Did anyone read the letter from the Faustman lab (link below)? In the fourth paragraph it says they are looking to fund a project this year to screen for...
Yes I did read that, and was very happy to see it! I have two other autoimmune diseases, and personally I am glad that they are attempting to expand the...
Yes, but what does it mean they are screening for generic drugs for autoimmune diseases? Does anyone have clarification on this statement? Thanks. ... ...
Anyone with "inside" information here? What is planned for 2007? They are only 4 years behind schedule. Not bad for a FDA approved compound(BCG). Human...
How do you figure they are 4 years behind schedule? They were published in NYtimes in 2003 to raise awareness. When did you start supporting or even hear of...
Very well put, Julie!! I've had type 1 for 21 years -- and I have to tell everyone that the discovery Dr. Faustman has made is, by far, the most impressive....
Please see my response to Julie. Thank you ... the ... I've heard many ... it was going ... research is ... wrong way ... eternal ... last one, so ... reacted...
This is getting old. Firstly Faustman published this work in the July 2001 edition of the JCI. At that time, I emailed her asking her "when will human trials...
... Why do you think human trials will begin in 2007? The last I heard, the plans were to start them in "Fall of 2008". (Fall being near the end of 2008...)...
No inside info. here, but I would not anticipate the human clinical trials to begin until early 2008. In one of the update letters, it was very clearly stated...
Joshua, I never said I thought they would begin in 2007. I thought they would begin in 2003. That is what Faustman told me in 2001. I said they are four...
A few people asked why I thought the trials wouldn't begin until 2008; my reasoning is simple: the human trials cannot begin until the blood assay is...
In the most recent edition of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), a letter from Dr. Faustman written in response to a letter to the NEJM from Douglas...
What will be different in Dr. Faustman and Dr. Nathan's human clinical trial is that they will be using multiple dosing of BCG in humans at an increasing...
Sue, can we agree that these trials will not proceed until the "automated assay" is completed? Did Faustman have this automated assay during the mouse trials? ...
The answer in short is because if a mouse dies, nobody cares. Just think if the "small human trial" was a failure either due to huge complications or due to...
Patsy, I think you are misunderstanding what I am inferring. The point I am making is why spend so much time and money on a automation process that, in the end...
The procedure to separate and count the targeted T cells from whole blood samples in humans takes 1 ½ days by hand. Seeing that they plan to ultimately take...
Sue, thanks for the info. I am still baffled that they chose to spend time and money on the automation process, when it may be a moot point. If they can count...
They have to automate the process. They cannot monitor even a small group of people effectively day after day during the trial without automation. I would...
I am new to this group. I have been waiting for 20+ years to see a cure or a real hope of a cure...What is happening seems to be faster than the ADA who seems...
From Lynne Murphy at MGH: "Keep checking our website www.faustmanlab.org for updated information. We will also be informing all individuals in our database...
If BCG is successful and safe, I would welcome taking it every day until the second agent is identified. We need a cure NOW. This is an absolutely miserable...
Perhaps if BCG is successful in temporarily halting the autoimmune attack, then millions of the research money raised would start funnelling into the search...
Forget about the fundraisers jumping on board at that point. IF BCG halts the autoimmune attach I would like to see the government step in an recognize that...
I know this isn't the perfect place to ask this question, but i also know there are a lot of Join Lee Now folks here, so I'd thought I'd ask this: What human...
Good afternoon all, Greetings from The Iacocca Foundation. We've been preparing for the Iacocca Celebrity Golf Tournament, which is scheduled for May 2 and 3...
