Thanks to everyone who sent in questions earlier in the day and many thanks to everyone who came back after the server was rendered lifeless. Crashed hard by so many thousands who showed up at 8 EST to listen.

I'm impressed..finally some intelligent conversation ..thank you for the great questions..I've been saying for several days that the delay has alot to do with the appointment of the new commissioner and Dr Carter just stated that. The senate just confirmed Dr Hamburg on 05/18, one week before the original decision date of 05/25..Lots of changes are going on with the FDA thru no fault of HEB's...I'm buying more on Monday !!

Great interview M.E.Garza. This is a very comprehensive answer from Dr. Carter. It has only strengthened my resolve that Ampligen will get FDA approval soon.

You are all very welcome. I'm not sure if it will be posted on Google (next to the price ticker on googlefinance). Many of our stories are (see SPPI), but it seems like someone at google has been editing many of the positive news items for HEB. I know that sounds crazy, but I've gotten many emails and seen postings across the net about this.

I wish you could do a real investigation job and find those "japan sources" to obtain interview from THEM - or at least original japanese publication from a different source than HEB - Carter in fact can say everything, investigation (your job) should confirm this FROM OTHER SOURCES please !!

Great interview....A clear approval and within days. Only a mere delay with FDA due to internal reasons.

what a gigantic short interest, heb will skyrocket to 20 like dndn (and this was only good data and not approval) if fda approval on monday. this number has increased up to 10 mln to date in my opinion. so thats why there is alot of negative press around there. remember af was the guy to give dndn a price tag of 1 dollar before the news that dndn endpoints were met.

Thank you, ME Garza, for chosing my single question as one of the 3-4 you put to Dr. Carter.

While I knew full well no body --- not Dr. Carter, not us, or any one else --- can do any thing about the FDA's delay, about FDA delays in general, I wanted to gauge Dr. Carter and HEB's reactions to the delay, especially one that, according to HEB was in explicit disregard for the FDA's own institutional reputation. Again, I knew Dr. Carter would be no more privy to the FDA's mysterious working nature as we are...

And, yet, to me these instances show why the new FDA chief/commissioner, Dr. Hamburg, initiated a committee to explore ways WITH the FDA, so as to enble the agency to be more TRANSPARENT in its activities, so that it won't be this mysterious, where they can tell us definite time-lines "between 1 to 2 weeks" and totally disregarded them, pretending the time-lines, or deadlines, or appointments, were NEITHER given NOR important...

To me, this kind of disregard for one's own timeline in decision-making activities that affect millions in many ways... it is not to be tolerated.

As I noted in my question which you put to Dr. Carter, we do NOT expect an aswer/decision we want. But we should expect common courtesy from agencies working on our behalf. If they're going to delay meetings or decisions FURTHER, it is common courtesy to tell the public why.

And I just found out, through a case with Savient Pharmaceuticals KRYSTEXXA drug, that the FDA DOES SPEAK TO THE PUBLIC on drugs UNDER REVIEW!

The FDA Friday, 6/12, came out to the public to announce, more or less, that they had a difficult time with KRYSTEXXA. The agency's doctors/decision makers SEEM to think the data show promises, good enough to pass, but yet it is still not comfortable enough, so chances are, the agency said, it will convene a panel of experts from OUTSIDE of the agency to gauge their professional expertiese, before making any decision --- whether in the drug's approval, rejection, or in asking for further data...

That, to me, is VERY PUBLIC! So, again, we know the FDA DOES TALK about drugs under its review. This nonsense --- every time we call the agency --- about "we don't talk about drugs under review" is BS, now we know unequivocally. To me, this is very valuable information.

Again, I hope the new commisioner, Dr. Hamburg, do something to make this agency more user-friendly, more responsive to its customers, US, and acts and behaves more professionally, taking/treating the public, private and public insitutions, and other entities with more regard and common courtesy...

Again, thank you, ME Garza,

Her Lao

re "google has been editing many of the positive news items for HEB" That is true. Saw one from StocksHaven via PR-inside on Friday display for 5 mins then Google removed it. Funny how negative ones from TheStreet dont get pulled though. Fcuk google.

It was great to have such interview. However, Dr. Carter had not really provided any critical information regarding the FDA delay situation. Is he going to just wait indefinitely? Even though he may not able to get any definite answer from FDA, I will still want to know that he has aggressively contacted FDA about the delay instead of sidetracked to other potential opportunties which are not helping to calm down the immediate concern of investors. If the interview has actually provided any critical info or planned action about the the delay situation, please correct me.
