Ultimately my main concern is that DCVax could be an effective treatment that gets buried by the medical industry complex and that millions of cancer patients continue to suffer as a result.

CogDiss, I strongly believe that your view is shared by Linda Powers and Dr. Linda Liau (and myself and many others). I strongly believe that a large part of LP’s reason for avoiding an early sale to BP was the fear that any one of them would bury it because it’s just so much easier to sell chemo and radiation than develop an innovative personalized cancer treatment that actually works. Both Lindas are firmly committed to bringing DCVax to fruition. I believe the tide has changed in regard to personalized treatments, so perhaps the climate for selling to BP has, as well. Still, I think they both would feel better about a partial sale, say to a country, or a partnership, so that they could make certain that DCVaxL and Direct make it to patients.

I’m also a strong believer that Linda Powers is not trying to profit by dragging her feet, as some here have suggested. She’s 63, and giving no indication of quitting the fight against cancer. In fact, quite the contrary, we’re all familiar with her most recent endeavor, another cancer-fighting treatment with the potential to be synergetic with DCVax. We’re all here to hopefully make money off NWBO, but Linda is here to cure cancer. I suspect that if she makes money on NWBO, it will go into her next cancer fighter, whose name is something like Inmune. Me, I’m going to pay bills, pay off a mortgage or two, take a vacation, and maybe leave something to the kids.
Is anybody else on this board planning to cure cancer with their profits here???
I agree whole-heartedly with you, Cog, that If Linda was trying to line her pockets, it would be a reason to avoid the company. On the contrary, she personally received $5 million from the sale of Cognate and immediately put it into NWBO as a loan. That, to me, is a buy, Buy, BUY signal. The fact that she can choose to take her money in shares and warrants is an even bigger BUY signal.
So, I’m all in with this company and with Linda. I suspect that the time they’ve taken to get this right will be saved in the next year or two with very, very short trials in every cancer indication you can possibly think of.
