About TNI BioTech
TNI BioTech Inc. is a biotech company combating fatal diseases through the activation and mobilization of the body’s immune system using our patented immunotherapy.

Our products and technologies are designed to harness the power of the immune system to improve the treatment of cancer, infections and such as HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases through the development of both. We have been developing active and adaptive forms of immunotherapies.

Our proprietary technology, therapies and patents, will be used to treat a wide range of cancers. Our most advanced clinical programs involve immunotherapy that works by isolating a patient’s lymphocytes and then incubating them together with Methionine Enkephalin (MENK) in an enriching external incubation system. After incubation the patient’s lymphocytes are reinfused back into the patient where they combat and destroy tumor cells.

However, even though Management considers any condition that results in altered-immune response a target for investigation, the Company will most likely pursue additional investigations for MENK as a valuable candidate in the treatment of the following:

Autoimmune states such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis;

As an adjunct to antibiotics in the treatment of infectious diseases;

In patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation treatments or surgery; and

In wound healing, herpes viral infections, and in treatment for the elderly.
