Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 To whom it may concern, " Dr. Bloom of The University of Florida virology department and Dr. Cullen of Duke university are teaming up due to their very real prospects of Ribozyme therapy, which would stop the HSV virus from reactivating and replicating and another treatment that would prevent the virus from being able to " hide " from the immune system, allowing it to be killed permanently with anti-virals. Please consider these research programs, they are the most promising of all time, as they do not focus on vaccination as past research programs have and failed. Even just a functional cure for HSV would take a HUGE load off of tax payers, due to the fact that most people obtain their anti-viral medications through public health programs. Please, support these programs now, so that we no longer have to support these expensive, fairly ineffective medications. Millions of people have been suffering physically, mentally, emotionally for too long. HSV is very dangerous, there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that it is the cause of Alzheimer's and it it proven to be the leading cause of infectious blindness in the US. This virus devastates the lives of those affected. Please help put a stop to this ancient disease and let your administration take partial credit. I can't imagine a better way to impress a constituency. Thank you so very much " . --Summer This person couldn't have expressed the importance of funding this research any better than what she/he just did.
