Anyone try Deferiprone?

Ive been looking into chelators as anti infectives and Deferiprone really interests me. It takes iron out of your cells and out of your body, so it actually some killing effects on intracellular and extracelluar parasites, bacteria, and even viruses. Its being studied for increased nerve healing (stealing iron from scar tissue around injured nerves) and is even being studied for an anti HIV effect.

I would love to try this, but have no idea how to get a hold of it. It seems mostly used with people who have a genetic condition that causes their bodies fill up with excess iron, and it constantly has to be removed.

Any suggestions on how I can try this?

Has anyone here tried it?
