These 15 ex-HIV+ patients are FAR MORE suggestive of a cure (in Young, Healthy, Recently HIV-infected Japanese patients) than a single individual undergoing extremely risky and extremely expensive bone marrow transplant with HIV-resistant donor-matched cells.<br /><br />We are still waiting for the full paper to be published on the follow-up study which is claimed to have cured an additional 24 patients with both natural GcMAF supplementation (from pooled human blood plasma) AND something referred to as "cloned" GcMAF; which is a truncated (shortened) form of GcMAF. The claims of the follow-up study were made public in an early 2009 FOCIS conference abstract.<br /><br />So, we have the teams of Dr. Yamamoto publishing peer-reviewed data on 39 cures, with an natural (and synthetic) intervention of a known pathogenic mechanism, and we can't seem to get anyone to pay attention. And we have a single case of a cure with an extremely risky, extremely expensive and not-readily-available treatment (donor matched cells with two copies of the 32-base pair deletion in the CCR5 gene) hogging all the media attention.<br /><br />Which cure represents more profits for the medical-pharma-industry?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513225558521495800noreply@blogger.com
