The fact that the “inventor” of the use of Enbrel
(TNF-alpha) for TBI recovery has been trying for years to go after the Alzheimer
industry (revenues of several billions) without trying to focus on what I’ve
been calling the epidemic of this new millennium (TBI), no matter how many
times I tried to warn him about it, this explains – I’m afraid – the reason why
the FDA still hasn’t been given the chance to approve it for TBI recovery.
Of course this is all and only a matter of money, or the billions
of dollars for the treatment of the always increasing population of Alzheimer’s
patients vs. the irrelevant increase in sales of the couple of shots needed to
successfully give neurological recovery to victims of TBI even decades after
their initial brain insult (watch video at my post on March 4th this year).
What the very successful and enriched Tobinick doesn’t seem
to grasp (even if I tried to warn him by email several times already) is that
to go after a billionaire industry like the one of the medications for Alzheimer
is about suicidal, in fact the maker of the Etanercept or Enbrel (Pfizer in
Germany, Amgen here) can’t even think to spend the very much money needed to
have its Enbrel re-purposed for TBI recovery when the only result would only be just an
added cost to their bottom line.
On November 13th of last year I had wrote and
published here a post titled “Patriotism and Capitalism” on this same topic (I
guess Erik should know by now that I’m not as dumb as he had assessed me to be).
I hope that this makes it clear the reason why I’ve been
sending messages for the support of this repurposing to our President Obama and
the whole Congress for months because this can only happen if someone like our
own President elect can spend (our) money to support this.
I was hoping that since he gave his support to both stem cell
research and human brain mapping he could understand that by supporting this
re-purposing he would go into the history like Madame Curie for defeating the
terrible epidemic of this historical time, but then again “who knows?” Sadly not me.
