I was a Diabetic for many years and remember listening to reports on how close at hand a cure was. They never came. Some great research was left to die on the vine because it was never fully funded. Eli-Lilly, B-D, Johnson&Johnson, and Diabetes Specialist make billions of dollars a year, so why would they help anything that would threaten that? For humanitarian reasons? It is a massive industry, one of many, employing thousands, based on diseases that can be treated but not cured. How do you think the oil industry would react to a fuel that is endless in supply and only cost the user a small one time payment? There would be negative media spin, trumped-up side affects that would have to be "throughly investigated", Buy-outs, brides, and pay-offs. Pressure on politicians and universities to block, ignore, and sabotage new research.
Once Cytogenix's technology is proved to work in humans I think we can expect the above. Right now it is a small company with some clinical success. The odds say we will fail (I think not). No one is afraid of them yet, so nothing is happening yet. For now they will be ignored.
I do agree with you though that it will be hard to hide once any success in humans is achieved. Pure greed will probably prompt some pharma with not much to lose in the Herpes area to partner with Cytogenix. Better to sell the cure than nothing.
P.S. I said 'was' Diabetic because I had a kidney pancreas transplant five years ago.
