(Pune, India) From the subcontinent it's reported that there is a new herbal wonder drug for venomous snake bites called Pinak and stories regarding the drug's use are phenomenal.
One of the major problems in treating snakebite victims is the costly ASV vaccine that -- at a cost of 400 Indian Rupees -- is beyond the reach of most poor patients. Pharmaceutical anti-venoms are expensive to produce, a process that includes harvesting venom from snakes.Wow! A single dose prevents death. Wow! And, according to the reports, bites from all the various types of venomous snakes can be treated with equal effectiveness by Pinak. Wow!
A remedy to tackle this problem came in the form of herbal drug Pinak, manufactured by a Satara based pharmaceutical company following research and successful trials by Dr. Gita Pawar. Patients treated with Pinak not only survived but also fully recovered.
Pinak has yet to be approved by the Indian government. Pinak was not only cheap compared to the costly ASV, but the drug, which doctors have nicknamed the "miracle drug," was recorded to be so effective that a single dose of the drug, the world's only oral sublingual tablet, could cure or prevent deaths instantly as compared to ASV, which takes longer to act against snake venom.
Of course, I must ask why there hasn't been more publicity regarding this medical breakthrough? We're talking Nobel Prize worthiness here. Rattlesnake bite? Here, take this pill. Black mamba? Just put it under your tongue. Cobra? No problem, here's some Pinak.
Obviously, I'm harboring skepticism with hope.
