No you didn't. A doctor at UMC administered a treatment as prescribed by a researcher at Johns Hopkins. The UMC doctor did nothing more then act as a go between. But of course, go ahead and beat your chest.

No matter what (cancer, aids, etc) SEC schools are some of the most advanced research institutions out there. Once people start looking at what schools are doing instead of ridiculous "rankings" like US News, people will realize that there are SEVERAL "great" schools in the SEC who put out a ton of great research and educational opportunities.
Rankings like us news and world report don't consider "academics" at all. They just play the numbers game.

A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn't diagnosed until she was in labor.
"I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot," Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby's blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children's Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child "functionally cured," meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven't been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud's team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. "Maybe we'll be able to block this reservoir seeding," Persaud said
Well according to this quote it actually seems like the UMMC doctor decided to do this by herself and that the doctor from john Hopkins just investigated it to see if it was true and the perform further research to see if this could be used in other cases ...
So yeah your wrong.

Well, I think the pharmaceutical company would make a few dollars if they did actually came up with a cure. The problem is everybody throws the term "cancer" around like it is one thing. All types of cancer are different and many have different mutations.

reading the actual abstract for that one type of cancer in a mouse...it didn't even "cure" it. Just slowed down the cancer's growth. Gotta love misleading headlines.

Nice try, but no.

Clinical trials in humans could begin soon after Hawthorne secures funding.
People need to do research about Clinical trials. The average drug takes around a billion dollars and 12 years to get through FDA approval. This appears to be a different edition of a currently used tactic (radiation), so maybe it can be expedited through the process.
If Mizzou can't find funding for low cost stage I trials, i find it hard to believe that they could scrounge up the funding to do a stage III multi million dollar, multi year clinical trial. In addition, most fail and don't even make it to stage III.
Kudos to Mizzou for this though. The more techniques and treatment types we push through the system, the more likely that a real cure will be found.

Didn't Mizzou just spend a ton of money upgrading the nuclear reactor? Maybe they'll let this one slide to recuperate the expenses.

actually the real work in this 'cure' was put in the the UAB CFAR (Center for Aids Research), which invented the modern Aids treatments that reduce virus load in the blood to undetectable and untransmitable levels. All that was done in the case of the baby was to flood the system with massive doses of these drugs early on before the virus could set up dormancy in the memory t-cells, where the treatments cant reach. Its just a mild extension of the current treatments. There is a ton of work going on with cancer drugs that seem to reactivate the dormant viruses, which allows the drug cocktail to reach them.

Yea its crazy what it costs, and that a drug only has to have positive results twice to get approved. Pharma industry is one f'd up place these days.

Evidently we share the same disease. Because a rebuttal normally includes facts.

If it costs $1B to bring a new drug to market, what are they spending that $1B on?
It can't be clinical trials according to you, because it "just has to work twice."
