I don’t have time to address the qualifications paper right now.

However, about people tending to follow rules and accept status quo, I don’t think it’s so much conditioning as hard wired temperament. I made this point several weeks ago in a private comment to Emilio, but I’ll say it openly here because we have a very large potential problem coming.

The demographic we are seeing on this forum is not representative of the population at large. The people here doing most of the talking and taking action on their own behalf are mostly from the ~20% of the population known as “Intuitives,” either Idealists like Greg Jefferys or Rationals like Dr. Freeman. We tend to think for ourselves and outside the box, and are far more willing to challenge authority than are the ~80% of the population known as “Sensors.”

Sensors tend to need rules and an authority chain to guide their decisions, or simply let someone else decide for them. While Intuitives tend to derive their sense of right and wrong from some philosophical position, Sensors tend to see it based on custom and tradition and the orders sent down the authority chain. It’s not that they can’t understand, it’s that they’re not inclined to try.

To make matters worse, most of the people in bureaucratic positions tend to be Feeler Guardians, the most authority chain driven of them all. They are actually threatened by anyone who would dare to think outside the box or challenge their holy authority chain.

To get the Sensors to take action for themselves will be difficult and we’ll need to be able to show some serious credibility … we’ll need to appear as the voice of authority. And after that they’ll likely be needing their hands held the whole way.

I’m not bringing this up to be condescending to them, I’m bringing this up because I’m very concerned about what will happen when we start succeeding in reaching the larger numbers out there and they simply can’t figure the whole process out by reading this forum. There are not enough of us here to hold all their hands.

We’ve got to get their decision trees worked out such that they can easily follow them and we have to do it before the big numbers start hitting.

What country?

Well …. I had the first of a three shot Hep A/B vaccine back in 2005 I think … then travel plans changed and I forgot about finishing the series.

My blood tests in August included A/B antibody tests and I showed no immunity so on my next visit on September 14 they gave me my first dose of a new three shot treatment. The doctor knew I was headed off to find my generics and that I wouldn’t be back for a while and he said it was fine.

But I was gone longer than planned. Started my generics on October 18, got my next blood tests on December 1 and saw the doctor on December 16 and was given my second shot in the series … doctor was unconcerned about the time lapse. Will be getting my EOT blood drawn on the 11th and see the doctor again on the 18th and will get the final A/B shot at that time.

Did you get a certificate of analysis with the Daklinza?

I’m pretty sure that its only purpose with the generics is to prove they tested it and to show the customs official if its importation is questioned.

Ummm …. I got my meds from Kingswood and got the same copy of the certificate of analysis.

Call me crazy, but …. I’m willing to state with extremely high confidence that the quality of Kingswood’s photocopier/printer will have no impact on the effectiveness of Mesochem’s APIs.

Edit: To put GAJ’s number into a time perspective, to get the same quantity of alcohol as in one shot glass by taking one pill of Daclatasvir daily would require a treatment duration of 120 years plus 200 days.

Edit II: Oops, I made a mistake … Using the Gregorian calendar it would only be 120 years and 170.9 days.

More than anyone else, it’s the accountants that are pushing for the shorter treatments. With the price of generics that is much less necessary.

Read the trial results for yourself, or read what Dr. Freeman himself has said on the subject in this forum. There are quite a number of incredibly well informed people here … we’ve been reading for ourselves rather than cowering before authority.

I can tell you this for a fact: Four and three months ago respectively, neither my GI doctor in the US nor my GI doctor in Thailand were aware of the differences in treatment recommendations between the US establishment and the EU establishment. I told my specialists what was going on, not the other way around.

Edit: For clarification, this was in response to Seymour way up the thread.

Actually to the best of my knowledge the Buyers Club has never shipped outside of Australia.
It’s my (possibly mistaken) understanding that Dr. Freeman negotiated with MonkMed.com specifically to handle international shipment of the REDEMPTION eTrials meds.

I’m more concerned about the website/forum going silent with nobody here to help the new people showing up, and no activity to keep currently active members engaged.

And actually, yes there is still potential need for generics in Australia … we’ll see when the details come out. But I bet many people would pay for their own second 12 weeks of Darvoni to avoid using Riba. And also if the standard treatment calls for 8 weeks people would be fools to not buy another 4 weeks out of their own pocket. We’ll see.

No, no … the only shipper we lost (or MAY have lost) is Mesochem from China. There are far, far more options now.

Check the map at MonkMed.com (check the thread) to see where they ship Indian Meds … the US is clearly on the list.
Also, check the threads for Incepta, Beacon and Julphar for contact info for trusted shippers … I suspect you can find a way to get your meds from any one of those three to shipped to the US.
