Nice to meet you B-part and good luck in your study's! I am using the word as meaning "to try everything". Mixing this with that and see what happens basically. Tweaking genetic compounds to offer the best potential results using drug cocktails. Although someone has to try these drugs not really knowing what the long term effects on their body will be. In that sense the word could be taken in that context also.

Great idea Mouse. I am not sure of what the outcome of Imclone will be but I hope safeguards will be setup because of this early warning sign that something needs to be put in place. With Idec and Biogen merging into the 3rd largest Biotech firm out there what is likely to happen in the future suggests to me that compition in this field will get brutal and patients will start paying for that also. Just a thought. Amevive manipulates your T-cells and supresses them as in Aids treatments. Mybe some of you here at IW know that I have a touch of psoriasis and would welcome something that would work besides mythotrexate. Yes, I took that for awhile and it cleared up my skin as long as I was on it. It really made my body go crazy thow. I don't feel as thow I am ready to try this Biogen to clear up from what I went through, and still feel sometimes, for a few red patches of dry skin. The sun seems to really help so i will stay will that for now.

Good point Timber. I guess in medicine research the well to do can do as they please. I wish it wasn't that way.
