Rintatolimod(Ampligen) has been undergoing FDA trials for over two decades and has benefited a great number of patients to no end and without ill effect.
An FDA Advisory Committee has recently seen fit to block marketing of Ampligen, even though they voted it safe for approval. Instead of encouraging drug companies to pinpoint the subset(s) of people who respond so well, theyexpect sponsors to attract millions of dollars without a return.Ampligen is safe and has been available in places like Canada and Brussels for 17 years.There is no alternative.
We urge the FDA toApprove Ampligen now.
Thanks to the efforts of people like patient/advocate Mr. Robert Miller, the FDA is inviting patients to attend its ME/CFS Stakeholder Workshopon April 25 and 26, 2013.

I have had CFS for decades. One of my children has it as well. Been in and out of doctor's offices in desperation for years until finally diagnosed at the Mayo. Please give us the opportunity to live productive lives.
I am 74 a have suffered 40 years since I had infectious mono. I was hospitalized 2 was. I had a temp of 105 they had a difficult time getting down. I am home bound most of the time. I would like to live healthier for whatever time I have left.
My son became ill at 16 after a viral infection that never went away. He has been sick for 10 years and he has not benefited from any treatment. Please don't deny him the possibility of benefiting from Ampligen.
My son has been diagnosed with this disease after always being healthy. He has already lost the last year and 1/2 of his life. He has no treatment now. Please approve so he can finish his last semester in college and get on with his life.
I am stunned at the refusal of the FDA to give ampligen fast track status after all the patients reports of how it helps them. The lack of compassion and inaction is shocking . We asked for help and were refused.Decide again,dont leave us untreated.
Please approve Ampligen. I want my life back. And so does the 20 millions worldwide that are suffering from ME this is not living. Our lives have hit the pause button.
I have ME/CFS and need a treatment

I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for a year now, preventing me from working full time hours and living a full life. Please accelerate the process for this drug. There is no alternative on the market for people like me.
