As reported on Yahoo on November 5, 2009, 'MELBOURNE (AFP) - A "miracle" Australian baby has become the first person cured of a rare and deadly brain-melting condition after doctors gambled on an experimental drug tested only on mice, they said on Thursday. The child, known only as "Baby Z", was facing a painful death of seizures and brain damage from molybdenum cofactor deficiency, a genetic defect which causes a build-up of toxic sulphite and usually kills in months.
But she made an amazing recovery just three days after first being given the untested treatment which was flown in from Germany and rushed through the courts.
Within hours after receiving the experimental drug cPMP the child's sulphite levels began to drop and reached normal levels in about 3 days.
God stood by and watched and was prepared to allow this child to suffer a painful death as had many others in the past who had suffered from the expression of this rare genetic defect.
Scientist Gunther Schwarz of Germany had tested cPMP on mice with success and shipped the drug to Australia for use with Baby Z. Biochemist Rob Gianello had discovered the drug which fixes the previously incurable condition.
This is another example of humans correcting God's work.
God comforts while humans save.
The universe may not care that we are here but we do.
