Colin yes it is true that RHB 104 was developed for Crohns, as Mycobacterium Avium paratuburculosis was found in people with the disease, but it now looks like it will used for RA and MS.

RECENT REVEIEWS ? I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF RECENT PRESS RELEASES, MAINLY ON FINANCIAL WEBSITES AS A NEW DRUG LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE BIG BUSINESS.

Hi bsk I think you maybe a little confused. The drug in question RHB-104 is still in trials so there will not be any reviews for quite some time Im afraid.

though to be fair to the tabloids, they get their news from organisations like Reuters and the PA. I did find some interesting info in the Reuters report, which was what I was asking you to signpost me to. Thank you.

SORRY BSK BUT I THOUGHT TYPING IN RHB104 WOULD SUFFICE. THERE IS SO MUCH INFO IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN FOREVER TO LIST EVERY WEBSITE, AND ITS NOT HARD TO FIND AS THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES ON THIS SUBJECT.

Hi Linda, did you look on arthritis research UK ? On there they say RHB104 is currently in trials for lupus.

Yes May, I did. It sounds quite promising. Trials of new drugs though do take an awful long time.

Subject: Re: RHB 104

That is true but I think these trials are quite far in already, and due to them being a combination of established drugs in their own right, lets hope it wont be too long.

Just seen your post May and this is very interesting. Read that Professor Thomas Borody, the man that developed antibiotic treatment for stomach ulcers is working on this drug.

I notice he worked with Dr Barry Marshall Bev, who won Nobel prize for discovering that the H pylori virus caused stomach ulcers.

I have never accepted that my immune system decided to attack my joints for no reason. I firmly believe an infection lies behind this horrible illness.

I agree with you May, Infection or Bacteria or foreign food particles aggravating joint tissue and turns the immune system haywire!

Wish the consultants would look into all this

Subject: Re: RHB 104

Hi Suz, the consultants just prescribe what they themselves have been advised to do. I think in two to three years time the approach to treating and maybe curing these diseases will change dramatically.

I hope so May, My R.A began when I was age 16 after having a bout of supposedly Urine Infection. How did your R.A begin, do you feel anything triggered it off?

Suz, I went to bed one night a healthy middle aged woman and the next morning woke up and I couldn't make a fist or walk down the stairs. As a child and up into adulthood I often had bouts of strep throat.

Subject: Re: RHB 104

Not sure who "." is? But they are obviously trying to promote this treatment!

I would like to pose a question that if Antibiotic Protocol works as well as it is being reported in other countries - it would make sense that a big pharma would recycle these antibiotics in a package and call it a new drug that they can then patent. It's called "product recycling" in their industry.

I don't like '.''s promotional approach - and if this drug ever proves to work then fine but I still smell the money here!

Sorry to all the friendly people here but I think we want honest open posting - not stealthy big pharma promotion..

Subject: Re: RHB 104

Sean, I doubt a big pharma would be promoting a new drug on this little website. As for you claiming to smell money, well, I have a hunch that there just might be financial gain behind most drugs. RHB104 is not a new drug, you are correct but it has never been put through trials for Lupus, MS or RA before. There are some big names behind this drug and yes, a lot of money is being invested in it, which I find very encouraging.

I'd be willing to try it. It seems the lesser of two evils as most arthritis drugs suppress the immune system.
