Snakebite antidote is running out










The world is running out of one of the most effective snakebite treatments, putting tens of thousands of lives at risk, warn experts. Medicins Sans Frontieres says new stocks of Fav-Afrique, which neutralises 10 different snakebites that can occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, are desperately needed. The last batch will expire in June 2016 and there is no comparable replacement. Manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur says it has been priced out of the market. Alternatives are available but MSF says they are not as good. Fav-Afrique is the only anti-venom that has been proven safe and effective to treat envenoming from different types of snakes across Sub-Saharan Africa, it says.

This news comes to us just a day before the Waning Crescent Moon of August 9. A chart for the phase  drawn for Paris, where Medicins Sans Frontieres  is located,  is shown here.  Notice that a T-square containing  Sun-Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune is on the angles. Here Neptune is conjunct stars of the medical goddess Gula while Saturn on the IC aligns with the star Yed Posterior, in the left hand of the shaman-healer Ophiuchus who grasps the Serpent. This is an obvious connection to doctors concerned about healing snake bites. And if we now add to this the fact that Saturn which  is linked to keywords like “lack” or “inadequacy” is conjunct this star, we begin to see why stocks of the anti-venom for snakebites are running out.
