The Inventive Dallas Buyers Club

AIDS-Early Challenges

If you think that this is going to buy another medical drama -think again.

There's more than meet the eye in this early war against HIV Aids.

The intensity of this medical condition in the early years sparked furious testing of new drugs where most were not approved by the FDA while AZT was on human trials and dosage issues made it toxic resulting in high mortality rates.

Dealing with non-FDA Approved AIDS drugs

One man's fight against the FDA and the other regulatory agencies including the Internal Revenue makes this movie one that is worth spending time to watch.

Dr. Eve and Her Sampling Patients

Matthew McConaughey stars as the inventive AIDS patient Ron Woodroof while Jared Leto played the transsexual role of fellow victim Rayon while Jennifer Gardner is Dr. Eve a co-doctor testing AZT on sampling patients.

Jared Leto as Rayon

Given only 30 days to live, the movie traces the exploits of Woodroof to save himself and fellow victims by circumventing US laws that forbid sales of non-FDA approved drugs. To do so, he started the Dallas Buyers Club where only memberships are sold and drugs are given free to all members that required it. This unrestricted manner of drug delivery showed immeasurable success when only 10% of victims had died.

Great movie.

See it to perceive the suffering that AIDS victims undergo to seek treatment in the early years of the onslaught of the disease.
