    Never mind Gilead’s mind-numbing prices. Here is the politicians’ answer to our HCV dilemma:

    Thank you all for your help. My friend is paying close attention to these posts.
    As you say, getting in the the US doesn’t appear to be an issue. I am just at a loss about gettimg a package out of another country.
    Keep those suggestions coming!

    I have a question:
    Someone I know has his meds in a friends possession in the UK and wants them sent to the U.S. He has no prescription and can’t fly there and pick them up.
    What should he do?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    DHL or Fed Ex either one. Make sure the waybill is clearly labeled as to the contents, all the appropriate MSDS forms are completed and “life-saving” medicines is listed. Either shipper will know what needs to be filled out to make sure the package gets to you.
    It may beat you home!
    E mail (see below) if you have more questions.
    Glad for you!
    Mike

    Get rid of the virus. Assess the damage. Drink (or not) accordingly.
    No doctor am I.
    I’m not going to screw up my new-found health. I will drink moderate amounts of really fine libations if my wife doesn’t kill me for even thinking about it…
    Oh well..

    I now am suffering from eczema. I have not suffered from it until the last couple of years. It seems to be worse since I started treatment. This has kept it under control for me of late:

    Reputable companys will ship quality generics into the U.S. without a prescription. Customs and the FDA don’t appear to be an issue. If a person’s meds get detained, an online script from GP2U and a letter of need to the FDA should get them undetained. I am not a doctor or a lawyer, but it appears we have access to affordable treatment in the U.S.
    We simply need doctors who will monitor treatment. Maybe Dr. James could twist some arms from afar.

    Yes,
    We would have to have a doctor, but I think a doctor would not be able to prescribe drugs produced by non-FDA approved companies. It looks like, and I have done some looking, that the Vietnamese strategy of the “tiger and the elephant” is going to have to suffice for now. That or the Mexican drug cartels need to put some DAA’s in their catalogs.
    The big problem, in my opinion, is that most people in the U.S. don’t care and the people who do-those affected by HCV-won’t speak out in a manner that will cause change.
    The people with money-those in power- can afford the drugs.
    The poor can get them paid for by various assistance programs if they know how to access them.
    The people in the middle need to be resourceful, willing to take risks and bend a few regulations. Then, they too can access treatment.
    Sadly, many people are lacking one or more of these qualities.
    Onward through the fog…
