ST. LOUIS—April 27, 2009—GenoMed® (OTC Pink Sheets GMED.PK), the Public Health Company™, announced today that its concept of a general viral antidote may be especially useful for the current swine flu epidemic.
In Mexico, young, healthy people are dying from swine flu, as in the case of the 1918 epidemic. The press is finally reporting that this may be due to “cytokine storm.” Healthy people mount an exaggerated immune response to a new virus, so that it’s their own overly healthy immune system that kills them, rather than the virus itself. This is a new concept of viral diseases that GenoMed began promoting during the SARS epidemic six years ago.
Said Dr. David Moskowitz, GenoMed’s CEO and Chief Medical Officer, “Swine flu has two known treatments already, Tamiflu and Relenza. But for communities without access to these expensive medications, GenoMed offers the possibility that a cheaper and much more available class of medications, the ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) or ACE inhibitors, which are present in every drug store on earth, may also work.”
Dr. Moskowitz continued, “Anybody interested in our free clinical trial for swine flu is welcome to contact me at dwmoskowitz@genomed.com.”
