| "Nutra Pharma Corp., (OTCBB:NPHC) a biotechnology holding company that
owns rights to intellectual property related to the development of
drugs for HIV and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has announced that their
continuing microarray studies have identified a new gene involved in
the disease process of Multiple Sclerosis."
Have you seen this press release? Nutra Pharma has some pretty
incredible news coming out...full article at http://www.nutrapharma.com

| Dude;
I did a Google seach of Nutra Pharma, and red flags starting going up
on this joint.
This is from their corporate home page:
>Mission Statement
>Nutra Pharma's goal is to become the >most profitable Biotechnology holding >company in the US. We will >accomplish this by identifying and >acquiring intellectual property and >operations in the biotechnology arena >that is synergistic with our current
>holdings and is licensable in the short >term.
Sounds like their "mission" is to make dough. LOTS of dough. Nothing
about their research. . .just acquiring the rights to the research of
others. They just want to be the Starbuck or the Microsoft of the
drugs for MS and HIV markets.
And right at the bottom was an area in which you could go invest in
their noble endeavors. . .doesn't sound very scientific to me.
Actually, it sounds like a big scam.

| If the results are published in any reputable "scientific" journal, it
is probably a positive advancement. As for making money, this is a
money-grubbing country and anything is fair game in a capitalist
economy. That "Mission Statement" is the same Yadda,Yadda of any
corporate entity in the U.S..
Gene expression means a treatment that is highly specific. This not
just trying to turn down the "overactive immune system"
(cortico-steroids) or using poision (Chemo meds) to club it to
death-this is about affecting the disease at a cellular level-where it
affects us.
I'm as cynical and frustrated as any of us, but something like this
almost gives me a smidgen of hope. I'd jump at a chance to get in on a
clinical trial of something like this seems to promise.

This is the only message you have ever posted to usenet using a Yahoo
address. It makes me think you might be a sock puppet.

| Thanks for the info -- I agree with you on some of that, but at the
same time, they do have good research going on...my feeling is that
regardless of financial objectives, good for them for doing something
that will help the world..lol, unlike starbucks, who keeps taking my
money ;)
