Scott, I want to make something clear: It is not my intention to make the FDA, SEC, or any other regulatory agency look bad! My opinion, and that is all it is----it is just my opinion; But, it appears that they have made their own self look bad!
I believe that some form of regulatory responsibility is necessary and must be had. But, never to the power that the FDA has right now! I don't think that I am in the miniority on this opinion!
Now look---I am not a real smart guy! I don't understand everything that I read, or hear. I am not really educated. In fact---I am pretty darned dumb and stupid. I step into sh-- every day, and come right back for more. It is a learning experience for me!
However, I have never understood why the FDA stepped in and stopped a test in Mercy Hospital, in Miami, using Reticulose on about 6 Aids patients. This was done after about 4 days into the tests. This test appeared to fall under the compassionate treatment program, as directed by President Clinton! These patients with Aids, apparently were dying and Reticulose possibly could have been effective in their their treatment! What harm could have come from that? This happened in early 1996. These FDA fellows wanted proof or test results of its safety. WOW!
Now, a fellow like me---I wonder---How in the name of goodness can one furnish proof, when the same agency that wanted it, wouldn't let them test it in the USA in the first place? That was in the past!
Now, I think it will be done. Dr H will get it done! Thank God Almighty! Millions of lives can be saved!
I talked to a well known Doctor, in New York City, back in December 1996, about the 1st Phase of the Barbados tests. He said the results that they publicly reported were excellent, but not as good as was expected. I understand that Phase 2 will be much better.
Another doctor, in NYC, told me that a large hospital, in NYC, that treats a lot of Aids patients was very impressed with the phase 1 report. According to her, Reticulose did something that no other known drug for the treatment of Aids did. Acording to her that was: "It appears to increase the amount of hemoglobin in the bloodstream"!
Advanced Viral has submitted a lot of "facts" to the FDA, over the past 10 to 15 years. They had an IND, from the FDA, but allowed it to expire.
I don't know where it will all end. I can only pray that it is approved for testing in the USA and abroad, and soon!
Thanks,
Jake |
