I'm not sure how many of you have been following the progress of Denise Faustman's research but there are some intersting points to note. (Chris, you are right.)
1. The potential "cure" involves a drug (BCG) that is routinely given to infants and children all over the world to vaccinate them against tuberculosis. It is cheap and approved and readily available right now.
2. Because of # 1, there is very little money to be made if this works. Drug companies are not interested and have said so.
3. The medical establishment and drug company establishment have already made some pretty deplorable personal attacks.
Trying to block Denise Faustman's Research? I hope we are allowed to link to another forum, because this is an excellent synopsis.
4.In spite of the fact that the MGH Clinical Trials are in their beginning stages, they will go more quickly because of #1. If even a few autoimmune responses are removed, it will be a success. Hopefully our weird Killer T cells will also be eliminated (they are the target in this study.) There is reason for hope on this one.

Just for reference, this is the first time in 49 years I've felt this way.
