I read about this too. (See http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070305202704.htm)
So I located the original research article and read it (several times - as it isn't in my field so it took me awhile to understand). I found a source of triptolide from China. Of course, there is no guarantee of its purity unless I could test it myself. To take 1/2 as much per weight as the researchers gave mice would cost me, if memory serves, about $300 to $400 per month. That is a lot to spend on an unproven aid. And the risk is not zero: the plant, thunder god vine, is also known as the plant of the 7 deaths as it can kill you in several different ways. So, like you, I decided to wait until there is more research. I haven't heard of any yet, though.
