There is a new drug combination that cured 100% of genotype 1 (most prevalent) and 91% of genotype 2, 3 WITHOUT interferon OR ribavirin. But the sad news is the two drug companies with this life-saving combination have refused to work together because of “profit concerns”. The companies are Gilead Sciences & Bristol-Myers Squibb and the drugs are GS-7977+daclatasvir. Over 170 million suffer with this deadly disease. We have started a petition at Change.org urging these two companies to move forward with Phase III trials ASAP. Without your help, millions will continue to suffer needlessly and many will die. Please sign the petition at the link below & ask everyone you know to sign as well.
