I am one of those arrogant medical professionals who helped to develop treatments for diseases and vaccines and who also happens to have MS.
If you are so smart. You dedicate your life to the development of cures and treatments, and then get back to me.

Avastin is also a drug that the FDA will not approve for wet macular degeneration—a disease which will eventually cause vision loss and which I happen to have. It can’t cure it, but can stop or slow down the progression of the disease. It’s cost would be $150-$200 per injection vs the FDA “approved” drug Lucentis which is about $2000/inj. Who’s pocket is the money getting into? Oh—one needs to have those injections frequently by the way.
Who do you believe, lawyer and activist, Fran Visco or Dr. John Durant?

DR. JOHN DURANT: It’s way premature to say this strategy doesn’t work. I think the strategy will continue to be of interest as a means of improving survival.
