Would you date someone with HIV?

Point is, if you don't have a zombie plan you're just meat.

And a decoy for me. So don't plan anything.



That movie looks as crappy as it gets. I need to check it out.

Donald Sutherland has a pretty solid history of selecting less than solid films.

Haha, yeah, coincidence or conspirasy? YOU decide!

Depends. Wanna see my slug?

I had totally, totally pushed that film into the dark, dark recesses of my brain until your postings. Congrats on digging up something that otherwise should've stayed long, long dead.

That's a bad yet classic film

Boy did this thread get de-railed.




On a side note, anyone ever read "Behold A Pale Horse"?

If ever there were a top 10 derails, perhaps this should be there.

Just one of the many forms available to us. In addition to processed food and wAter. 50 percent of everyone we know we most likely die of cancer or heart disease. How cheap is it to eat food that won't kill you? You need to fear science not satan.

50% of people we know? I do love all these unsubstantiated "facts" people love to throw around. :scowl: And "processed water"? Do explain that one please. Seriously, a link to an article supporting such alarmist claims would add credibility.

Does the other 50% live forever, or are they being eliminated a different way?

 

[DeathFromBelow]

Death is certain, life is not. Yeah...

Hopefully major pharmaceutical companies wont withhold the cure for diarrhea of the mouth so we can cure you.

They have a cure, but they'd rather just treat some of the symptoms for a lot of money.

Ahem,

"“While these results are exciting, they do not yet indicate that the men have been cured,” said Timothy Henrich, one of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital doctors who treated the patients"

Straight from the source.

Yes, and straight from the source, it also says that the Berlin Patient has so far been living for 5 years without symptoms of HIV, or without detectable amounts of it in his blood.

Timothy Ray Brown, the “Berlin patient,” was the first person reported to be cured of HIV. He has shown no signs of infection for five years since receiving a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia.

I never said they were cured, or that there is a cure for it yet, however progress is definitely being made toward the development of a cure. More importantly, these two new patients were given bone marrow from donors who did not have the genetic mutation the original Berlin patient's donors did, which is a big step toward understanding how to cure and treat this disease.

This, coupled with the announcement that doctors in 2012 treated a young girl with leukemia via a de-militarized version of the HIV virus means that scientists, almost certainly funded by large corporations, are indeed working toward cures, and not just new drugs to treat symptoms.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Just making sure you read it thoroughly

It's definitely good news and forward progress, but it's too early to say this is the be all, end all cure.

Oh hell no. I do not want to die. Stay in the friend zone. That's the rare occasion where the friend zone is a much more desirable location. Don't do it. Wow...

 

[scorpionldr]

They'd cure things if they could. Some of y'all need to take some pathophys or something instead of reading blog sites.

HOW would one cure these diseases?

Ever read how much profit goes to research organizations after they have a "walk for ______(insert whatever disease)"?

Everyone has to get their cut. And then the funding for your cure? Well, after all that you can afford to cure puddly's worth. That's "how" we DON'T cure them so far.

"Could" comes with a cost. For the guy that invents for the cure, for the distribution, for the replication, for (the perceived) guarantee it'll work.

Money is something a lot of people don't have. And the dollar is king in the business.
