OUR PRODUCTS
The pharmaceutical industry currently uses human blood serum to gather the supply of human antibodies necessary in developing disease-fighting drugs. But Hematech's unique TC Bovine technology has developed human antibody-producing cows, making it possible to create an efficient, safe, and steady supply of polyclonal antibodies in larger quantities. This is expected to have widespread implications for the development of new medicines to combat a variety of infectious and other diseases.
Some applications of Hematech's technology are the following:
Antibiotic-Resistant Infections
Bacteria that cause common infections are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, resulting in lengthier illnesses and higher mortality rates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates nearly 2 million people in the United States acquire an infection while in a hospital, resulting in 90,000 deaths. Most of the types of bacteria causing these infections are resistant to at least one of the antibiotics commonly used to treat them. In contrast to antibiotics, bacteria cannot develop resistance to polyclonal antibodies. Hematech's bovine-derived polyclonal antibodies, therefore, are an ideal complement to current standard practices of using antibiotics to fight infection.
Biodefense
Defense against terrorists using biological agents to harm either our military personnel or civilians is an important responsibility of the United States government. In response, the federal government is funding the development of novel therapeutics for treatment of individuals either before a potential exposure or after exposure to a harmful biological agent. Hematech has programs funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) to develop human polyclonal antibody therapeutics for botulism toxin, anthrax and small pox exposure.
Immune Deficiencies
Some individuals have compromised immune systems and have difficulty fighting common infections. Immune deficiency is the result of many causes, including genetics, treatments for cancer and organ transplantation. Immune deficient patients currently are the largest group of users of human polyclonal antibody therapeutics. The human antibody treatments are effective but may cost $25,000 to $50,000 per year. Hematech may be able to make more potent human polyclonal antibody therapeutics in cows resulting in substantial savings for this patient group.
Other Applications
Human polyclonal antibodies could be useful for treating many other diseases including organ transplant rejection, cancer and various autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Hematech's human polyclonal antibodies are produced in a genetically modified cow (the TC Cow™). Hematech has inserted the human genes for antibody production into this cow and inactivated the cow's own antibody genes.
God help us all!
So are they, or aren't they, "presently" using the TC Cow to produce human antibodies?
First they say: "
they are currently using human blood serum to gather the supply of human antibodies";
then at the end of this page they state: "
Hematech's human polyclonal antibodies are produced in a genetically modified cow (the TC Cow™)."
So which is it, Hematech? Human blood serum or TC Cow blood serum?
Please note, Hematech will protect our soldiers and civilians from:
botulism toxin, anthrax and small pox exposure
seems ligitamite, right? Well, not when you realize that the anthrax that was released on the USA just after the WTC attacks was from "USA government" laboratories. Its was genetically matched to the anthrax manufactured and kept by the USA government.
Who should we be scared of? Tell us.
Drugs like Remicade are polyclonal antibody therapy drugs. The first side effect listed with Remicade is,
increased risk of infections and "
lymphoma".
"Immune deficiency is the result of many causes, including
genetics, treatments for cancer and organ transplantation." True, first they damage our DNA via atomic nuclear bomb testing and other dastardly chemicals, then we get cancer and they treat it with heavy metals, then our kidneys fail (due to exposure to these radionuclides and metals) and we require a kidney transplant which our bodies want to "naturally' reject.
Instead of admitting the causes of disease: we the people of this planet are given more weapons (including not-so-depleted uranium), more pollution, more chemicals et. al. that make us sick; and as a result, the pharmaceuticals and "health" authorities get to "save us".
Before you jump all over me about life-saving practices which have developed over the last 100 years - I do acknowledge a place for technological advancements in health sciences. The antibiotic was a major contributor to life-saving practices. However, having learned some of the things I have over the last 3.5 years, and being a cancer patient survivor..... knowing what I know now, I would not have taken the chemotherapy after my surgeries. This is my opinion, in hind-sight!
If a fraction of the money spent on pharmaceutical drugs (and their development) was spent on improving nutrition of people, we would have the natural means to fight off many of the diseases that now crush us. Our immune systems are deficient for a reason. Instead of asking why?, we are given treatments rather than prevention.
All things in life that are worth-while take hard work and time.
Taking the "magic pill" or "injection" is the easy way (and often
seems like our only hope). There is a better way to fix our health; and more of us need to take that route.
I wish everyone good health in the New Year, a new beginning!
