"plant extract" more effective than existing drugs?

[VGal]

Hi all,

I know that a lot of you are probably already privy to this, but I didn't see a discussion about it here. Also, I realize that it's being called a "drug", but it's apparently created from a plant extract and is non-toxic, which is why I chose to post here.

Anyway, here's the gist of the article:

"After an intensive five-year research and a series of experiments, including human clinical trials, the researchers claim to have arrived at a drug a plant extract which is non-toxic and infinitely more effective than existing drugs. Even though trials are over, no drug manufacturing company has so far shown interest.

Developed from an oil extract of pongamiapinata (koronjo), the drug prevents accumulation of tissues between dermis and epidermis layers of the skin that causes the disease. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth of skin cells. In plaque psoriasis, which is the most common of the five kinds of the disease, the skin rapidly accumulates at these sites giving it a silvery-white scale-like appearance. Drugs tend to have a short-term effect and are hepato-toxic, affecting liver and the kidneys...

...A human trial was conducted on 100 patients with a 90% success rate. Barring 10, the rest had a complete cure within 3 to 4 months. Periodic examinations showed that they didn't suffer a relapse either."


Sounds....absolutely amazing. So, what's the deal here? Is this something that can't be patented? I'm incredibly frustrated that this may never see the light of day.
