I don't think I disagree with what you are saying so perhaps you are reading my post as more positive than intended. I am assuming in my posts that those invested here would be aware of the issues related to processing times at the FDA and certainly they have been tweeted about by the US President on many occasions and how he intends to fix these delays but of course he was also going to build the wall to end all walls.

Having said this I am comforted by the fact that there should not be any reason whatsoever for those dealing with this application at the FDA to raise any concerns regarding safety and as you say the only issue should be efficacy.

This is where I would hope that the positive US Military trials, the fact that Travelan has been in use ie over two hundred thousand packets sold and consumed and its method of production (ie; it is as safe as milk taken from cows who have had gastric and recovered) will give it a chance of being moved through the process by way of a conditional approval.

Not something that will happen overnight but hopefully will only take many months not many years.
