first question has to be whether the cats were truly positive to start with: an ifa done 120 days after last possible date of exposure. otherwise, there's no way of knowing that the cats wouldn't throw off the virus themselves. three to six weeks after treatment, which may or may not have been started immediately after first test, would well be enough time for that to happen spontaneously.
now is this supposedly for FeLV, or FIV? at the end, it states that, "These cat experiments are the first to demonstrate that AIDS can be cured in an in vivo model." AIDS is a human disease, it is not a feline one. no veterinary professional refers to FIV as AIDS--so immediately i'm suspicious, and again, confused, as it starts out talking about curing FeLV. how many times were the cats administered this treatment? if more than once, at what interval? i think that depo is a wonder drug in many cases, and have used it successfully for stomatitis for a number of years. so i'm not against the possibility, just would like more info. i have no idea what NAC is, would like more info. actually, i'd like more info in general. are there clinical trials going on? has the guy contacted the main FeLV/FIV researchers to help with that?
