In the UK HIV patients have clinics and treatments we can only dream about. As I said earlier this is a humanitarian and human rights issue that no one is interested in.
Could you please give me some indication that you have at least read my message and understand my feelings please?
Many thanks for continuing this dialogue.
To main point of view, the two main differences between AIDS and FCS is with AIDS and no treatments you eventually die, but there are well studied treatments you can have an almost normal life, instead with CFS there are no CFS and you can't have a normal life. So, an HIV+ patient can have the luxury to use only well studied treatments (even provided by the healthcare system), instead a CFS patient must try experimentally, alternative or difficult-to-find treatments.
Could you elaborate more on the Todd Rider discussion, because I don't understand the Italian language. For information to the forum members here: Todd Rider is the scientist who seems to have created a broad-spectrum antiviral, also called DRACO. I've heard some rumours and I wonder if your forum is discussing this ?
Take care.
OS.
Before I named Gilead, Bionor, Todd Rider and Ensoli, but they are four examples completely differents each other.
1) The Gilead, a pharmaceutical colossus, is trying to make money selling the expensive Truvada to sieronegative people as preventive treatment (for someone it is "a 10.000 dollars/year condom", for other is the beginning of an health disaster, because this decision will promote cross-resistent HIV strains, and Truvada is a key drug for HIV prophylaxis). Criminal behaviour.
2) Bionor is a pharmaceutical industry which promises, promises, promises, for years and years. At least its last two experimental HIV vaccines , the Vacc-4x and Vacc-C5, are able to do something, but much less than announced ("WE FIND THE VACCINE AGAINST HIV"). No credibility.
3) Drs. Barbara Ensoli is a Italian researcher who is experimenting the TAT, a proteine against HIV, from the 90'. Results from first phase of studies on humans in 2001 showed that this cure it is not so much efficacy, but she is making and making new studies, spending another 37 millions of euros. Another study is beginning now. Waste of money.
4) The Draco of Todd Rider is drug with a innovative approach. Usually these kind of approaches needs lots of years before to begin to be used on common patients (like staminals) or, more fequentely, they result a fake or a complete faliture. For sure, nothing is expected in a few years. To my opinion, it was presented with such great emphasis ("the cure against all viruses") that it will end with similar great delusion. Visionary.
