Follow the science and not the money Gee what a cocept http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_25/b4136030131343.htm This is the company that has an IL 17 drug in trials for AS. You know the science leading to a effective drug rather than failed research projects and only small improvements on existing drugs we see from Big Pharma so often.

Donette Gold_AS_Kicker Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 1,576 Idaho, USA	So is an IL17 drug completely different from an a-tnf drug?? I'm hoping so. Several docs have told me that I am pre-cluded from trying any of the other a-tnf drug family, due to my allergic reaction to Enbrel (stopped my heart, he he).

The IL 17 drug is AIN457 No families take so little medicine as those of doctors, except those of apothecaries. Oliver Wendell Holmes
