I'm chasing up as many research papers as I can get my hands on as well as on the new drug NICE just authorised http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/58806.php .....never tried one of these 'new' drugs that targets specific markers on a cell. :ooo

This is a pic of it http://www.mabthera-ra.com/portal/eipf/pb/mabthera/ra_physician_area/the_role_of_b_cells?paf_gear_id=18300052&paf_dm=full&ico_id=static/icono_fr/re7300002/re71700003/re73400002/re745001/ImageBase_00034&paf_pageId=re7188144&origin=search How the hell do they make them? :geek Some poor Chinese kids :ermmm

I have images of what happened to those 6 students last year with these new 'smart' medicines....once locked on....it's there till the cell dies.... :Blacklistnonono: ...bloody amazing though....

It's not supposed to help you improve :doh

The molecular structure of the glucosamine sugar tangles with the receptors on the B cells, and may prevent it reacting to produce an inflammatory response which causes damage to the body, mainly joints.

It is not specific enough to stop a B cell, but it may take a certain % out of the game, which may result in a slowing of the illness.
