It looks very promising indeed. Here's hoping the US's drug companies don't block its use here just because they didn't find it first. And also here's hoping those politicians who are in the pockets of the big drug companies don't try to prevent it from being used legally here.

Hot damn! I really hope it works. Screw the FDA, people will just go over the borders if necessary to get treatment. I heard about a guy with ALS going to china to get some novel new therapy for that on NPR today. Sounded like a hell of a long shot, but crap, when your only alternative is a long, painful death, it might be worth it.

Sad part is, I had several friends and acquiantances die of AIDS in the last 15 years. I only wish they hadn't been such early casualties. If they had gotten sick just a few years later they might still be alive. :(
