Wot?
According to my reading, a Melbourne based research team headed by a Lady scientist, discovered that a patent brand name, rheumatoid medication Z-x-w-y, finds a forces out of hiding small pockets of hidden aids virus?
And the leukaemia medication/chemo, seems to have effectively destroyed those exposed?
And quite widely reported at the time, several years ago!
Although those best suited, still comparatively healthy, given the extremely robust effects of the combination of already approved for other purpose, medication!
And if followed though by several double blind trials, may prove to be successful?
And as an unintended consequence shut down one of big pharma's biggest money spinners. And there lies the difficulty?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease, and the medicine Z-x--w-y, seeks out and destroys the rouge immune cells?
Aids suppressed by anti viral meds, hides out in your immune system, where the medication simply recognises the host cells as just more rouge cells? And just destroys them if not the virus, leaving it for the chemo, which seems, has no difficulty then disposing of the unwanted pathogen?
This then unexplained rationale and something big pharma would hate?
And may mean clinicians may have to wait for either medication to be out of patent? Before it can used for an unapproved purpose? Given either medication may have prohibitions/conditional use/limited treatment and applications placed on either, by the patent holders?
And may explain why big pharma, wanted many of their patent protection period and controls extended? And underlines, I believe, big pharma's commitment to profits before all else?
