1️⃣ IBS — The Most Common “Invisible” Gut Disorder 💩🧠
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder marked by:
➡️ Recurrent abdominal pain
➡️ Altered bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea, or both)

No ulcers. No tumors.
It’s a gut–brain interaction disorder, not structural disease.

Diagnosis is positive, not “by exclusion.”

A Bangladeshi company is now selling a generic version of a life-saving cystic fibrosis drug — at a fraction of the cost.

Beximco Pharmaceuticals reverse-engineered Boston-based Vertex’s Trikafta, which retails for $346,000 a year, NYT reported. Vertex has been criticized for its monopoly on the drug, for blocking generic versions, and for not making the drug available in several countries. Vertex makes about $10 billion a year from Trikafta.

“It has been so heartbreaking trying to keep my son alive…accessing Vertex’s drugs was impossible for me. I was forced to watch my son get sicker as they got rich,” Mustafizur Rahman Munshi said of his 6-year-old in a Beximco press release.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that leads to overproduction of mucus, leading to blocked airways, infections, and shortened lifespans. About 162,000 people live with cystic fibrosis globally, with a further 80,000 remaining undiagnosed.

Because Bangladesh is considered a “least-developed country,” it’s exempt from WTO patent infringement laws. It also means they can export their version of generic drugs to countries where the drugs aren’t patented. During COVID-19, Beximco exported generics of several antiviral drugs. That’s when parents of cystic fibrosis patients reached out to Beximco.

“I said, ‘If we are capable of manufacturing this, I am committing we will do this for you,’” Rabbur Reza, Beximco’s COO, told NYT. Beximco’s version sells for $6,350 a year for children, or $12,750 a year for adults.

Beximco is a subsidiary of Beximco Group, Bangladesh’s largest conglomerate, generating $2 billion a year, and was founded by brothers Ahmed and Salman Rahman in the 1970s.

Vertex isn’t too pleased with Beximco. “Companies that commercialize a generic version of Trikafta have not had to bear the notable cost of drug discovery and development,” a spokesperson told The Guardian.

This innovative approach to lower LDL could be a game changer
Prof Roop Mallik ⁦@IITBom⁩ and collaborators @IISER Kolkatta must be funded generously, flexibly to see this to fruition- a block buster drug
The process can be expedited with sustained generous support from govt

You swallow more bacteria from your own mouth every day than you'd get from most probiotic supplements.

1 mL of saliva holds around 100 million bacteria, and you swallow roughly 750 mL of it a day. That's about 80 billion bacteria heading into your gut every 24 hours.

They don't all get wiped out in your stomach. A big fraction survive and seed it.

- Your mouth is the upstream source of your gut microbiome
- A dysbiotic mouth re-seeds it with the wrong bugs daily
- There's a free routine and one specific oral probiotic you can use to fix it.

Here's the oral-gut axis, and how to clean up the upstream end.
