I remember seeing on the ABC television network news show "20-20" probably 25 or so years ago, a story about a livestock de-wormer product that was being used successfully to treat, I think, intestinal cancer. The product trade name was Tramisol. Levamisole phosphate is active ingredient. We had used the product on our cattle so I was familiar with it. The main thing of the story was that cancer patients in Florida were being treated with what doctors told them was levamisole phosphate and the product from doctors, hospitals and pharmacist was very expensive. Enough for one month of treatment was, if I recall correctly, about $1500. Some patients discovered that the product was nothing more than livestock wormer available at farm supply store for 50 cents per dosage; A month's supply for $15. The reporter researched the product and found that the same pharmaceutical company manufactured the human product and the cattle product. Reporter interviewed representative of pharma company and asked about the product. Person admitted that it was identical product. When asked why it could be sold to farmers for 50 cents but was priced at hundreds of dollars for a human, person stated that no farmer would spend more than a dollar or so to dewormer an animal but that person with cancer would be willing to pay any price to try to treat cancer.
