Link to an article in today's TOI :
👆"repurposing existing drug" for a hitherto unknown use.
Sounds great. And it is.
But think about it slightly differently. Blood thinners are prescribed like chocolates nowadays. Anyone and everyone you know is having blood thinners.
They are effective as anti venom also, as it was just discovered, "they act as a decoy antidote, binding and neutralising the toxins"
The question to ask is.. all those lifestyle drugs that you are you taking, from the pill box that you carry around.. how many of them act as decoys to bind to what all and create what all havoc in the body?
And remember that it all started when you went for that "preventive" medical check up, which is basically a trap for enticing the gullible into the medical system's welcoming arms.
100 tests, at sixty percent discount!
When you test for 100 parameters, there is a close to 100 percent chance that some parameter is "not normal". How is normal defined? Anything, say five percent to the right or five percent to the left of the normal distribution consisting of the population. 100 parameters like that, and the chance of getting a clean report is close to infinitesimal, do the math yourself.
So your LDL was low and HDL was high, or Vitamin D3 was inadequate, and you landed at the local corporate hospital ( the discounted tests are decoys, they are actually marketing agents for the corporate hospitals, the front line goons for the medical mafia).
And before you know it, you are on statins, blood thinners, cholesterol lowering drugs..
In roughly around five years from that point you are carrying around a pill box with compartments with dates and times filled with pills of various colours. And you are saying things like "I need to eat every two hours or I will die", "I cannot sit on a two wheeler, God forbid, my back will dislocate itself", "I am gluten, lactose and peanut intolerant"... We are all familiar with the list, except that in the last few years the list is growing.
Meanwhile the neighbour, who is a trader in Chikpet, and seventy five years old, continues to travel all around the city on his Kinetic Honda, eat
anything, go anywhere, life weights, spend ten hours at his shop, and is mentally and physically active.
What is the secret to his good health?
His ignorance. No one told him about medical tests.
