For $20 worth of ingredients, they produced an amount of pyrimethamine worth $110000 in the US. Or about $200 in any other country.

Didn't a couple of Aussie Dr's figure out that acid reflux is caused by a bacterial infection and that no more than something stupid like drinking fresh CABBAGE JUICE daily pretty-much cured it?

If not mistaken, they got a Nobel Peace Prize for their work.

Seems CABBAGE JUICE has a very effective enzyme in it that combats acid reflux, BUT as always, please check me here...

BUT Pharma can't make any MONEY off of selling fresh CABBAGE JUICE so nobody in the Medical Profession except for a few, "Wood-Hippie", Dr's are pushing its use, Go figure..

What are the causes of peptic ulcers?
We now know that many ulcers are caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This discovery won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005. H. pylori can cause both peptic ulcers and stomach cancer, or it may cause no symptoms at all. It is a common gastrointestinal infection with 20 percent of people younger than thirty and 50 percent of individuals over sixty harboring the bacteria in their digestive tracts. And yet, fewer than half of all people infected with H. pylori ever develop PUD.
