The group is organising a synthesis and group buy of this. There are concerns regarding carcinogenicity though.
Please do let us know how it goes.
It would be helpful if the people trying it monitored their kidney function with a microalbumin urine test (AKA albumin-creatinine ratio test) in case the drug attacks any BK virus or JC virus hiding in the kidneys, triggering kidney inflammation.
There may also be some neurological start-up symptoms due to any JC virus hiding in the brain. My guess is that these neurological start-up symptoms would be short-lived (1-2 weeks). But that's just a guess.
And of course, it would be helpful if they also monitor immune function with a Complete Blood Count (CBC). A temporary drop in immune cells lasting a few weeks may be expected, especially if there is a hidden parvovirus infection. I would think that a drop in immune cells that lasts for more than 4-8 weeks is cause for immediate concern. Again, that's just an estimate.
And of course, it would also be helpful if they monitor liver function with a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). A temporary elevation in liver enzymes (roughly 2-4 weeks) might be expected if there is any adenovirus hiding in the liver, but a longer-term elevation in liver enzymes is cause for immediate concern.
Patients who have previously had warts might also experience some tingling in the area where they had the warts if the drug attacks the HPV hiding in the skin.
And to minimize any gastrointestinal upset or other toxicity, they might find it better to dose it as 30mg daily (maybe take with whole milk to suspend the lipophilic drug) instead of dosing it 100mg twice a week. It's not clear if the reported gastrointestinal upset/toxicity is due directly to the drug or if it is a side-effect of attacking viruses hiding in the intestines.
I hope this helps. None of the above should be interpreted as medical advice, of course.
