Does anyone have any information about Dr. Ron Davis testing Suramin in his experiments? Using his CFS culture on a chip technology?

I know this is hersay and rumor, but I came across an interesting comment on an article on Cort's healthrising.org. See comment #4, made by sebastien from france on June 7, 2017 at 1:42 pm here: https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2...ome-davis-watson-seahorse-nanoneedle/#respond

He states that he heard from someone who attended Dr. Davis's presentation at liME12 conference in London that Dr. Davis has "tried suramin in [cfs] blood on his small test-puce [sic]…Healthy cells in the [cfs] blood continued to function normally with suramin…"

Just want to get this out there and see if anyone knows more about it. I realize it would be very preliminary, but it seems strong enough that Dr. Davis supposedly shared it publicly. This would be great news and provide great hope to us.

Thanks for any information any one has.

Ron has been talking a lot about his diagnostic technology, with reference to his impedance chip I got to ask him if he has tested suramin on it, and he said yes he has, and it appears to make the cells normal.

But, there is always a but, supply of suramin, even for testing is a big issue.

Thanks! I tried to find a thread for the IiME conference but couldn't.
When something is quoted, there is a little up arrow after xxx said. Click on that and it will take you to the original post--in this case the post in the thread about the conference.

No, I know. I did do that. Thanks. That's how I found the thread. I couldn't find it before, by searching, until you posted.
