Thanks I'll see how important he is.
Can someone get the name of the person from Oppenheimer who asked a question on the call. I have an account there and it would be helpful to see if this was a retail guy or an analyst. TIA
PPHM in my opinion is closer now then ever before in achieving their goals. I've been here for about 6 years..unhappy with the price and the long wait,but feel we are about to find out one way or the other. I find it amazing that posters can post the same complaints over and over day after day. To me that is like being married to someone who cheats on you everyday with you knowing it and doing nothing about it. Thats bad enough ,but to make it worse you tell your family,friends,coworkers,anybody that will listen day after day after day. If it's that painful it's time for Divorce.
Very well put George,but will ultimately fall on deaf ears. Lets hope PPHM begins a slow but steady climb upwards.
Cheynew most of the time I like reading your posts,but there are ocasions when I question weather you do in fact have money on the table. Regards, I hope pphm works out for all of us.
I don't disagree with your level of frustration,it's the way you express it. Caps should be reserved for more serious events.I also don't put posters on ignore.Hopefully PPHM will do something before most of us are below ground. Regards
Maybe nobody said anything...but most of us think it's rude.
Stupidity I think not...you have to work there to see the new defination of stupid it's called rampant recklessness.
Best post of the day.
Sweet Discovery Raises Hope for Treating Ebola, Lassa, Marburg and Other Fast-Acting Viruses
ScienceDaily (Nov. 3, 2010) — When a team of European researchers sought to discover how a class of antiviral drugs worked, they looked in an unlikely place: the sugar dish. A new research report appearing in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that a purified and modified form of a simple sugar chain may stop fast-acting and deadly viruses, such as Ebola, Lassa, or Marburg viruses, in their tracks.

This compound, called chlorite-oxidized oxyamylose or COAM, could be a very attractive therapeutic option because not only did this compound enhance the early-stage immune defenses in mice, but because of sugar's abundance, it is derived from easily obtainable sources.
"We modified and purified a safe drug from natural sources and discovered how it can protect against deadly virus infections," said Ghislain Opdenakker, M.D., a researcher involved in the study from the Laboratory of Immunobiology at the Rega Institute for Medical Research and the University of Leuven in Belgium.
To make this discovery, researchers infected mice with a virus that kills in less than a week. When one group of these infected mice was treated with an unpurified version of the compound, about half of the infected mice were protected from the effects of the virus. Researchers then purified the compound and treated another group of infected mice. In that group, more than 90 percent survived the deadly infection. These results suggest that the purified compound almost completely blocked the killer virus by speeding the response of the body's fast-acting immune cells, called white blood cells or leukocytes, at the early stage of infection.
"This is an exciting discovery because it offers hope that we will finally be able to really do something about some of the world's deadliest viruses -- rapidly mobilizing antiviral immune cells is critical in the race between these killer viruses and the host," said John Wherry, Ph.D., Deputy Editor of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology. "The fact that this compound comes from something as abundant as sugar just sweetens the findings."

Agree.....but I hope that is not the case. At the very least this report should make them aware of this potential problem.
Popular Cancer Drug Can Cause Kidney Damage, Study Finds
ScienceDaily (June 10, 2010) — The widely used cancer drug bevacizumab may cause severe loss of protein from the kidney into the urine that can lead to significant kidney damage and can compromise the efficacy of cancer treatment, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). The results suggest that physicians should monitor patients' kidney health when prescribing this angiogenesis inhibitor.

Clinical trial
While research indicates that treatment with the chemotherapy drug bevacizumab can lead to urinary protein leakage (proteinuria) and kidney damage, the overall risk associated with the drug and patient risk factors are unknown. Bevacizumab blocks a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor, thus inhibiting the production of new blood vessels around tumors.
Shenhong Wu MD, PhD (Stony Brook University Cancer Center), Xiaolei Zhu, MD, PhD (Kidney Doctors PLLC), and their colleagues conducted a review of published randomized, controlled clinical trials to assess the overall risk for severe proteinuria in patients taking bevacizumab. The researchers analyzed data from 16 studies comprising 12,268 patients with a variety of tumors.
Severe proteinuria occurred in 2.2% of patients taking bevacizumab. Compared with patients taking chemotherapy alone, patients taking bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy had a 4.79-fold increased risk of developing severe proteinuria and a 7.78-fold increased risk of developing nephrotic syndrome. (Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms including protein in the urine, low blood protein levels, high cholesterol levels, high triglyceride levels, and swelling.)
Patients taking higher dosages of bevacizumab had the greatest risk of developing proteinuria. Also, when the investigators looked at differences by cancer type, they found that patients with kidney cancer had the highest risk of developing proteinuria (10.2% incidence).
These results indicate that it is particularly important to monitor the effects of bevacizumab in patients who have kidney cancer or who are receiving high doses of the drug. Future studies should investigate how to reduce bevacizumab's kidney-related effects, and physicians should be prepared to treat these potential side effects.
Study co-authors include Christi Kim, MD and Lea Baer, MD (Stony Brook University Cancer Center).

Back from lurking...Moby that post makes it sound like everyone has an agenda but you. Bad pumpers working for the company...prove it. Who do you work for. Back to lurking.
You said 9 months Moby, if you state something as fact make sure it's accurate. God knows you're on everybodys case for stuff like this. Regards.....back to lurking.
I also like apposing views as long as they are grounded in fact. I find some of your posts to be over the edge which leads me to believe there is an agenda here. Regards.
Why did you have to wake him up.
Happy New Year everyone. Was wondering if anyone knew of a drug called Nov-002,from what I've read it seems it might be similiar to Bavi's MOA in that it stimulates the immune system. Hope a better mouse trap dosn't keep us from achieving our potential.
Your timing is absolutely awfull. No to your proposal
Mkt. is closed tomorrow.
Been in for about 4 years with a modest amount. I rarely post,but enjoy reading the board. It use to be a good read,but lately has a lot of clutter.
Must you respond to every post by the board Gadflies
There is an article in today's Long Island Newsday discussing a Stony Brook University study of intestional perforations in patients using Avastin. They claim there is also a high mortality rate in patients that this occures in. Article is on page A14.
Good post Jess on topic and youmake perfect sense
Here is some hope for PPHM

ABC News Play Video Video: Protecting Yourself Abroad FOX News Play Video Video: India demands Pakistan hand over terrorists AP AFP – US President elect Barack Obama (C), flanked by Vice-President elect Joseph Biden (2nd-R) holds a press … WASHINGTON – A bipartisan commission is asserting the country should expect a terrorist attack using nuclear or biological weapons sometime in the next five years.
The report, which is scheduled to be publicly released on Wednesday, suggests that the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama should improve the capability of the United States to counter such an attack and to prepare if necessary for germ warfare.
The report was written by the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism. Among other things, it concluded: "Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing."
The commission also is encouraging the new White House to appoint a National Security Council official to exclusively coordinate U.S. intelligence and foreign policy on combating the spread of nuclear and biological weapons.
They are there so you can post about it in a chat room.
It is painfully obvious that someone is delibertly showing PPHM how easy it is to tank the stock on good news. I would think someone made a proposal and the deal is take it or get smacked down.
Posting in caps is called screaming. Be civil, post in lower case.
Ot. You guessed my handle
Realass you claim to be a full time investor.The market is off to it's worst start ever,and you spend 24/7 bashing a penny stock.This does not add up...please explain.
I'd be giddy if you Terry and Realass didn't post any more.Is this the only stock you guys own..did you bet the childrens lunch money on this.Get a life enjoy the holidays. This is a spec play nothing more nothing less.
Lets gess what his ID was before Moby.
I hope he takes you up on that.....Raging Bull is useless.
I'm totally in agreement,and willing to wait for results..God I wish the market was open today.
Thats great now all we need is no rain and some available rigs
Is that a given that the " E " is gone on tuesday?
Wanto.. thanks for starting this board,RB is becoming very tedious.Hopefully I'll have something to add in the next few weeks.
