Potential Breakthrough in Curing AIDS Found by Brigham Young University Researchers
Posted on | February 7, 2006
Researchers at Brigham Young University may have finally found the breakthrough needed to rid the world of AIDS. The process hinges on compounds called Ceragenins or CSAs that mimic disease-fighting agents in a normal immune system. This particular CSA, CSA-54 latched onto HIV molecules and disrupts their ability to attack T-Cells. The best part is that CSA-54 appears to be unselective about the strain of HIV it kills. Delivery of CSA-54 is also pretty unselective as well.
Estimates are that, after further animal testing and trials in humans, CSA-54 will be in available in three to seven years. Let us hope that the FDA will do everything within its power in order to speed that up.
As much as I despise BYU for its secret use of aversion therapy to "cure" homosexuality, I will give the institution the credit it is due.

“The political, social, and religious rantings of a gay man pissed off at society”
just a thought…
even a cursory reading of current self-help literature shows that when we’re angry at the world, we are really just angry at ourselves.
