Everyone agrees that sooner is better. but also once approved this means results from its use might be better than trial results where a delay in treatment is part and parcel of the trial.

I never thought BPI bound up all endotoxin. This is dead material and it is not reproducing. The body may/will remove some with its own host defenses and while the remaining endotoxin will do damage I thought that it would be reduced relative to the amount that would have occurred in none was bound up and eliminated by BPI.

Someone else can can correct me or put this in more scientific terms.
