Cubans, and few other ex-Eastern Bloc countries were peddling interferons as miracle cures in the past.
The reality showed a big part of it being a cargo cult science, except for a few cases when it wasn't, and they actually worked.
The same thing was for the bacteriophage medicine from ex-USSR coutnries. It indeed works, and it is in deed very arcane to most of Western antibiotic researchers, but it's nowhere near the "miracle cure" they peddle it as.
