Absolutely This is a FACT!! NOT RANTING!!
I did not know until I found this forum. I learn a lot more here than from my doctors!

I can understand where is veteran coming from, his frustrations and disappointments of the US medical care. Even though I have only been living in the US for 2 yrs, I can already feel the "back-wardness" and lack of knowledge from GPs to gastroenterologists, compared to back in my country in Asia. That is why everytime I do a set of blood work, I always email back to my dr in Asia to get his opinion. I feel safer.
Now that we know Replicor has a cure, that is indeed very good news for us. But to say that they are withholding this cure for the sake of more profits, I cannot comment as I have no knowledge and proof. But I feel its good we follow up with them to give them a little more pressure, but we should not demand that they must release the drug in a super fast time like 1 yr. I all want the drug to be safe for everyone. And I think that is what Replicor is doing now - they are working on the drug development to cure EVERYONE, every type of virus/mutant hbv that different people will have. They cannot be slipshod on this as what if someone dies due to the drug? They have to be very certain its a 100% ready to be launched in the market. This protects themselves, as well as us. So meanwhile, let's be patient and see how the progress is moving. By next year we should hear some new updates from them. But if the update is the same as this year , or even last, then we all need to do more to pressure them. This is just my humble opinion.

" It can be done, yes. But it is unsafe"
It is not absurd and is very doable if they are serious about eradicating HBV. Especially since those drugs happen to be used for other diseases. Zadaxin for example is none toxic. Can be added to any antiviral.
As for banging on drug companies doors, well there is no need for that. The current laws that they have lobbied protect them.. We can use the power of internet and wake people up by making them aware of what is actually taking place.
And the more of us stand up, the louder the voice would be. You can relax btw and watch it form the side lines if it is getting you to nervous.
But some of us want some real answers as to why the drug that suppresses HBV surface antigen in 7-12 days is not being widely studied.

I have yet to read one forum post where you don't go on a tangent about the government or drug companies. It is getting really old. You need to spend more time outside, maybe go knock on the drug companies door in person and tell them all of your ranting. I'm sure they will approve these drugs ASAP if they have to listen to your endless drivel.
1 year clinical trials stage 1-3 is absurd, regardless of whether it is HBV, HCV, HIV, HPV, EBV, HHV, etc. That is like asking the airlines to fly 747s from China to US in 10 hours. It can be done, yes. But it is unsafe.
" I gave 10 ml of blood and got my HBsAg no problem"
Show the contract where it states in writing that there is only 10ML of we have to give. To get the test on the continuous bases. If they have changed their policy please confirm that. I offered 12 SSD tubes every time plus I pay money, simply because 700ml is a lot to give every time. They said no..
btw.. I am not ranting on this board, I am exposing facts as they are, and rotten experiences I have had. Similar things you can read in the news papers quite ofter these days, about the level of corruption going on in the medical field these days. And that is why we have no cures for many diseases.
As for petitioning companies I constantly say over and over here lets all keep writing to Replicor and others. And have them come to this forum.. many of us have e-mailed them too. Do you see anybody from these companies come here to this forum and try to work out somethings with the people? There is a lot of us. And people are trying desperate things, just read these threads more carefully.
how is that can be called ranting? We are frustrated. No FibroScan, no surface antigen quant test, no combo therapies, no zadaxin. You call this normal for America?
GS9620 (Imiquimod) is not an unknown drug dude! :) It is used for cancer in higher doses, and as a cream called Aldara.. Also used to treat HPV, they know the sides.. No company especially as big as Gilead would go into clinical trials if there were major safety concerns.
Stef2011 here takes it in a much higher doses and without making a big deal. I guess he is the real researcher on here. The guy stopped his cirrhosis. How many doctors say they did that?
HBV better treatments regiments are here I listed them, the problem is finding doctors that are willing or even care to make the difference and at least work with those that are willing to be pioneers in taking these treatments. So we can all share here, on these forums and spread the knowledge.
With regard to clinical trials for better meds for such a deadly virus as HBV yes the process CANNOT take 5 years.. Stages 1-3 maximum can be stretched out over the course of 1 year.. that is max.
