This is great news! Let's keep track of the progress of when the drug will become publicly available.

Thanks redhead. That's good info.

Just read the Raptor Pharmaceutical's new quarterly update. It mentions that they "believe a large Asian pharmaceutical company will want to license Convivia," and they're looking to strike a deal sometime in 2010. So that sounds like some progress I guess.

I think with the new findings that ALDH2 deficiency can lead to increased cancer risks, the pharmaceutical world may be more knowledgeable on the subject. And they may see this as a more profitable business opportunity. Anyone have any connections with Asian pharmacy companies? Hehe...

Cheerz may be able to help with hangovers, as your website suggests. The "asian blush" is not just about hangovers. Your product does very little for those with the ALDH2 deficiency. Nice commercial though. That girl's pretty cute.

And yea, flushed81 and Jhawkings are obviously from the same source, and trying to advertise their product.

It seems that it's difficult to market these drugs. Conviva is the most advanced in its development stage. Even with the positive results, they still have trouble finding partners in Asia. I think that most people, even Asians, are just not knowledgeable about the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiencies. Some of the people who have the enzyme mutation just drink anyways, and get sick.

We should try to make the public, especially Asians, more knowledgeable about this.

Has anyone tried that "noredface formula" from that "flushed81" guy? He's posted lot on here recently. Probably just a way to advertise.
