My nomination for the greatest ad ever made - by science-despising vampire-hunting con artists that provide us with a bounteous harvest of blind children not to mention a holocaust of starvation for the greater profit of Big Agriculture.
https://tinyurl.com/y8rbjc9d
Feel free to argue that protecting the world from science is a worthy goal as censors permit but my thesis is about science too long delayed by superstitious nonsense.
On this fine Memorial Day honoring us veterans by demanding more death and lifelong disability from the younger people on the fringes of society, I wonder if it might not be better to work on preserving science rather than pointless destructive war.
Little is being done by LWLG today that was not envisioned [and more] over half a century ago.
Why does it take so long?
Tell me what you think if it is allowed here. I have told you far too often what I think.

If Elon Musk knew about LWLG tech he would be all over it.
Who could explain LWLG to this modern day P. T. Barnum?
Are you aware that a car decades ago was driven coast to coast and back again powered by cow manure, the same sort of stuff that powers Musk?
Did you know the stinky skies of United use the same sort of fuel on some of their flights?
I expect they don't use the stinky stuff more for the same reason they don't brag on a most economical resource that cleans up the planet instead of making it dirtier.
The following tops all regarding an industry currently getting heavy investment from Toyota that is Top Secret like LWLG:
Finally! An All-Electric Feed Truck, Powered Completely by Cow Poop
Reports a dairy farmer:
“Every day, we flush and scrape the manure from the barn, which goes into a manure separator that removed the solids from the liquids,” he explains. The solids are used as fertilizer, but the real magic is in the liquids. The liquids are streamed into an artificial pond that’s been covered to create an anaerobic environment. Microbes in the pond digest the starches and sugars in the manure liquid, expelling methane. That methane is then routed to an engine where it’s combusted in a way not entirely unlike gasoline, providing energy.

Elon Musk drools:
Nanotech is so 2008.
A giant iconic American corporation admired around the world dominated most all others with its nanotechnology and then blew it all through incredible stupidity.
The corporation was Eastman Kodak. Rochester, NY, is filled with remnants of the past more splendid than anything left behind by the auto industry in Detroit.
Some prophet Elon Musk. Best he should send more of his monstrosities to Mars or Jupiter. He can't even forecast the past.
I look forward to a great deal more than faster connections from LWLG. LWLG finally has the kind of management that can do it IMO.

Study says pharma mergers result in fewer new medicines
Hardly just drugs [or even more crucially testing and availability] but the decimation of competition in any industry is deadly to much innovation. Medicine is particularly poignant because of the obvious connection to lives lost.
"Just a few years ago, we wouldn't have known how to sew up a liver and your son would have died," the doctor in the emergency room told us. I wonder if anybody has told preposterously labeled "liberal," Elizabeth Warren, that her frightened opposition to scientific innovation in agriculture is costing at least tens of thousands of poor children their eyesight, not to mention the huge toll of poverty and starvation.
No liberal has ever fought science.
CONSERVATIVE, n.
A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. - The Devil's Dictionary
Is the fast-growing business of computing exempt from the laws of nature?
- Of course not.
So why do so many here want for a quick buck to sell to a monopolist a technology vastly more significant than the ability to sew up livers in the greater scheme of things?
- You will have to ask them. They get so angry at me for asking simple questions that have no good answer.
You would think they hate money too.

P.S. Link to one of numerous shallow sources for reference to study for verification only.
P.P.S. I used Elizabeth Warren only as an exemplar [or goat] for a huge fallacy. I like the lady so much I donated a dime or two to her so she could replace the naked guy in the Senate for decency sake.

New opening for rejuvenating Bio-Reference Laboratories or a new threat?
Interesting historical information from Dark Daily
https://tinyurl.com/y7a8wo5d
For Second Time in Three Years, OPKO Health Will Acquire a Clinical Laboratory Company by Spending $1.47 Billion to Acquire Bio-Reference Laboratories
The first forgotten acquisition gave OPK its 4Kscore challenge.
Wall Street Analysts Surprised by Clinical Laboratory Acquisition
Financial analysts on Wall Street were caught off guard by the news. One reason is that OPKO, a company with only $91 million of annual revenue, was purchasing a company that is more than eight times larger. (BRLI’s annual revenue exceeds $832 million.) Another reason is that OPKO has only a small presence in the clinical laboratory-testing marketplace. Its acquisition of Bio-Reference Laboratories will make it one of the nation’s larger medical laboratory companies.
However, some pathologists and clinical laboratory managers will remember that OPKO did acquire another lab company. In October 2012, it purchased Prost-Data Inc., the owner of OURLabs, an anatomic pathology reference laboratory offering gastrointestinology and dematopathology, among other services, in Nashville, Tennessee. For OURLabs, OPKO paid $9.4 million in cash and $30.6 million in shares to Prost-Data Inc.
Anatomic Pathology Company Offered Reference Testing Services Nationally
OURLabs operated OURLab, a urologic reference laboratory that owned the proprietary 4Kscore Test. The 4Kscore Test provides a personalized risk profile for aggressive prostate cancer by combining the test results of four different kallikrein assays (total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and hK2) with other data, such as a patient’s age and whether he had a prior biopsy, OPKO said.
At the time of the acquisition of OURLabs, Jonathan Oppenheimer, M.D., the founder of Oppenheimer Urologic Reference Laboratory (OURLab), described why the deal with OPKO was important. In an interview with The Dark Report, Oppenheimer said the merger had three significant benefits and those benefits are strikingly similar to the benefits OPKO says it plans to get from its acquisition of BRLI.
OPKO Expects Same Synergies with Bio-Reference as with OURLabs
“First, because of proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic technologies at OPKO Health, our clinicians will be engaged in activities that go beyond laboratory medicine and pathology,” he said. That’s similar to what OPKO said about BRLI.
“Second, it leverages our sales force by giving them more products to sell,” noted Oppenheimer. Again, this strategy is one OPKO will use once it owns BRLI.
“Third, in addition to our work in diagnostic medicine, we can now get involved in the development of pharmaceuticals, which is a fast-growing area of medicine today,” Oppenheimer said. OPKO plans to use this strategy with BRLI as well.
Few observers were aware of the similarities of the two deals, and so, focused on what effect the deal had on BRLI’s stock price.
...the bigger question is why Bio-Reference Laboratories is willing to sell itself to a company that is just one-eighth its size? Your editorial team at Dark Daily, and its sister publication, The Dark Report, believe that two factors may have had a role in this acquisition. First, BRLI’s executive team has made no secret of its desire to remain independent and not be acquired by either of the two blood brothers. Thus, it can be assumed that becoming a business division of OPKO probably makes it more difficult—and more expensive—for BRLI to be acquired by either of the two billion-dollar lab companies or a private equity company.
"In for a dime, in for a dollar" with Frost I guess.
How's come nobody before told me that 4Kscore had led to all this and much more.
Does Frost never take a backward step?
Best, Terry
we all really know that what ultimately matters is the science.
I don't, Proto, respectfully.
Many here spit on the science and even deny it. How might one explain light that so many say they don't understand? Are there then so many blind?
You conflate science and engineering it seems to me but that is a nevermind.
Without cash, the science and engineering will never be.
Overemphasis on financing is ruinous too as if the Wright brothers decided to concentrate on bicycles or THE ADMIRAL did dump the photonic computer without even a syllable of explanation I have ever seen.
Lebby is great and LWLG is great and many here are very adept at explaining and exploring the technology. Perfection exists only in the imagination.
Thanks for what you do. The riches will almost surely come but that is not all there is.

BioTime Further Expands OpRegen(R) Clinical Trial in Dry-AMD With the Opening of Two Additional U.S. Sites
Diana V. Do, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University School of Medicine
David Telander, MD, PhD at The Retinal Consultants Medical Group serving northern California
BioTime, Inc. (NYSE American: BTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on degenerative diseases, today announced the expansion of its ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial for OpRegen®, with the addition of two new U.S. sites that are expected to begin treating patients later this quarter.
“The addition of these two leading U.S. clinical trial sites is in addition to our current two sites in California. We are actively recruiting patients and are in line with our plans to meet our patient enrollment projections over the next few months,” commented Dr. Gary S. Hogge, Senior Vice President of Clinical and Medical Affairs of BioTime.
To speed up enrollment?? It doesn't say and likely means it is just in line with initial plans.
It pleases me to think this is a very big deal with BTX all alone in treating dry AMD.

Chilling to think about the suit against the Sandy Hook denialists proving such lunacy being believed and a special horror of its own but wouldn't it be great if those responsible for denying the value of 4Kscore could also be sued for the harm they do?
Hey I suppose I am going way overboard but the the pressure groups fighting 4Kscore ought somehow to be penalized for the harm they do.
Just my quavering opinion because free speech is a huge freedom I appreciate greatly too and it is constantly under attack..

INSYS Therapeutics Confirms Outcome of FDA Advisory Committee Meeting on Buprenorphine Sublingual Spray
PHOENIX, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSY), a leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of pharmaceutical cannabinoids and spray technology, confirmed today that an expert panel convened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted not to recommend approval of the company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for a buprenorphine sublingual spray as a treatment for moderate-to-severe acute pain.
https://tinyurl.com/yd6udr82
This looks like another case of the fine people at the FDA stomping on the guys wearing "KICK ME" signs on the back of their pants rather than decent proceedings.
Buprenorphine-Naloxone Film
Uses
This medication contains 2 medicines: buprenorphine and naloxone. It is used to treat opioid (narcotic) dependence/addiction. Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called mixed opioid agonist-antagonists. Buprenorphine helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids.
Naloxone is a narcotic antagonist that blocks the effect of opioids and can cause severe opioid withdrawal when injected. Withdrawal is less likely when naloxone is taken by mouth, dissolved under the tongue, or dissolved on the inside of the cheek. It is combined with buprenorphine to prevent abuse and misuse (injection) of this medication. This combination medication is used as part of a complete treatment program for drug abuse (such as compliance monitoring, counseling, behavioral contract, lifestyle changes).
https://tinyurl.com/https-www-webmd-com-drugs-2
No reason is given for the FDA rejecting an approved drug from INSY that would help ward off the the withdrawal symptoms from people trying to get off opioids.
The FDA doesn't want people getting off opoids? What?
Best, Terry
Yeah, Jackcross, I doubt that Dodd and crew have given up. The reports of their demise are probably exaggerated.
That was what I meant to convey. I theorized earlier that the Chapter 7 filing was meant to lose Marshall.

I expected that there was no such hare-brained rule forbidding officers of a bankrupt company to submit bids for control. You saved me the trouble if I could have managed to find applicable law.
Did Dodd really say it was out of his hands and give up? That seems especially odd since Abraham Lincoln noted God only needs one D to spell his name but the Dodds need 3.
Note to those who missed out on elementary school, Lincoln's wife was Mary Dodd.

Aratana Therapeutics Appoints Craig Barbarosh and Lowell Robinson to its Board of Directors in Cooperation Agreement with Engaged Capital
Mr. Robinson...previously served on the boards of The Metropolitan Opera Guild, The Smithsonian Libraries and the University of Wisconsin School of Business. Mr. Robinson earned his M.B.A. from Harvard...

You butchered a hog instead of going to kindergarten? Do tell.
We have a very different picture of America.
In high school I went part-time because I worked a. short day and then I was forced to take a totally worthless class that was to prepare me for life as a serf. The other ckasses I took were math and physics
I got called into the principal's office just once in my life and that was for going hunting rather than school on one day when I didn't have to work.. All the other kids were sick those days except for another truant who worked in a sawmill. The principal demanded he bring a note from his mother the next day. He asked if it would be alright if he brought a note from his wife instead.
I admire people who do things, not make a mint through a string of bankruptcies though I admit that way is ingenious.
Like Michael Lebby, for instance, I know of no similar situation in which the CEO watches over developments in Silicon Valley while he prepares to remake the place with his company stuck up in the mountains of Colorado.
Besides Lebby, San Francisco has many used-up poor and aged and sick whose former homes generously bought them one-way tickets to San Francisco and other immigrants who have made America the great country it was and still can be. I humbly suggest you look into how the dying city of Lewiston, ME, found new life and prosperity without chicanery or overweening greed. It's a truly great American story akin to that of LWLG and its current CEO.

CE mark is a must before any therapist will consider using it, due to insurance, etc.
DeepDive,
I never been no beautician so I pretty much have to take your word but I never been no European in the restricted area that honors the CE mark either.
Assuming some outlaws in Europe or America or even Borneo, for that matter, began using stem cells, I suppose anyone even encouraging it would be in deep doo doo.
A true personal story not really off topic, if you don't mind:
My wife many years ago was told by her doctor she might have breast cancer. A radical mastectomy was then immediately performed if the lab thought tissue biopsid was routine in America while lumpectomies were already common in Europe.
A book I showed my wife prior to her hospitalization by a doctor disgusted with American surgeons so eager to lop off women's breasts told of a study of women with breast cancer who had no surgery at all.
Obviously this was no clinical trial and the data was not terribly reliable but it indicated the mastectomies were not all that great in achieving longevity.
In the end my wife refused to give permission for removal of the breast whatever the biopsy indicated, the doctor was very angry but did the biopsy anyway.
I saw the deep frowns on the faces of the surgeon and anesthesiologist leaving the operating room. They both obviously thought they had found cancer - but the lab said no.
A little extra tidbit:
A nurse whispered to my wife the other nurses were all delighted at my wife's resistance and then she said she had a lump she had been worried about for a long time.....
Believe it or not as it grabs you but it is all gospel truth whatever you think of it.

Hogwash!
The damage done by punky poo and 236 and others is tiny. I guess some listen but shutting them down can do worse damage.
Years ago a biotech won a lawsuit against a poster making crude claims bordering on obscenity with a court order to desist. Then a crucial pivotal trial failed and the air turned purple.
Long ago I played a small part in identifying a sicko at one of the Iowa state universities. He loved to torture women posters who let their genders be known. The Iowa university threatened us with legal repercussions.
I have seen lives lost as well as companies destroyed from inflammatory and atrociously false information but then haven't we all?
Want to know how many Vietnam "baby killer" veterans committed suicide? Well current veterans do in terrifying numbers still. For myself I am glad the period of revolting semi-mandatory thank you's ended quickly.
Keep posting, please, but an effective crusader against the evil ones I think you are not. The trolls will have a field day with a delay of slight consequence overall, if it can truly be reckoned as a delay in the nature of R&D, but it could be looked at as another grand buying opportunity.

Kastle224,
what happens to the stock we own in this company ? Can we still sell our shares ? I don't even have mine registered
What do you mean you don't have your shares registered?
Did you pick them up off the street?
Assuming you bought the stock, inherited it, got it in trade, or even stole the stock certificate(s) and have no evidence of ownership other than a certificate, it should still be on the company books though perhaps not in your name for reasons mentioned.
The bankruptcy proceedings could make your certificates worthless except as paper items but that has yet to be determined. When Poland and Russia opted to re-enter the public markets at the end of the Cold War they first had to redeem pre-Revolution gold bonds. Framed certificates were taken off walls and antique paper dealers' inventories got a gold rush.
Say your certificates were lost, burned up in a fire, etc. they could still be replaced for a fee if they are on the company books or maybe only properly receipted.

BioTime Submits CE Mark Application for European Approval of Renevia®
“We look forward to approval in the EU and, provided appropriate clinical data support, expanding the label into other indications and geographies, including the U.S.”
BioTime views the European pivotal trial in HIV-associated lipoatrophy as an entryway into a larger market opportunity, like cosmetic facial aesthetics.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180313005625/en/BioTime-Submits-CE-Mark-Application-European-Approval
Yeah OK, that will be great news but a CE mark is a kind of license to further explore a new technology rather than full commercialization.
Initial trials were in AIDS victims. The trials were pseudo-medical trials providing some cosmetic relief from the ravages of a terrible disease.
I guess aging can be looked at in the same way as disease but naturally many will want something more than nature's normal bounty.
Trials started in the U.S. are purely cosmetic.
That's where the big money really is.
Again the CE mark approval will be great news but it may be a while before Renevia strikes real pay dirt.
I am not sure BTX will not be able to quickly transition Renevia away from a medical procedure to a strictly beauty treatment though that is clearly the aim. I could imagine beauty treatments in America long before there is any FDA approval but have no idea if that is possible.
Best, Terry
A huge cheer for commonsense. Thanks, F2.
One more thing ... and for me the most exciting. Talked a long time with someone who relayed that the company is not looking to be bought out. They are looking to build, get into certain markets first in this 'blue moon' opportunity, and build a large footprint going forward. In days gone buy they were looking to develop tech to take to a potential buyer. That was the end game. They said, this will not be bought out, it will mature, have it's technology mature in so many differing markets eventually and become a significant company.
Could Lebby resist the pining of X and others looking for a quick dump as well as the dumbos who will surely buy in heavily?
The answer is clearly yes.
The Supreme Court handed over control of public corporations to management rather than raiders exemplified best by comic book-style character T. Boone Pickens who in the end began using greenmail threats to loot public corporations. He even tried offshore but was quickly offed in Japan.
The cure may be worse than the disease but surely not in this case IMO.

pochemunyet,
Okay, I'll bite; what's that stock you refer to, Hallinan?
I am not here to sell anyone another stock. More than one company has directed its attention to curing blindness but not normally the total blindness we normally think of.
AMD (macular degeneration) is the primary cause of blindness in the aged and dry AMD constitutes some 80% of that group with no approved treament. The central vision is hollowed out. Some peripheral vision remains but it is not enough to function well like a sighted person.
I knew a man for years who repaired and sold antique golf clubs and never knew he was blind, needing his wife's arm to walk to the john for instance but then he faced an obstacle course by himself, unable to see as far as the floor.
BTX has shown an ability to repair the sight of frogs, for one species, by transplanting stem cells into an area dealing with sight and then using an object like a pencil to see if the frog's eyes will follow the movement.
It has shown what BTX calls improvement in severe cases of dry AMD in three cohorts and has begun recruiting less severely impacted seniors?
Will it be successful in restoring functional sight?
- I don't know and no one does.
BTX has managed to take over another biotech after a fierce struggle that purportedly had some success with wet AMD which is much faster, more severe but has competition.
Should you buy BTX?
- That's entirely up to you but I think LWLG is far safer and where have put the largest percentage of my inconsiderable funds.
If BTX was as as advanced in dry AMD as LWLG is in photonics the usual stock market suspects I expect would have gone wild.
All JMO as always.

Theedude,
I find the idea that you're going to be able to just buy this stock at $3 if we get positive news rather amusing.
That's pretty much the way that post struck me but consider a biotech with clinical trials in progress trying to make blind humans see as it has done with various animals took a hefty haircut from the 10-Q reporting substantial increases in spending on increasing enrollment?!?
My guess is the price of LWLG will be well over $3 long before it has a marketable product.
So why isn't it now?
Over time the word can get out and workers talk...
Or maybe not.
How many here knew about blindness being cured?
Best, Terry
Nothing but good news and more supportive evidence has come out for 4k score but Novitas changed their determination from positive to negative? It's curious.
What's curious?
Overwhelming greed is behind the urology pressure groups that ignore the lives, disability and expense that ensues from destroying tests for aggressive prostate rather using the PSA test that even the inventor condemned as a screening tool likening it to using the color of a man's eyes for deciding on a prostate biopsy.
The 4Kscore test is not the only test for aggressive prostate cancer. It may or may not be the best. Another biotech founded by a medical doctor/Ph.D to to sell a similar test to 4Kscore that did not have Frost's resources was destroyed by the urologists.
I am very glad Frost used an obviously influential urologist to counter the atrocity of denying the validity of the 4Kscore test.
Being a urologist should not be a badge of dishonor.
IMHO this will quickly pass.

Valuation challenge, I would bet the ranch that if LWLG would put itself up for sale to the highest bidder currently, and put an opening required bid of $300 million (approx $4/sh) there would be absolutely no challenge in selling the P2IC Polymer Platform "as-is"
If you had a ranch the size of Colorado, only someone as careless with money as the Great Pumpkin would take your bet by putting up a sawbuck.
But it's a silly proposition. A bidding war would logically ensue and the winner would still have a huge bargain.
The facile claim that LWLG will be quickly picked up by some dumbo surely takes Lebby for a simpleton dilettante.
Shame on such idle thinking.

goforthebet,
why would any big pharma be interested now as they are bankrupt
Undoubtedly the dumbos are not terribly bright but I offer the MPL vaccine adjuvant as an easy answer to your claim.
GSK bought the adjuvant from the remains of a blundering biotech financed by the like of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. I got to try to explain to a Wall Street Journal reporter way back in the day when the paper had merit why I thought I knew more than such worthies.
The paper actually published it - for laughs I supposed.
Dr. Edgar Ribi's MPL adjuvant blazed into the headlines recently by powering a breakthrough malaria alongside an old nemesis - rootbeer flavoring owned by AGEN from another bankruptcy.
No one can make stuff like this up.

Congratulations, pochemunyet, on on your great buys but you bolixed up your claim.
Unexpected great news nearly always ignites a rally but the publicity prior to an annual meeting like this one with great expectations nearly always leads to a dip in the price of the stock.
It is so common even I forecast it with the proviso that this time could be different as always.

From link:
In addition to this Phase 2 clinical trial of CBD in Prader-Willi syndrome, INSYS has also recently started trials of CBD as an investigational treatment for infantile spasms (Phase 3) and childhood absence epilepsy (Phase 2).
But, hey, isn't INSY bumping into the highly rated GWPH?
- I don't think so but nothing about the Weed is clear. GWPH has dealt strictly with biologics (medicines derived directly from plants) but CBD is a somewhat different playground.
Store shelves may be filled CBD potions notions derived from hemp but so are "dirty" marijuana drugs that are far from pharmaceutical grade. Careless derivation of a very small fraction of THC leads to lots of contamination.
That "contamination" may even be good because "rumors" of other psychoactive chemicals and other medicinal benefits are quite possibly true.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, abbreviated THC, is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in cannabis. THC is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis.

Wikipedia is a very valuable resource but not unimpeachable and your government even yet has very expensive and intimidating rules for studying Cannabis plants.
I am not sure how the FDA would deal with an INSY synthetic competing with a GWPH biologic. In normal cases the FDA would easily choose the synthetic as superior but this is your FDA that branded an INSY synthetic THC a dangerous, addictive drug though it has been sold for decades by Big Pharma without such inhibiting controls while ignorant, puritanical politicians are determined to destroy INSYS.

I guess maybe now that they think they understand the genes implicated with cell regeneration, it may somehow be easier to interfere with those genes in cancerous cells
You are surely right on the money here, Bobby. No need to guess.
AST took the telomerase cancer vaccines [autologous and allogeneic {a vaccine generated from one's own tumor vs cultured tumor material}] with them when they spun off BTX. [BTX still holds a significant share.]
The telomerase promises ability to end aging. The cancer vaccines are designed to make immortal cancer cells mortal and destroy the bastids. Allogeneic vaccines have been a black hole for billions for decades but VAC2, the allogeneic vaccine just starting recruiting for a Phase I clinical trial in England lung cancers, has the very unusual qualification of being applicable to some 80% of all cancers and nearly all lung cancers.
