"weary" may be appropriate; but the sense is "wary." ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
There's no sense in sending this out after the market open. Ready or not send it before the market opens. ReplyGenerex Biotechnology: Oral-lyn Buccal Insulin Takes Center Stage [view article]
As both a kidney and pancreas transplant patient, I was delighted to hear that Generex is still moving forward with its Oral-lyn. I am at higher risk for cancer due to the immuno drugs I take everyday, so I would be adverse to ever trying Pfizer's formulation. Generex seens to offer me hope that as my pancreas becomes less efficient (as is happening to me now) and I require insulin once again, there may still be a needle-free alternative on the way. I'm sure I speak for many diabetics when I say to Generex, "Keep going!" Thanks to Mr. Steffens for such an informative article!!

Speaking as a kidney and pancreas transplant patient, I am delighted to hear that Generex is still pursuing Oral-lyn. Since cancer is a huge risk for me due to the immuno drugs I take, I would stay far away from Pfizer's formulation.

Want to read another of my "razormd" GNBT posts from Yahoo:Jul-24-07: ""The nutritional label on the product (available as a PDF on their web site) says the product has 188mg of carbs (or .188g) per serving (5 sprays). A typical glucose tablet has 4g... that's about 21x more carbs in a single glucose tablet than in 5 sprays of RapidSpray. Considering you typically use at least 15g of carbs to treat hypoglycemia, you would need around 80 sprays to get 15g of carbs into your system! When you take into account the amount of sprays you need, the calorie count isn't very much different from glucose tablets.
Read the label carefully, and be very careful using this!

...BUT he got his math a little wrong, I think...it takes 80 SERVINGS to get 15 grams of glucose from "rapidspray"... 5 sprays PER SERVING it would take about FOUR HUNDRED SPRAYS to get 15 gms of glucose!!!...HAW, HAW!!!...I can just imagine some poor diabetic with sweat pouring off him pumping away frantically before he passes out!!...on the other hand he could have just chewed 4 glucose tabs costing about 50 CENTS and saved money and a trip to the hospital...the quote is from:

And don't forget GNBT's generous board of directors:AUG-23-07: "HAW!!!,,,it must be...sweet being Rose and Anna!!...from the 8-K:
"The Board of Directors also awarded retroactive salary increases to the above-named executive officers of the Company as follows..."
...375,000 FREE shares PLUS retroactive pay raises!!...HAW!...I can just hear Anna and Rose singing in the shower: "ROLL'EM OVER, ROLL'EM OVER!!...SCREW'EM AGAIN, SCREW'EM AGAIN!!"...HAW, HAW, HAW!!!"
...and to think Anna was a real estate agent before becoming CEO of GNBT!...ain't life grand?!

But let's not forget pertinent details:14-Aug-07: "Now let me get this staight...each cannister of oralyn contains 400U of insulin...and 1 puff = 10U of insulin...but 10U actually only equals 0.7 units of injected insulin...so each canister actually only equals 28U of injected insulin...now let me think about this a minute...uhhhh, a type 1 diabetes patient typically requires an insulin dosage of about 1.0 unit per kg per day...so a 70 kg person needs about 70 units and that's typically divided 50% NPH and 50% R...so a patient would need 35U per day of humulin R...but each canister has only the equivalent of 28U of humulin R?????...so a typical patient will use a canister or more a day??????????...HAW, HAW, HAW!!!...sure hope those canisters are recyclable!!...HAW, HAW!!...and let's see, humulin R runs about many bucks per hundred units -- wonder what insurance companies would say about a patient flushing all that perfectly good insulin down the toilet every day?...HAW, HAW!!!...Anna rocks!!!...HAW, HAW, HAW!!!!"

...HAW, HAW!!!...1.3 million -- that's rich!!...no wonder you didn't pay an upfront license fee -- probably couldn't afford it!!!...HAW!...sure hope all those "costs associated with the procurement of governmental approvals for the sale of the product, including any clinical and regulator costs" aren't too high!!!...HAW!...maybe you can recoup some from "rapidspray" sales!...oops, maybe not:

Apr-08: "GEN084-OL???...H... cracks me up that the specific locations of all these clinical sites evidently is top secret!...goodness knows, they're scattered among cities from one end of the world to the other...but apparently no one is allowed to know the names of the hospitals, clinicians, etc that are actually involved!!!...goodness... a poor diabetic interested in participating to do?!!!...GNBT doesn't even list a phone number to call on their website!!...and isn't it interesting that "GEN084-OL" doesn't show up on any clinical trials databases?...gee, I sure hope Anna isn't committing fraud...I'd sure hate to see her have to go to prison!..."
1-Apr-08: HAW!!...one week GNBT announcesan "order" from India and a week it announces a "death spiral" convertible managed by that lone GNBT cheerleader: Rodman & Renshaw!!!...ain't it sweet!...Anna makes money...R&R make money...shareholders get -- uhhhh...well, you know...HAW, HAW, HAW!!! "

11-Mar-08: "Re: GNBT Announces Phase III Started - When?...HAW!!!...don't get your hopes up!!...GNBT originally said they were starting phase III EIGHT YEARS AGO!...last year they said they would actually recuiting patients beginning in November, 2007...yet there is NO evidence they have recruited even one patient...they haven't even announced anywhere that prospective patients could go to sign up!...face it -- the company is a SCAM!...just another biotech playing smoke and mirrors in order to keep money flowing into management's pockets."
...make NO mistake -- this company is basically nothing but a hoax designed and managed toward ONE end -- selling worthless stock to naieve investors...AVOID!!!

Generex Biotechnology: Oral-lyn Buccal Insulin Takes Center Stage [view article]
Oral-lyn is a real manufactured product now selling in a real country. The insulin delivered is standard insulin, the innovation is buccal absorption. Given the recent failure of lung-delivered freeze-dried insulin, it appears Generex is poised to accomplish what the major drug companies couldn't do. Good luck to Generex and I hope diabetics, especially children, soon have a needle-less way to deliver insulin safely at meal-time. ReplyGenerex Biotechnology: Oral-lyn Buccal Insulin Takes Center Stage [view article]
I think this article has really put the emphasis on what the GNBT team has been developing and that it would be extremely helpful for the Diabetic Patient. If the news and opinions such as this article could find a place in the mainstream news, I think you would see the stock price react positively. All other indicators for a large increase at the ticker are there, they just need to be more in the news about what they are doing. The rest will come!

Generex Biotechnology "market outperform"
01/16/08 - Rodman & Renshaw
NEW YORK, January 16 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Rodman & Renshaw reiterate their "market outperform" rating on Generex Biotechnology Corp (GNBT). The target price is set to $6.
In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the execution of the company’s low-risk Oral-lyn pre-commercialization activities and the preparations for the late-stage Phase III clinical trial are on track. Generex Biotechnology is a leading player in the alternative drug delivery market, the analysts add.

Flaherty Special Situation #2
Volume 1 Issue 2
April 2008
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
in this issue
Bob Flaherty Rides Again! Generex Biotechnology Corporation (NASDAQ:GNBT) is his next winner.
What exciting special situation have we found for you this issue? Take a look at Generex Biotechnology, whose stock was recently $1.04 versus a 12 month high of $2.14 and an all time high of over $22. Rodman and Renshaw forecasts a 12 month stock price of $6 and after that we think further gains are possible. GNBT is successful pioneering to introduce global needle-free delivery of insulin where many famous giants and lots of others have failed. You may even know of a person who is a diabetic who could improve the quality of their life if instead of using needles all the time they could switch to Generex Biotechnology's oral insulin spray after it is approved in the U.S. as it already is in Eucador and India.Think of how many of the 194 million diabetics in the world who would benefit if they coulld change the way that they take in insulin.

I have been a long term invester in Generex. Any biotech investor needs a lot of patients to hang in. This is a superior product from a great micro cap company and its delivery system can be used for other drugs as well. Other companies like Generex are NNVC and NNBP. All have great potential for the long term. ReplyEditors
