Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 TNF Blockers Humira a 700 million 2004 1.2 Billion $$ Drug sales in 2005 estimated. I was reading an ad about Humira which is A TNF alpha inhibitor used for people with rheumatoid arthritis. They block a protein that causes inflamation as I understand it . It strikes me that this is a particularily dangerous drug with awakening latent tuberculosis, lymphoma and autoimmune diseases. You have to inject it with a needle like a junkie. What desperate conditions would drive someone to this? Spin the wheel of risk messing with the immune system. There was a color picture of an elderly woman on her knees happily hoeing in her garden. It was pitched in Oprahs magazine I was reading in the office I was in. Fasting and raw foods reverse rhematoid arthritis if its not too far along as I understand it. Isn't that true? Can't make a buck off of that : Abbott Park, Illinois, July 13, 2005 — Abbott today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Worldwide sales were $5.524 billion, up 17.5 percent from $4.703 billion in the second quarter of 2004. Total sales were favorably impacted 2.3 percent due to the effect of exchange rates http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/rheumatoid-arthritis/AR00039 free post pass it on Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
