Following two posts from idb Yahoo thread...753 and 754.
Death. have you ever watched the struggle. think about it a moment. Death. can you see it slowly crawling into someone's body you love,like bugs, slowly digesting their days. I don't even care to think about it. and I certainly don't like to talk about it. do you? has it happened to someone close?
I've been watching you people argue, behind your masks, in your own little theater. Having your fun, as you struggle with your own directions. Who knows who you really are? We'll never know. It seems like a playground really, or some sort of fantasy. That's ok. Much good has come out of it too. And I thank all of those that have brought light to the cause. I think all the play does mask the seriousness of what your doing here though. At bottom, you guys are the visionaries of life. It's you guys that are looking into the future, risking your "fortunes," and even your emotions, to help humanity; and while at it, of course, yourselves. Not everyone is doing this. Not everyone could do it. Good for you. All I want to do is add one post that speaks to the seriousness that is definitely a part of why your here. At least there will be a consequence upon it.
We are fighting death. Imagine that. And it can be done. And will be. And soon.
ID Biomedical is doing battle against some of mankind's biggest scourges, taking on death, and it's going to make a difference. We aren't talking about selling hot dogs here. This goes much deeper. We are talking about selling life and selling health. Do you know what this can mean to people? There isn't anything more fundemental than that.
ID Biomedical's Diagnostics: IDB's Velogene platform 'licks' the competition, in ways fundemental to diagnosing disease. In ways not subjective and subject to buyers whim, or fashion; but in ways solid, factual and quantifiable. In ways measured by time, accuracy, and cost.
Its' first test is for the most common hospital acquired infection, MRSA(a SUPERBUG). This test is FDA approved, and being sold. It's no longer a dream. It's a fact and it will soon be affecting people's lives, their health, and families.
Their next test is for VRE and it's soon to go into clinical trials. It's also a common hospital acquired infection.
Also ID Biomedical has developed a test for TB. And has an agreement with Sybron to develop gastrointestinal disease tests. As for the potential market of Velogene. This asset could be worth hundreds of millions alone. It has application in areas like human health, animal health, environmental testing, food testing. In a way, it is a small miricle.
Vaccines: ID Biomedical is also fighting to prevent several diseases. It has a Vaccine for GAS. This causes a host of diseases like 'strep throat', the 'flesh eating disease', and rheumatic fever, ect. This vaccine has recieved approval to be put into human beings. It's results to date have been remarkable, very promising. Imagine the potential to help people here. 15-20 million people are infected with this disease in North America alone. In developing countries it causes as much as 50% of heart disease.
ID Biomedical also has a vaccine for tuberculosis. TB has been declared by the World Health Organization, a global emergency. This vaccine is partnered to THE leading vaccine company world-wide. TB kills about 3,000,000 people a year.
ID Biomedical also has a vaccine for AIDS, and E. coli, in development. Thier AIDS vaccine should soon be re-entering human trials. What is more is that ID Biomedical has the inventors, who are leading researchers, world-wide, working upon the vision. And making definite progress.
