You might have a treatment or even a cure that works but you have
proven nothing until a controlled double blind clinical trial involving
those on the med and those without the med are compared.
Credit goes to the one who can prove it and one does not need to prove
any mechanism on how it works as the time spent or held up with
research as you put it is essentially that the med can not harm anyone
and it can help people with a particular condition.

How do you know? What are the actual facts you know, and how did you
get them? I'm not suggesting you answer those questions here, but they
may be important in dealing with your basic question. It is hard to
imagine how you could know something is a cure -- though possibly you
have some observations that would be of interest and worth following
up.
If you made some interesting observation while using a drug under a
doctors supervision, why not tell the doctor. Be sure to tell him/her
clearly what happened, and keep separate your opinion of what it all
means.
It is possible that you saw something others do not know -- but it is
also perhaps unlikely. It's not for me to judge the specifics here,
but remember as you talk with the doc or whomever, they may say they
know about this, and ...
If talking with the doc is not sufficient... You might see if you can
contact someone from the drug manufacturer -- esp if they have major
facilities (not just sales offices) in NZ.
You might also try to contact someone at a medical school --
preferably someone involved with drug development or testing. Another
possibility is to contact a drug licensing agency (your equivalent of
the US Food and Drug Administration).
I encourage you to not be too concerned about "credit". But if you
want... You can certainly write a letter (to the company or an agency)
saying generally that you have some information you would like to talk
about with them, info you think would be beneficial, and that you
would like to be able to get some credit. They are going to be
skeptical, for reasons already noted. But hopefully, they will be
professional.

The most recent one I recall is Viagra. It was developed stricktly for
the treatment of hypertension. People on the clinical study reported
having erections like teenagers. The researcherers then switched gears
on the med right away as they then went to the urologists for a
treatment that caught them completely by surprise.

Well I certainly don't have the proof to claim it as a cure but at the very
least it is a treatment that is light years ahead of any existing treatment
in terms of effectiveness. I had a problem that the doctors could not
provide a solution to, so I came up with my own theory and tested it with
the results been as my theory would expect, there was no trial and error
involved although the treatment maybe improved by further testing, I went
straight from theory to successful treatment, further testing would be
required to prove to other people the result was as a result of the
treatment.

Given certain understandings of the medical system i don't think it is so
surprising that I have come up with something very easily all by myself,
although I must admit I still find it amazing in some ways, but my results
speak for themselves. For it to be a fluke you have to accept that I fluked
the theory that lead to the specific method of treatment that lead to a
successful result all on the first attempt, remember it is not just a case
of taking this drug, it won't work just like that and the data exists to
support a negative result by just taking the drug.

Why not???, I bet someone else will take it if i don't.

Yes I would expect a very high level of scepticism, this I expect to be a
big problem.

Forget it, it appears that I am no longer the first to find this cure, I've
been sitting on it for at least 6 months and back then there were no reports
of this anywhere else but a specialist in the usa has now come up with the
same cure, shame it took the so called experts so many years when it just
took me minutes to figure out, damn i should have done something about this
earlier but have had my hands full and thought that if it had not been
discovered after all this time it was not likely someone would discover it
before I got around to doing something about it. I won't say what is is at
this time, want to be sure about a few things before I do, will be
interesting to see how long it takes for this cure to be common knowledge to
doctors here.

Sorry about not checking again that it was still a cure only known to me
before posting here, but the last time I checked, which would be a few
months ago there was no such known cure.

Trials are underway now apparently.
