tretonin is the ultimate miracle drug, so why havent they introduced it into the public yet. i mean the worst side effect that youve gotta take it the rest of your life was solved by the tokra. and we can make it using asgard tech so supply is virtually limitless. so what they could have done is give it to people with like cancer and after a few months when their cured give em the antidote or just keep giving it to em. i mean theres an unlimited supply. the onlly problem i see is explaining how its created.

What they didn't do was alter tretonin so it didn't damage the immune system.
Once you start using tretonin, you can't stop. Sure you live longer, but you also can't live without the drug. If you're ever cut off from the supply, you die, whether you have some malady or not.
If you stop taking tretonin voluntarily, you have to have the reversal drug administered or you die.

exactly, thats pretty much what i meant. they give the drug to someone with cancer for a few months then when their healed, then restore their origional immune system with the tokra antidote. or if their immune system was too dammaged they are on it for life. its better than the alternative.
it can even be used to cure aids, i mean pretty much what aids does it trash your immune system and tretonin gives you a new more powerfull immune system.
yes i understand that it can be dangerous but if the right precautions are taken it can only prolong your life without making you miserable by having to take a thousand pills a day. you just get your dose of tretonin and your good. and plus since we can make it for pretty much free, we can make each dose cost like 5 cents.( asgard matter conversion technology)STARGATE ROCKS

True the Tok'ra reversed the damage, but I also believe they created a way to produce Tretonin without the use of symbiotes. Also Tretonin is kind of a weakness, if you run out of it you are dead, and it would be easy for an enemy to destroy Tretonin fabric and I doubt we can distribute all the tretonin we make with asgard technology.

If the world in Stargate is anything like the world we live in, then maybe the reason they don't give out tretonin is to stop the world overpopulating with all the people that would be dying but now aren't because they have become immune to most diseases.LIKES: Half-Life, Half-Life 2, ST: DS-9, ST: TNG, Eric Clapton, GTA 4, SGU, MW + MW2, Red Dead Redemption,

well whats better getting a new more powerful immune system and having to take a pill everyday for the rest of your life ( wich some people with diseases have to do anyway) or die. i mean you shouldnt take it if you dont have a life threatening illness thats stupid but if your dead if you dont take it then what have you got to loose. personally i would choose tretoninSTARGATE ROCKS

id only do it if im gonna die otherwise. and then i mean unnatural death.
but then, how would they explain such a miracle drug? and then what, overpopulation?
rather use asgard matter conversion to help africa and such. and fusion powerplants to give em electricity. and asgard sensors to predict volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunami's
