Exactly 86! That's my overall response too
Calling all suspects to get moving !
Re people who had ordered remember that the suppliers here act in integrity and and there are other great sources as well so get a move on !
I hope this has the effect that some of those horses actually drink the water now instead of hangin dry at the mounting yard.

(Acknowledged this is a scare but not the end for anyone who has a hiccup in their timeline yes)

REDEMPTION meds WILL be delivered. Period

Tina, would you or anyone else mind posting a link to Greg's post.

Disturbing news. though its not unexpected Gilead is trying to shut down generics
sure we may have some delays long term this is not going to stop.

That said, I do think if you're in a position to buy now you should do so now.

Extremely sad and feel sorry after this news.These parcels which are detained, are they the commercial ones? or even the parcels which had just 3 bottles were detained?

a link of Gregs post could be very helpful.

Mike, I meant a link to the story about India stopping generics by Greg.

Its on his blog. That's the link. It's the final post. Here it is:

13th February 2016

Bad News. Indian generics being blocked.
Well I was hoping that I would not ever have to write what I am writing now but it is not unexpected.
This week all shipments by two major Indian suppliers of Indian generic Hep C medicines have blocked at the airports by Indian customs.
In conjuction with DHL the shipments leaving India are being seized by Indian Customs.
Whether they will be released or not is another question??
One major supplier has already ceased shipments as the costs of having the shipments seized and not released mount up. This is mixed with the fear of prosecution.
It seems that Big Pharma is not going to allow the poor peoples of the world to access affordable Hepatitis C treatment.
They will have to pay the full, obscene price or die.
The evil persons who run these huge multinationals, and their minions, are determined to profit from the suffering of others and they have not been idle.
Big Pharma's cruel servants have been moving behind the scenes with their blood and tear stained money and buying favours where it counts. Now they launch their counter attack, blocking access to the affordable generic Hep C treatment coming out of India.
Perhaps it will be a temporary victory for them, perhaps not.
So we may just have to turn back to Bangladesh.

Hi Mike that's good news - our liver clinic team in NZ is shocked by these developments and are understandably very nervous for the patients expecting them. Did you hear this news regarding the REDEMPTION meds via Doc?

The timing of these detainments is interesting given this announcement:

economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/econom...cleshow/50939989.cms

It seems India wanted in on the TPP, maybe they are still looking for an invite, as TPP will be expanded over time. I'm sure this agreement will include TPP like regulations as well.

I have told people in the U.S. and elsewhere that REDEMPTION meds would be delivered. If shipments originating in India were detained, they would be getting another from somewhere else.
Let's just say I have a very reliable source and go from there. Send an email if you need further assurance.

Cool! thanks for the reassurance Mike.

I think Darbara's idea has merit.
India is a huge country and different states have varying degrees of autonomy. I discovered this for myself when researching medical tourism in Delhi as opposed to medical tourism in Goa.

I am not talking about trying to get away with anything that is even technically illegal. I think it is quite possible that in some states in India it would be fine to ship the meds.

The Facebook page is full of fear it would be awesome for people to just relax and take a deep breath and listen to the sensible advice;
Greg and team, James and team, Mike and others who are in the middle of this are people of high ethic. There are so many scared people on the Facebook this morning when I looked I can't answer it. I'm just not qualified to do it. The group is Hep without Borders and Gregs work is, as we know, a testament to helping others simply to act and be their own boss rather than waiting for what might take too long (I am trying to be nice in saying it this way, it may never happen for some )
I am wondering if the Facebookers could be reassured? Somebody here with a strong profile on that page apart from Greg who no doubt will be inundated could help?
Like Mike said this is a hiccup but overcome-able but yes please act now and take charge fence sitters shouldn't that be the message? I feel like its my job only to encourage others to seek treatment no matter what my sx are blah blah I feel that we have a responsibility to just give weight to the good oil and to always keep trying to assist others to make the decision to act.
Myself, I don't have much fbk profile.
I feel like I am repeating myself but the only way I see this is to urge people to be calm to trust and to get moving toward their cure.
Thanks to all who have added information here about this alarm announced yesterday I was shocked as we all were.
Anyhoo
Good morning from Oz to all my friends here from Ariel
Clearly I am concerned this is the first thing I looked at this morning
Now for the cryptic crossword which I love

Thanks Ariel,
Can you believe I don't have a face on a book, I'm not linked in with anybody, never unsta'd a gram or tweeted like a bird. I am basically a very private person who tries to lead a very private, adventurous, fun and exciting life and just enjoy the hell out of it with close friends.
But now HCV comes along and upsets my whole carefully loaded apple cart.
So, here I am and glad of it.
Everyone just needs to relax. Indian exports are a recent development. The restriction is very likely the result of money being placed in the right hands for some very wrong reasons.
Gilead had to have planned for this when the Indian deal was in the making.
The original, non-Indian sources are secure. The meds are moving and I would imagine a Plan B has already been put in place for dealing with recent events.
This situation simply screams: "The cure is available! What are you waiting for??"
I am doing everything I can to pass that along.
Maybe this bad thing is a good thing in disguise.
Maybe people will begin to realize that things could be far worse.
Maybe they could be like they were 6 months ago. No hope. Then hope. Then rumors of people going places "In Search of Sovaldi".
To summarize, I would simply say one thing: Relax, but get off your backside and get your medicine. Or,
move to Australia.

I think the only advice you can give is for them to wait a few days till we see how customs in
India intends to deal with the medication they are hanging on too.

As Mike said, FixHepC has the ability to source from multiple countries anyone who is in Redemption
is fine, I know that's not great for anyone else who is waiting till we know more from there everyone
will have to have some faith.
