Patent forTrimetazidine to be used in ME/CFS and other experimental drugs

[Guest guest]

(Just before I make this post, I just want express sympathy with the previous

poster who is in hospital. I can see it happen to me and I really hope you pull

through.)

I'm just posting here to report something I read in the Fall 2011 edition of the

National Forum from the NCF that is not online yet.

There was an article named " Forgotton CFIDS/ME marker Resurfaces Again " .

I couldn't understand except that It reported that some people in group had

chatted to some women with ME who also had breast cancer and their symptoms

resolved when on a drug called ADRIAMYCIN AKA Doxorubicin.

Could this be a new Rixmatub? Like the scientists in Norway who noticed that

some patients with ME were getting better on that Cancer drug.

As if that wasn't enough, there was also other news.

A patent was issued to " Dr " from England for a drug called

" TRIMETAZIDINE " aka " Vastarel MR modified release. for use in CFS/ME to reduce

mitochondria fatty acid oxidation. also mentioned " Ranolazine " aka

" Ranexa " as well.

He used 35mg of oral trimetazine twice a day for relief of symptoms.

The article then went into long Biology connecting this to Carnitine use and

something in the chemistry of cells and mitochondria. I did not understand it.

I once tried carnitine as a supplement and found no help therefore I don't know

what to make of this.

I was wondering what others here think of this.

From a google search I notice Ranolazine and Vastaral are both drugs used for

angina.

I can not find anything else online about this.

How I wish that doctors would conduct a proper experiment of these drugs in M.E.

What does everyone think of this?
