      Rigvir is a scam. "[Latvian] Oncologists say they have not received a response to the most important questions – what research was used to justify adding Rigvir to the register of medicines?" http://bnn-news.com/oncologists-rigvir-scandal-shames-latvia-172557 …

      You see, the evidence is secret (or a dog ate it): https://eng.lsm.lv/article/features/commentary/resolving-rigvir.a253515/ … It might be the 1st pharmaceutical company hiding positive results, quite an interesting case for #AllTrials initiative. @Gorskon asked to see those publications and never got them:https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/rigvir-strikes-back-or-a-conversation-with-a-rigvir-flack/ …

      1. Rigvir’s enthusiasts like Ivars Kalviņš were all well-placed in the old Soviet science establishment, so it is totally above-board and respectable. 2. Rigvir has always been marginalised & non-establishment & that’s why its enthusiasts have never hard the resources to test it.

      Oncology centre (our main treatment centre) of Latvia actually offered them to do a study on Rigvir, but they declined: http://skepticisms.lv/enciklopedija/rigvir-when-science-takes-a-back-seat/ … You'd also think that in all these years they could have done more than a few case reports and a retrospective n79 study.pic.twitter.com/zEv3HJGNJS

      Is there a list of the "alternative medical treatment clinics in Germany" pimping Rigvir? I found a few: https://www.medicalcenter-mommsenstrasse.de/en/the-clinic/therapy-offers/oncolytic-viruses-rigvir … http://www.klinik-marinus.com/eng/therapies/rigvir.html … Orac notes that Germany is basically open slather for fraudsters (as long as they focus on foreigners). https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/04/02/deadly-false-hope-german-alternative-cancer-clinics-hallwang-clinic/ …pic.twitter.com/fW7VRBcDlG

By now there are over 100 crowdfunding requests for 3.5m+ Eur, latest numbers are in a link here: http://tl.gd/n_1sqggsu

      Standard of Care for the Mexican cancer-vampire industry is to set up GoFundMe appeals for their patients, and deputise patients to scam on the clinic's behalf. Crowd-funding has been a godsend to the clinics: What they charge is no longer limited to the victims' own finances.

      It's also a way to get an insight into what is happening in these clinics and how most of the patients end up dead. By checking the requests I found out that Rigvir clinic also supports Gerson method, coffee enemas, vitamin infusions, etc., which they don't want to advertise.

      Here's some convergence. Ursula Jacob - who recently featured at Respectful Insolence, as the person behind the Hallwang Institute - is also a Scientific/Medical advisor to Verita Life (who are now aboard the Rigvir scamwagon) http://group.verita.com/en/about-us/our-people/ … Several familiar names there.
