Dr. Jerry: Did you seen the post on November 8 with regard to VEGF? How serious a threat is this to VASO? If it successful, how soon do you think it would be available. Will VASO still be an effective alternative treatment, perhaps with less risk and fewer side effects? Kindest regards, Don Walster

Dr. Jerry, have you looked at this VEGF (VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL CELL GROWTH FACTOR) research? I'm way over my head here. But from a scan of medical abstracts it looks like VEGF (and anti-VEGF) research has largely been directed at controlling the growth of cancer cells. But some of the recent work has turned to growing veins around block cardiac arteries. This seems to me to be VASO's domain. Assuming the VEGF therapy is approved (which could be a while as it appears they are still using mice & pigs), which would patients (& insurance companies) be more likely to want -- a pill or being cuffed into a machine for many sessions? That of course, does not consider relative costs differences between the two therapies, which might be huge! I'm a (very) long term holder of VASO and now that my faith in the company and product appears finally to be getting fulfilled, along comes this VEGF news. I'm concerned. No one else on this thread seems to be. What do you think? Thanks, Ron For examples, see: oup.co.uk oac.hsc.uth.tmc.edu bioscience.org (Or do a hotbot search on VEGF to find many more)
