To Rooster Rick: Dr. Chia, New Hepatitis C Drug, Rifampin

[Guest guest]

Rick,

Thanks for responding to my thread re: Dr. Chia back in June:

/message/132918

You said then that you hoped to find out more about Hepatitis C drug under

development that Dr. Chia hopes to use during your August appointment with him.

I was wondering what you were able to find out about it then.

What is the name of this drug and any idea when it'll be FDA approved? Do you

know anything else about it or how it works? Might Dr. Chia be able to use it

prior to approval on a " compassionate use " basis as he did with Pleconaril?

Also, upcoming IACFS/ME conference schedule contains: " Rifampin Augments the

Effects of Oxymatrine/Equilibrant In Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/CFS

- K. Chia, M.D. " Know anything about the Rifampin, how he uses it, what it

does, what dose he uses, or the results he's getting with it?

My biopsy tested + at Chia's lab and I'm considering seeing him. Any info would

be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
