The way I understand it, we now have a serious medical situation with the flu which is approaching epidemic proportions where hospitals are filled to capacity in some states and where emergency rooms are treating twice as many people on a daily bases as they normally do. In addition, I have heard, but do not really know, that there is a problem with the supply of medication. I also understand that not all the sickness is due to the virus, some of it is bacterially related. However, If the experts and directors at the FDA are paying attention and are aware of there own documentation they should recognize that an investigator within the FDA, Christopher Tseng, Phd, back in 1989 found Reticulose to be safe and effective against Influenza A.** Thus, it certainly seems reasonable to me that allowing Reticulose to be administered under an emergency situation could benefit the immune systems of those afflicted with the Influenza A virus, or possible other strains of the virus. Now a lot of you would say that this is a mute point because Reticulose is not FDA approved . But in the case of an approaching epidemic the FDA could take emergency action to try to stem the epidemic by allowing the temporary use of Reticulose. Of cause, I don't really expect this to happen. But, at least there is someone who recognizes a possible solution that can help in relieving a potentially nasty health situation. I suppose that some of you might say that I am making an open suggestion to the FDA to allow the use of Reticulose to stem the flu and that I am doing this in light of a conflict of interest. Well, I suppose I am. But it is the FDA's fault not to have grandfathered in Reticulose back in 1962 that has fostered this conflict of interest. If they had done so, maybe illnesses due to virus would not be as prevalent as they are today let alone the increases in other maladies we are experiencing now a days due to weakened immune systems. Yep, as I have said before, ADVR would not exist today if it weren't because of the actions by the FDA back in '62 and I would not have a financial conflict of interest not a medical conflict of interest because I could not get some Reticulose for the flu I had over the past few weeks. Thanks for the misery, Thank you FDA, For the coughing fits, and the running shits. Oh thank you so much. ** NIH report ARB No. 89-048 of 12 October 1989, contains the results of the successful invitro testing of Reticulose against Influenza A. It was supposedly tested under compound ID #170011 and is understood to be presently stored in Bin No. 767E.
