By the time FDA gets through studying for approval it most of the hopeful in this country will be dead.

Sorry, it is just that way.

After they approve it, if they approve it, the price will stratospheric because of all the hoops the providers must jump through for approval trials.

Medicine in this country is a business racket that makes the military industrial complex look like chrior boys. It is not a humanitarian enterprise. It is just business for extreme profit that preys on the emotions of people who are just clinging to life.

The approval process may not be as onerous as you’re expecting since this uses known medical techniques that have been used extensively for treating leukemia.

You are partly right. The best hospitals tend to be affiliated with churches or universities and are non-profit.

Absolutely correct.

This is a pretty radical treatment, and I don’t think it does anything in the way of helping the myelin that’s already gone come back.

You are super-vulnerable during the immune-kill phase. They destroy the immune system and they restore it using bone marrow as the ‘sourdough’ if you will.

This will only be available to people that have never been exposed to any other type of resident virus like herpes or other disease that are kept dormant by the immune system.

Don’t get me wrong, this is great news, but they use software terms to describe the process when demolition and reconstruction are more appropriate metaphors.

True and sad.
