Scott, Karl (and anyone else),
I can only speak for myself here....Through a lot of rational points made on this board as well as with my own research into a cure for my son, I must say that encapsulation seems to be the way to go.
What I am not clear on (and perhaps it would help your efforts) is....what would it take? If you had the resources, how long?
I have heard a lot of complaints about this-and-that and lack of funding and such (not necessarily you), but I have not heard anyone say, "We need X $'s and believe strongly that our protocols will be viable as a cure/treament for T-1 within Y years. I can't shoot it if I can't see it!
I guess what I am seeking is for someone to identify and quantify the problem(s). Let's lay out something fairly concrete here and then those of us non-scientist will know what the face looks like. I feel too damn helpless here and need for those of you close to a possible cure for my son to spell this out for me. We may all find that the mythical beast is not as big as we fear. I don't know if we are billions of dollars AND 50 years away OR if your challenges are such that we can each take a bite or two (remember how to eat an elephant...one bite at a time). Obviously there are a lot of other questions of who gets what...but maybe something will come of this string.
My apologies if answers to my rantings have been discussed here before. I haven't been here too long.
Thank you!
Allen
