My good friend is at the NIH right now on a 22day hospitalization to test a 
drug called Pentosan Polysulphate. He said this drug had been used in europe 
for 30 years but Gallo is now interested in it. It's too soon to tell 
anything. But I will keep you posted.

For those of you who believe we are now in "superhuman research and testing 
modes", I have learned that that is pure horseshit. There are a total of 5 
AIDS patients at the NIH being tested for various items. My friend is the only 
patient currently undergoing this particular phase I trial.
