  Hello, Hawkaw

  I really don't want to talk anymore about this anymore. Everyone can go read the articles at TheStreet.com, go into the chat sites such as Yahoo's site, phone the company and phone and talk to TheStreet.com press people like I did. Maybe you might want to reveal to the board about who has been alleged to be working with Biopure.

  I can understand why you no longer wish to talk about the subject raised by yourself.

  You speak of those articles from TheStreet as though they are the final word. They are not. Is the information good? It may very well be good, neither of us has any sure way of knowing, at least of its implications. But that does not mean Hemopure will never be approved.

  Please keep in mind that Hemopure has a variety of possible medical applications, and any one of them could receive US FDA approval. There are several possibilities:

  1. All tested Hemopure uses will be approved
  2. Some tested Hemopure uses will be approved
  3. Yet untested Hemopure uses will on day be approved
  4. No Hemopure application will ever be approved

  You have asserted possibility 4.

  The problem with your adamant assertion from articles in TheStreet is that the physicians quoted can, at most, speak to no more than medical applications of Hemopure they are familiar with. The problem there is that some applications of Hemopure are yet untested in the least! Which means no competent physician could possibly venture any assertions at all about THOSE possible applications of the agent. That is why "never" is, in this case, such a big, BIG assertion on anyone’s part, including yours.

  Considering how far Hemopure has come along, I would be stunned if not a single use of the product was ever approved by the FDA. More than likely Biopure will continue to analyze and tweak its hemoglobin solution in order to improve the possibility of some FDA approval. Just how you can be so cocksure when even the FDA has yet to make a determination is not fully understood by me. And I sure do not understand your persistent absolute assertion based on what is found in TheStreet.

  BTW, no one, including me, has discouraged readers from considering ANY evidence on the subject at hand. Quite the contrary, most here (bar Fred and a few other goofs!) are rightly compelled to consider all legitimate sources of information on issues of importance to them.

  One final thought: Saying Hemopure will never gain permanent approval is DIFFERENT than saying it will never gain approval. You asserted the latter, not the former. Also, saying Hemopure will never gain FDA approval is DIFFERENT from saying Hemopure will never gain approval. Again, you asserted the latter, not the former. That the latter is a false statement is proved by Hemopure’s approval in South Africa, permanent or not. And, how exactly is any or us to know if an agent will ultimately gain PERMANENT approval? For all we know 200 years from now aspirin will loose its FDA approval for specified medical uses because of yet unforeseen reasons!

  I am not "brushing off" what is found in TheStreet. I am not the one making absolute assertions, you are. I feel what is found in TheStreet should be considered in conjunction with ALL other data, afterward making balanced conclusions. At this time my conclusion is it is too soon to know if Hemopure will gain FDA approval for all applied uses, or any of them. Whether other uses will one day gain FDA approval is totally unknown.

  This subject demands balance, and precision.
