There is still a drug just sitting out there derived from a gene of an Italian family basically immune to heart disease. The gene basically cleans the arteries and was featured on 20/20 in the late 1990s.

Drug testing was almost miraculous, but it was sold to another company, then another, and that slowed it down. Who knows what’s happening now.

The money in heart disease is what’s happening. Call me paranoid, especially with this regime, but there is no way they are going to allow a multi-billion dollar industry be wiped out by one single cure or treatment. I don’t know what’s more common today: The 10 gabillion ads for pharmaceutical drugs or the ads for cancer and heart hospitals. Just the amount of ads they put out there everyday should give people an idea how much money is involved.

That's the way it works in this once great country as everybody & everything is bought or corrupt.

This sounds like the 100mph carburetor type story. Think about it. The profits would be huge if there was really a simple drug that would do such.

I would think the original creators of the drug would be furious and have some way to slightly alter and bring it to market.

Or, someone would leak the drug formula out and it would be produced on the black-market.

I would like to know who are the original developers. I can research and see what truly happened.

Since you're the poster of this miraculous whatever, why don't you google it and provide us with the follow-up research.........

Do you happen to know the name of this drug? I may be able to find out what happened with it.

I take any kind of early hype on drugs with a grain of salt. Very often, the hyping is meant to get investors to invest in the research, and the reality is not nearly as exciting as the hype. Clinical trials may show side effects that make the drug nonviable.

True - I read about that drug...

Why can’t it make it to market?
