As I have said many times before I doubt if ANY drug is going to pull you out of end stage sepsis. It just ain't gonna happen in our lifetime in my opinion. Once vessels are blown up and flesh is dissolving, well good luck in magically reversing it. Best course is decisive and quick amputation and hope for the best. BUT if you want to talk about interrupting early part of the cascade, killing gram neg bugs and supercharging conventional antibiotics, then Neuprex is the real thing in my opinion. Jack Castello says close to mortality requirement so we will see how close is close.

Robert S, show me the completed phase III on all the drugs you and StockDoc mentioned and I will buy the correspondent stock ipso facto. Even if any of then are proven effective (long way) they will be 2ry adjuvants (if at all) to Bpi. Bpi has practically no side effect. Antithrombin III will lead to massive bleeding the toxic dose is to near the effective dose. Protein C, and activated protein C could lead to massive hypercoagulation (the opposite of AIII) same problem of effective dose to near the toxic dose. Bpi is a clean molecule (not a scientific term but it does sound neat). Tpa has probably a better chance (GNE).

RobertS, study shows coffee is good for you: *** Study: Caffeine may be good for you LOS ANGELES (AP) - Caffeine is not addictive for most people, a new study concludes, and has little effect on human health. No, really. According to a much-promoted French study released Monday during the American Chemical Society's annual meeting, drinking up to three cups of coffee a day has no effect on the part of the brain responsible for addiction. And it may actually be good for you. If you're a rat. After spending two years with 30 rodents, researcher Astrid Nehlig of the French National Health Medical Research Institute found moderate consumption increases energy and renders addiction "quite unlikely."
