Thank you for your coverage on this story! It is because of your coverage and hopefully others that Robert Miller's heroic effort to call attention to the FDA's denial of Ampligen for patients may be heard. It is so important as it also helps expose the horrible neglect of this patient population.

How could the FDA not approve the only drug in the pipeline fot the VICTIMS of ME/CFS, they don't care, they are going to push it back as long as they can. I have been looking at history, and its grim what our government has done, the veterans that served in Vietnam that handeled Agent Orange in 1960-1970's had illnesses like MS, Parkinsons, Lympomas, and others. Over 26,000 Veterans were denied disability until 2009, 40 + years after exsposure. Even though they proved that they caused the Verterans illness they still classified the illness as "PRESUMED". Robert Miller I think your on the right track, its time to go GANDHI on them. Thanks for the ONLY coverage were getting.

People stuck on their couches all over the world are rooting for you, Bob.20 years is a long time to be sick with 'The Living Death'.

We the invisible losers in this battle really appreciate your coverage of the FDA denial of thre only current treatment, Ampligen. It's been a huge battle by a few patients to try and make this treatment available for all CFS/ME patients. CFS is a primary chronic immune deficiency illness with very serious and lasting effects. We need s treatment that

THank you for covering this story. Robert Miller is now on Day 8 of his HUNGER STRIKE. It's disgraceful that the FDA did not approve Ampligen to treat M.E. (CFS in the U.S.) patients. If they had to live for one day with this illness, I guarantee you it would have been approved. They could have conditionally approved it, they've done that before with other drugs. But no, not for M.E. they won't. They've also approved drugs with serious side effects and less efficacy than Ampligen. The FDA itself admitted in December it was safe. The name was changed to CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) to denigrate the illness. Sadly, the bottom line is that nobody cares about M.E. patients. What has been done to M.E. patients will go down in history alongside the other ABUSES perpetrated against people by governments and their agencies. SHAME on them all. We wish Robert well, are keeping him in our thoughts and are very fearful for him.

Thank you for the continued coverage of this story. Please if you are moved or inspired by this family's attempt to move through the barriers of our government and help patients out, join us in support. Write to your reps, congress, NIH, FDA. The ME/CFS currently only receives @ $6.00/patient/year to study from our government agencies. Private funding is also extremely low. One of the lowest funded diseases studied. The burden on society is @ 20 billion/year in direct and indirect cost. Disgraceful!

Money paves the way when it comes to the FDA's mighty power of approval to do business in this country. As many drugs as we have on the market approved by the FDA that have far worse life threatening side effects then the products intended use, yet, we are going to deny a product that has been tested for 20 years with no deaths? I'd say their are two reason's for denial...#1 $$$ expedites the approval process, #2 wait long enough, big pharma can patient their own version of the drug and get it approved, leaving the little guy in the dust calling theirs the "Generic Version! If they allow you to follow behind and sell it that is!
