Re: A gentle reminder/immune modulators

[Guest guest]

The immune modulators do exist. They are compounds that were

discovered in labs years ago. That makes it difficult for a pharma

company to obtain any patent rights to protect their investment.

It costs about $1 billion to bring a drug to market today. That

includes a Phase 1 trial to check for safety in human beings, Phase

2 to see if it actually effective at treating a problem or disease,

Phase 3 which expands the number of patients in the trial to a wide

population. This all has to be done in kids in order for it to

become an approved treatment for immune regulation or CFS.

Dr Goldberg and Dr Galpin continue to work very hard to find the

right type of funding/company to take this on.
