To bad it will take at least a decade or more before any health insurance covers such a procedure

That article is very, very vague...

It says he was diagnosed in 2007...So that's a whole 4 years that went by...

It dosen't say how long ago he received his treatment...But it's still only a few years...

It also dosen't mention his current medications...

So, for them to make such an audacious statement in such a short amount of time is not only reckless on the part of those MD's, but also a little crazy...They need to re-evaluate him for a few years, and then they can say with more certainty that this patient "cured"...

Lets see...the AIDS cure was based on a person who has an incredibly rare birth defect and represents a tiny portion of the population. That person, donated his bone marrow and a cure was upon us.

That bone marrow person was DIFFERENT, and shows that the diversity of humans is a special thing and a gift to the rest of us.

I hope they never *cure* people that are different, but people begin to understand that being different is a good thing.

I didn't see that, good link...

But it dosen't change the fact that the time period is incredibly small, and any respectable physician wouldn't put his name on the line with a such a statement until at least 5-10 years have passed...

Anybody who has ever had cancer will back up this statement...Remission is a better word at this point...

I'd vote for dormancy over remission... considering it's a virus.
