Exhibit 5.1

March 24, 2006

GelStat Corporation
1650 West 82nd Street, Suite 1200
Bloomington, Minnesota 55431

Re:   175,000  Shares of Common  Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  and  related
      rights  to  purchase  Common  Stock  issued  pursuant  to  the  Consulting
      Agreement (the "Agreement")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as legal counsel to GelStat Corporation,  a Minnesota corporation
(the "Company") in connection with the proposed issuance of the Common Stock and
related  Common Stock  referred to above  (collectively,  the  "Shares"),  to be
issued  pursuant to the  Agreement.  The Shares are the subject of the Company's
Registration  Statement  on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement")  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  to which  this
opinion, with our consent, is attached as an exhibit.

We have examined all records,  instruments,  and documents  which we have deemed
necessary  to  examine  for  the  purposes  of  this   opinion,   including  the
registration statements on Form S-8, as amended, relating to the predecessors to
the Agreement previously filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act.

Based upon the foregoing and upon our general  familiarity  with the Company and
its properties and affairs, we are of the opinion that:

1)    The Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under the
      laws of the State of Minnesota and is legally  qualified and authorized to
      operate and conduct business in the State of Minnesota.

2)    When, as and if the Registration  Statement becomes effective  pursuant to
      the  provisions of the Securities Act and the Shares have been duly issued
      and delivered, and the consideration for the Shares has been duly received
      by the  Company,  all in the  manner  contemplated  by  said  Registration
      Statement, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable
      shares of stock and rights to purchase shares of stock of the Company.

We hereby  consent to the  incorporation  of this opinion into the  Registration
Statement.

Respectfully submitted,

MESSERLI & KRAMER
A Professional Association
