Failed Drug Trial Men Shorter Lives?

In the Sunday Times today David Leppard writes that "VICTIMS of the disastrous "Elephant Man" drugs trial have been told they face contracting cancer and other fatal diseases as a result of being poisoned in the bungled tests. One of the six victims was told last week he is already showing definite early signs of lymphatic cancer."

The fact that they suffered so bady because of the drug trial is bad enough. According to Leppard "The men had been told by doctors they would not suffer any life-threatening illnesses."

If the problem is due to significant breakdown of the genetic make up of the men's bodies it is likely that currently science can do little for them.

However, if it's due to the toxins from the drug it would be well worth trying the infrared sauna approach - obviously it's a new drug so we don't know whether an infrared sauna would help but it has to be worth trying if the problem is not gene-damage linked.
