    @Milo I have not spent any time looking into the GcMAF cancer research, so have not formed my own opinion on that side of it. I posted those two above links, the first negative and the second with a more positive tone, just to see other's opinions on its potential anti-cancer effects. Though I expect the cancer cure claims are greatly overhyped.

    However, it's really an entirely separate consideration whether GcMAF is useful for ME/CFS. There are anecdotes of efficacy on the ME/CFS forums. But with GcMAF manufacturers being closed down, we are not likely to see a clinical trial, nor even much further anecdotal evidence accumulating.

    I wanted to try to the Goleic GcMAF, after reading this account of a severe ME/CFS patient being permanently cured after 1 year on Goleic. However, that manufacturer has now unfortunately gone as well.

    BBC One Show last night carried a feature on the prosection of David Noakes and his co-accused (which included his ex-wife apparently).

    We put together a blog that I updated yesterday evening. According to the BBC he received 15 months jail-time but I expect we'll hear more in the news later today:
