Bob Miller on Hunger Strike
Please support my husband, Robert Miller, in his hunger strike to get FDA approval for Ampligen. Bob and I ask that other patients do Not follow this action. We need you to be our voices and advocates with the agencies and your Congress-people.
From Robert:
Yesterday January 29th, I began a hunger strike seeking FDA approval of Ampligen, the only medication in FDA-approved clinical trials for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (ME/CFS).
The FDA Advisory Committee voted Ampligen is safe given the serious nature of CFS and the critical unmet need of patients.
Please support access to Ampligen for ALL ME/CFS PATIENTS by sending a note like the one below to the Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Howard Koh, FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg, and FDA CDER Director Dr. Janet Woodcock and Deputy Director Dr. Sandra Kweder.
You can just copy and paste the emails below, there is also a Template to use as a guide.
Please also email or call your Congressional Representatives and Senators (look them up Here:Just click on your state, http://www.contactingthecongress.org/) and ask them to investigate why the FDA refuses to approve the ONLY medication for CFS despite safe testing for 20 years. This is a health crisis!

Subject: CFS Patient starts hunger strike for FDA approval of Ampligen
“Long-time ME/CFS patient Robert Miller from Reno, Nevada began a hunger strike in advance of the FDA’s Feb. 2nd, deadline to decide on Ampligen, the ONLY medication in clinical trials for my illness. I support Mr. Miller because my life has been stolen by ME/CFS and I need real treatment options. We have waited 20 years, and we can’t wait any longer. The FDA Advisory Committee voted Ampligen is safe enough to market because CFS is so serious and there are NO medications to treat patients. Please don’t let the FDA reject the only medication CFS patients can hope for any time soon.”
