Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Spokane, Washington " A local laboratory is teaming up with a bio-pharmaceutical company to create a drug that could boost a person's immune system against the avian flu. " Hollister-Stier laboratories and the partner company are currently in the early stages of drug production. Hollister-Stier would manufacture the drug, Ampligen, pending FDA approval. " Ampligen is originally designed to relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, but recent research indicates pairing it with Tamiflu makes a more effective defense against avian flu. Tamiflu is the only known anti-virul drug proven to stop avian flu.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I wasn't going to mention this about Tamiflu- but It'll be in the news I guess at some point: The Asians have been using Tamiflu on their animals for a several years, and the latest report I read was that one of the avain strains of virus was 70% resistant to Tamiflu... so people stock piling it for future use should think again. It's effectiveness is already in question, and the virus isn't even finished mutating. I think the resistance part of the equation is why the big pharma's " pairing it " with another substance. There's just so much they don't tell us.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Actually this news has been around for a while. If you are worried, get glycirrhizin (my spelling is surely off) which effectively inhibits SARS> Or this company has a product: Web site: http://www.leespharm.com/http://www.prbpharmaceuticals.com/ > > > > Spokane, Washington > > > > " A local laboratory is teaming up with a bio-pharmaceutical company > to > > create a drug that could boost a person's immune system against the > > avian flu. > > > > " Hollister-Stier laboratories and the partner company are currently > in > > the early stages of drug production.
