In China, the father of a boy suffering from the fatal Menkes disease managed to independently create a medicine for his son. The newspaper South China Morning Post writes about it.
Menkes disease causes growth retardation, nervous system abnormalities, and characteristic curling of hair, due to which Menkes disease is also called “curly hair disease”.
Pathologies of this kind appear due to a violation of the cellular transport of copper in the body – children with this disease live only for a few years.
“I felt devastated, but I could not give up. How could you give up your own child?” – said the father of the child Xu Wei about his feelings when he learned the reason for the slow development of his son.
Nobody died. First COVID-19 pill created
A 30-year-old man, unable to find a cure for this disease, decided to synthesize an experimental drug himself – the amino acid histidine copper.
At that time, he had only a secondary education, so Xu enrolled in public courses at the university to learn how to manufacture pharmaceuticals and ensure quality control.
Due to the high complexity and high cost of industrial production of the drug that he created, it was decided to create it at home.
First, he tested the drug on rats, then on himself, and only then gave it to his son. The examination showed that the medicine helped him partially recover. The boy is alive, but still unable to roll over and talk.
Earlier it was reported that after analyzing the data of 70 thousand people doctors named cancer-causing vitamins.
