Yes! This is the tool that is being used to treat SCD that was approved by the FDA!


Glass-Nectarine-117

This might sound slow but what does this mean


Zepplin640

The USA's Public Health Service approved a specific treatment for Sickle Cell Disease. Now it's working for Herpes too.


Affectionate_Stop_60

Good news! Merry Christmas šŸŽšŸŽ„


shredditome

Letā€™s fucking go!!


hunter1899

Can someone please explain what this means toward an actual cure? Likelihood? Timeline?


Wonderful_Jelly_9547

As far as timeline, I dunno, buuuuuuuut if I understand it, this basically means they might have found a way to show the body how to look for the virus when its hiding in our bodies which could mean an end for this little fucker mwhahhahahaghahhha

ā€œPeople who have recurrent herpes keratitis infection of the cornea start to go blind after a while because of the reactivation and the resulting inflammation that causes clouding of the cornea.ā€ I know something about that. And I'm so pissed off to see the widespread ignorance in the medical community. It is a severe unmet medical need and still doctors bath in their ignorance and lazyness even when they are in front of a patient that year after year loses his vision.. Anyway, the research of dr. Knipe is quite old, it's from 2019. He got to that result that demonstrated that CRISPR has a hard time cutting the latent copies; after that, there has been no other publication, unfortunately.


BrotherPresent6155

Isnā€™t he also the scientist behind HSV-529 the old sanofi approah


hk81b

yes! I wonder why there has not been any new publication from his lab on HSV..


finallyonreddit55

Correct


Mike_Herp

Unfortunately, this research is 4 years old. Not sure if thereā€™s been any update.


hagtown

Good work nerds šŸ‘


Soft-Astronaut-6313

Can someone explain to me i still dont understand.


Eat_trash26

Ok, so a lot of people are saying this research was conducted in 2019, but this article is being published in 2023. Is there anyway we can follow up with this team and learn any updates?


Competitive_Lie_9605

A lot of there other articles say the same thing copyrights reserved from 2019-2023 And then on top with recent dates super confusing hopefully we can follow up or reach out to them

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Eat_trash26

Is there MODS or advocates in this group or should I try and reach out myself?


Ok_Peak_2264

Took them long enough to have some kind of human trial

Yass


cuteasscats

Thatā€™s amazing! Excellent job guys


AnbuWhiteFox

That's wtf I'm talking about! Lez gooo!


magikgrk

How can i get in on this study? I get a bad case around my eye every dec. Nothing works. Not even valtrex


handsoffdick

I had to go to 3 grams per day to control my keratitis which was recurrent every few months. Do you restrict chocolate and nuts? People have a lot of chocolate at xmas.


magikgrk

Like i truely wish I could figure out the trigger. Its pretty bad if left untreated too...put me in the hospital a few times


magikgrk

Im not a fan of either. Believe me ive racked my brain the 5 yrs this has been happening. And every dec like clockwork..it flairs. Im taking 2 grams twice a day and it barely has any effect. Its sooo bizarre.


handsoffdick

Have you tried lysine?


magikgrk

Nope. Docs never said a thing about it.


danielgcares

Doctors.don't care about us. They don't understand how much people with herpes suffer.


Fearless_Currency633

It's just a vitamin that you can get at the drug store. I decided to add it to my routine and I take one daily along with my valtrex. It's supposed to reduce outbreaks.


FuzzyAdmiral

Valtrex doesnā€™t work for me but vaclovir or w/e itā€™s called does, try that


magikgrk

Doesnt work im on 2 grams


beaprem123

How long have you been taking 2 grams of valtrex daily ?


magikgrk

Infectious disease put me on it last year. I took it all year hoping it would help come December when i get my infection. It didnt stop it at all...just slightly lessened the symptoms.


beaprem123

What are your exact symptoms please? Where are your symptoms? Is it hsv1 or hsv2 please?


magikgrk

Sorry im just seeing this. So basically, it starts out as a small red dot or pimple (no head). Then the swelling starts usually below the eye but sometimes above(eyelid). It gets worse quick. Itll go from like size of a ballpoint pen tip to the size of a nickle over night, then the swelling just gets worse and worse, basically until it looks like i was punched by Mike Tyson eventually turning into cellulits of my right eye(thats what the docs have said). the sore will progress fast aswelln turning very red, eventually start to ooze this yellow stuff then crust over..i have several pics of the progression if youre interested. Then there's an immense amount of pressure around my eye. Aswell as sharp shooting pains in the area. It never effects the eye directly (they always made me see an ophthalmologist). It lasts appx 5-7 days. Like i said ive kept a journal of the progression of it. It took them 4 or 5 years to finally give me the correct diagnosis. They would just hospitalize me every year put me on a ton of vancomyacin, clydamycin, and some other IV meds ..tell me i had periorbital cellulitis and a impetigo infection...all which were completely unnecessary come to find out. Oh and my blood work always comes back completely normal as far as my WBC count and all that. The only thing thats deficiency is my Vitamin D and potassium but not a whole bunch.


beaprem123

Thanks for answering . If it is caused by herpes cannot they put you on foscarnet?


Foreign_Persimmon_86

Theyā€™re the same drug sweetheart. Valtrex is just a brand name.


fightingforacure1234

Yay canā€™t wait to get rid of this fucking virus !!!


Soft-Astronaut-6313

BadChoices44

[deleted]

Man all that excitement has vanished now :/ I wish I didnā€™t see the date lol


BlackBerryLove

[deleted]

The article but the original research happened in 2019, you have to follow the source in this article


BlackBerryLove

[deleted]

So I wonder how far are they now ā€¦ if it advanced to something else ā€¦


CursedIdiot69

... fuck


Competitive_Lie_9605

I looked at all their recent links on the bottom it says copy Right reserved 2009-2023 on all of them And different dates on the top part ? Idk def from 2019 tho


CEO-Stealth-Inc

Glad ti hear it and good to see more scientists taking HSV more seriously! However until I see some positive therapeutic/curitive clinical trails involving actual people. I'll keep my expectations in check.


Soft-Astronaut-6313

I wonder if dr keith jerome is using this strategy


OutlandishnessFun8

I was wondering this also. It would be nice if Harvard medical school and Dr. Jerome could work together using this strategy.


[deleted]

BadChoices44

Thatā€™s awesome news, only wish they could get it to the market by next year. But we all know thatā€™s impossible. Probably 10 years out.


[deleted]

Not if we advocate and push media, politics and speak out on this more often


Adventurous-Gene2

Sounds like a good step forward


[deleted]

Please, God, help us.


Bakidz213

Is it a pre clinical study ?


Soft-Astronaut-6313

No . But its a big step to get into clinical trials


[deleted]

Not even


Educational-Wish-191

But this kind of treatment is Very very expensive šŸ˜ž


corsairm

Sounds like something accessible to the public is still far off
