally synthetic drug, to clinical trials are daunting because it is difficult to protect patents on natural products. "We will never know if a compound like fisetin works in humans until someone is willing to support a clinical trial."...

So, clinical trials on humans of natural products like anatabine, coffee, fisetin, trehalose, curcumin, cinnamon extracts, etc., or even old unpatentable drugs like methylene blue are very unlikely.  Perhaps there should be a forum titled "Natural Substances with Promising Research But Are Unlikely To Ever Undergo a Clinical Trial".  Well, that is kind of what the Yahoo Group Taupathies is for...

There is a standard unwinnable argument used by some to discourage people from even investigating ideas on the fringes of medical research: “Well, there haven’t been ANY clinical trials for _____”  When it comes to products from plants, there probably never will be since there is little financial motivation to do so…
