Minimizing HIV at the developing world with new “food fermentation produced”

protease inhibitors

An apparently new idea various NGOs might like

YoWhats that petri dish about???

Bacteria or yeasts grown at an environment which contain proteases at their petri dish,

like those that HIV produces,

Will develop new protease inhibitors

to keep the HIV protease from dissolving them

They would eventually be about as efficient as the industrial microorganisms that produce antibiotics

Developing worlders just make these yeasts or bacteria part of their food like Kimchi, yogurt, or brewers yeast.

Making these new biologically produced proteases at fermented foods thus prevents or relieves AIDS at the developing world

This is much cheaper than deploying

developed world pharmaceuticals

Well, what about the digestibility of enzymatic drug proteins?

Just blend the enzymes with fat and wax Then coat the pill so it only dissolves at the duodenum or any part of the GI tract that improves absorption

I suppose developing worlders eating brewers yeast fat pills coated with beeswax might work.
