Patients went to court to obtain capsules in São Carlos, Brazil.
As shown by G1, the drug was provided free in San Carlos, but a university ordinance prohibited the distribution to the registration with the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and patients who were aware of studies went to court to get the capsules. When contacted, Anvisa said it did not identify a formal process for evaluating the product in their records and that there was by the research institution no practical initiative or attitude towards transforming the product into a drug. According to the agency, for the record, in addition to the request, it needs to present documents and medical tests.
But, according to Chierice the substance, also known as fosfoamina not hit the market for "ill will" of the authorities. He said he sought Anvisa four times and was reported missing clinical data. "That is the claim of everyone. But it's full of drugs in this country who do not have clinical data," he declared.
He then asked the agency to a public hospital where he could carry out further tests - the researchers say, in the 90s, the substance was tested at a hospital in Jau - but said he did not get back. Anvisa denies he was formally sought.
Action
The retired teacher explained that with the intake of the capsules, the cancer cells are killed and the tumor disappears between six and eight months of treatment. "But it is evident that a case is different from the other," he said, stressing that the period may vary according to each immune system.
It also counted as the substance reacts and says there is already another country interested in manufacturing it. "We may have to buy that product the international market cost because it is already beginning to bore stay all this time trying to not get" fired in the interview granted to the reporter Rafael Castro and reproduced below.
EPTV - What substance is this?
It is the combination of a very common substance used in many hair shampoos, called monoethanolamine, and phosphoric acid, which is a food preservative. The combination of these two compounds produces a substance called phosphoethanolamine, which is a marker of differentiated cells, which are considered cancer cells.
EPTV - As it acts in the body?
This substance ourselves manufacture within the long muscle cells and liver endoplasmic reticulum. So we can not call it natural product because it is synthesized, but your body already makes for the same purpose: to defend you at all times of your life cells that differentiate.
EPTV - In practice, this substance reinforces what we already have? How it acts in the cancer cell?
First, it passes the digestive tract to the bloodstream, it goes to the liver and forms a reaction with the fatty acid. What is this fatty acid? It is the substance that is fed to the tumor. It tumor energy. And it goes along with this substance inside the cell. When she comes in, that cell is relatively still, ie the main organelle her, called mitochondria, is stopped. It forces the mitochondria to work and when it forces, it denounces to the immune system and the cell is settled, is called apoptosis (see the process in the video below).
EPTV - The efficacy of the substance was more evident on some kind of tumor?
Tumors have cells similar in its mechanism anaerobic calls. Anaerobic tumor cells, all of them yielded by the action of fosfoamina.
EPTV - There was a type of tumor efficacy has greater?
It can not make this measure because, first, we are not doctors. I would have to have a partnership with the doctor for him to show the effectiveness of each. This has never been done.
EPTV - Is there any contraindications? The capsule has to be ingested before the person to do chemotherapy?
There is no "before" because it does not work as an adjunct. If you blow the immune system of the person, the results are not good because the action of fosfoamina requires that the immune system is intact. If there is no chemotherapy which destroys the immune system, perfect, may be combined.
EPTV - You have an idea of how many people have benefited from this substance in the last 20 years?
Lately we made about 50,000 capsules per month. This equates to 60 each person, 800 people or close to a thousand people a month. Now how many people have benefited I am not able to say because many of them, who were terminally ill, are there, alive. So I can not say how many people were healed.
EPTV - You published this study in several scientific journals. How many in total?
Today I suppose there are nine to ten work in the best oncology journals in the world, which are international journals, along with the staff of the [Institute] Butantan, and explain the fosfoamina mechanism of action.
EPTV - There was interest from another country that formula. What can hapen?
We may have to buy this drug at cost international market because it is already beginning to bore stay all this time trying and you can not create difficulties I can not explain. I am a 25 year old man of science, I'm no amateur, and not be amateur, I know the procedures of things, how it works. If it is not possible here, the best thing is another country to benefit people because it is no flag. Humanity needs someone to do something to cure their ills.
EPTV - A cure for cancer exists?
Not only for fosfoamina, there must be about a dozen other things, but fosfoamina is there, available to anyone who wants to cure cancer.
EPTV - And why the approval is taking so long? Why Anvisa's taking so long to release?
The reason is very simple: I think there is an unwillingness. Because, if there was goodwill, it had already been applied in government hospitals, as experimental data, phase I, phase II, phase III, all is ready. Now what is lacking is within law standards, clinical data, so I'm told atAnvisa all this time. I think there is an unwillingness.
EPTV - And while this "ill will" continue, many people with the disease, and the cure is closer than most people think, is not it?
Yeah, I think so. Healing is much closer. And if you still say that lack enhance something would have to be improved going forward, not going back. Going back're all set.
EPTV - This substance is a cure for cancer?
I believe so, I believe so. Not only this as a lot of them that could come from derivatives.
Understand the case
On the 17th, the G1 showed that cancer patients fight in court to the USP provide synthetic phosphoethanolamine capsules. According to users, relatives and lawyers, the medicinal accumulate satisfactory results in combating disease, including healing reports, but has no record at Anvisa and therefore is only being delivered by court order.
The drug, whose capsule is produced for less than R $ 0.10, led to the emergence of discussions on the internet and a resident of Santa Catarina that distributed free was arrested. In an interview with G1, Charles Kennedy Witthoeft said it was "with consciousness alone."
During a visit to São Carlos (SP), he told how he met the substance, pointed to by researchers as an alternative treatment for cancer, why would donate it and what happened after being arrested and charged with drug counterfeiting. "There's no way to measure what we felt every person who came to speak he was cured," he said.
