I just read the article, thanks for posting it coopsie! They are saying that in studies, it was as effective as the expensive antivirals!! I was aghast and perplexed when I read that it’s manufactured by our old friend SmithKline who also make all of the popular antivirals. They are quite blunt about the reason they don’t market this as a herpes drug – the patent ran out. So, they would have to compete with generic brands and therefore make less money than Famvir or Valacyclovir. I’d like to quote a SmithKline representative when asked about the lack of promotion of Tagamet as a herpes drug “……..there’s nothing to gain from it.”

If all HSV+ people in the world could read that, would that enrage us (as a group) enough to boycott this monster? If not, then I’m afraid we deserve to live with this for our whole lives. All companies make their money from us – the consumer, we only have ourselves to blame. Everything in this world, sadly, comes down to one thing – money. Multinational corporations support the gov’t who make the laws. These laws dictate what medical schools can and can’t teach to students. Pharmaceuticals wouldn’t last long if doctors and researchers were allowed to use and research such things as the ozone cure. So, if the regulations made it legal to do so, the gov’t would lose the financial support. Why would any company support a gov’t that didn’t look after it’s interests? Can’t you see what we’re supporting when we buy these drugs? We are keeping ourselves down, allowing them to enslave us. How ironic it is: Profit from an inferior herpes drug being used to influence regulations to keep a real cure from being released.

Think about it, research it – you’ll see.

Thanks again for pointing that out.
