She didn't realize that the MMR had been the culprit until her son almost died from the vaccine as an infant and she put two and two together. Tysabri was originally approved for MS, was removed from the market for causing multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML. What would that do to a child already suffering brain and nerve damage from vaccines? FDA OKs Tysabri to fight Crohn's disease By MATTHEW PERRONE, AP Business Writer Mon Jan 14, 6:44 PM ET WASHINGTON - Tysabri, a treatment for multiple sclerosis made by Biogen Idec Inc. and Elan Corp., received regulatory approval on Monday for use among patients with a severe intestinal disorder. The Food and Drug Administration approved Tysabri for use in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who don't respond to more conventional drugs, such as Abbott Laboratories' Humira. The approval represents a comeback for Tysabri, which was temporarily pulled from the market in 2005 after three patients using the drug developed a rare nervous system disorder called multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML. FDA allowed the drug back on the market the following year, but only under a restricted distribution program. The drug is used by more than 12,000 multiple sclerosis patients in the U.S., according to Biogen, with no new reports of the fatal disorder. Government officials said Tuesday Crohn's disease patients would have to enroll in a similar distribution program for Tysabri. Patients must undergo an educational program on the drug's risks and can only receive the injectable drug from a select number of registered physicians. About 500,000 people in the U.S. have Crohn's, which usually causes diarrhea, fever and internal bleeding. There is no known cure. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Biogen said distribution of Tysabri for Crohn's patients will begin by the end of next month. Company representatives said a year's supply of drug will likely be priced at $29,000 (euro19,470). Last week, Biogen management said it hoped to expand Tysabri's market to 100,000 patients by 2010. But some analysts, including BMO Capital Markets Zhang, note the drug's safety risks could limit its distribution. The drug is expected to compete with Remicade in the U.S., the leading Crohn's treatment made by and . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Tysabri was a god-send to many patients suffering from Crohns that either found Remicade and Humira ineffective or who became intolerant to both of them. It's also worth knowing that no patient on Tysabri alone got PML, it was only two patients who were on both Tysabri and Avonex. The third patient's records have been changed to reflect Remicade as the cause of PML. Just as important, Tysabri is by far the most effective MS treatment that exists today. Patients who were previously confined to wheel chairs are starting to walk because Tysabri is preventing further demylenation and allowing the body to heal itself. Did you know that Crohns patients often suffer RA, and while on Tysabri their RA subsided? So, Tysabri can help with demylenation issues, RA and Crohns. These are all issues that effect many of our children. This drug has enormous potential to help ASD children.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 The most effective treatment for MS is hyperbaric oxygen, but since no one makes $2000 an injection from it, there is no money to promote it or fight Big Pharma with their suppression. HBOT is the primary therapy for MS in the UK by MS patients for MS patients with over 60 charity centres and 100 chambers through out Ireland, Scotland and England. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Since those who want to know understand Crohn's is an infection, it is absolute insanity to treat an infection with an immune suppressive drug. Again...go to www.crohns.org, don't take my word for it, or do an internet search on mycoplasma and Crohns. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$KP Stoller, MDPresident, International Hyperbaric Medical AssocMedical Director, Hyperbaric Medical Center of New Mexicowww.hbotnm.com-- "j__stone" <etiguy@...> wrote: Tysabri was a god-send to many patients suffering from Crohns that either found Remicade and Humira ineffective or who became intolerant to both of them.
