Cancer Killers And Life Extenders

[bodebliss]

Deakin University medical scientists have created the world's first cancer stem cell-targeting chemical missile, placing them a step closer to creating a medical 'smart bomb' that would seek out and eradicate the root of cancer cells(cancer stem cells).

The Deakin researchers have worked with scientists in India and Australia to create the world's first RNA aptamer, a chemical antibody that acts like a guided missile to seek out and bind only to cancer stem cells. The aptamer has the potential to deliver drugs directly to the stem cells (the root of cancer cells) and also to be used to develop a more effective cancer imaging system for early detection of the disease. Their discoveries have been published recently in an international cancer research journal, Cancer Science.

The aptamer is the first part of the 'medical smart bomb' the researchers have been developing.

"The minute size of the aptamer means it could locate cancer cells in their very early stages.

Cancer tumors are like a tree with some cells being the root system and the others the branches and leaves; if you cut off the branches and leaves, the root of the tree is still alive. The root cells possess drug pumps that pumps out the anti-cancer drugs.

This aptamers attach only to cancer stem cells and nowhere else in the body. The next phase is to attach a none degradable lipid(fat particle) to the aptamer that would be deposited inside the cancer root cell w/ a radioactive particle, or cancer killing drug inside it. Presto! A cure for cancer!

Leukemia Treatment Virtually Eradicates Cancer, Kills 'Pounds' Of Cancerous Cells (VIDEO)

A new leukemia treatment is wowing even the researchers behind its creation, providing results beyond their wildest expectations.
It's virtually eradicated cancerous leukemia cells in the first three patients it's been tested on.
In two of the first three patients the process was tested on the treatment completely destroyed the most common type of leukemia, according to MSNBC. In the third patient, the treatment seems to have reduced the cancerous cells to 70 percent of what they once were.
"Within three weeks, the tumors had been blown away, in a way that was much more violent than we ever expected," said senior author Carl June, MD told Penn Medicine.
Amazingly, the breakthrough actually uses patients' own T cells to fight the cancer, according to the University of Pennsylvania's news release. Researchers took the T cells of the patients, ran them through Penn's vaccine production facility, and then reintroduced them to the patients' bodies

For what appears to be a rash of fear, this amazing treatment almost went unfunded.

This is a major breakthrough!

Another Step Toward Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention …

Optimizing your blood level of vitamin D!
In a study presented on November 15 last year at the American Heart Association's (AHA) annual Scientific Sessions in Chicago, it was revealed that vitamin D deficiency doubles your risk of stroke.
This adds weight to research released earlier last year, which found that vitamin D deficiency is associated with arterial stiffness; a risk factor for both heart disease and stroke. A separate study from Finland also found that those with the lowest vitamin D levels had a 25 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease or stroke, and when only stroke was evaluated, those with the lowest levels had twice the risk as those with the highest vitamin D levels.
Researchers have also found that people with the lowest average vitamin D levels had a 124 percent greater risk of dying from all causes and a 378 percent greater risk of dying from a heart problem -- so optimizing your levels will keep you out of this risk bracket.

Most Heart Attacks and Strokes are Preventable

Up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable, according to the National Stroke Association, and, conventionally speaking, many of the same risk factors that increase your risk of heart disease and heart attack also increase your risk of stroke. These include factors like:

• High blood pressure
• Obesity
• High triglycerides and elevated homocysteine levels
• Low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol
• Smoking

So, as with heart disease, limiting fructose, eating unprocessed, natural foods, exercising and keeping your weight at a healthy level will help to reduce your risk of stroke. Also high up on the list of keys to preventing a stroke or heart attack is to get a handle on your stress levels as the more stressed you are, the greater your risk.
As an example, a study published in the journal Neurology found that psychological distress will greatly increase your risk of suffering a stroke. The researchers actually found that for every notch lower a person scored on their well-being scale, their risk of stroke increased by 11 percent. Mental stress has also been described as an even stronger indicator of heart attack or other severe heart event than other known risk factors including smoking and diabetes.
So while limiting fructose, optimizing your vitamin D levels and leading a healthy lifestyle with nutritious food and regular exercise are important, you'll want to be sure you tend to your emotional health as well.

Stents they don't work and may double your chances of dying.

One interesting test mentioned in this article is the UltraFast CT scan to determine risk of further stroke." I have been taking high dose Vitamin C for 34 years, and have almost no measurable arterial plaque by Ultrafast CT scan (one extremely small spot measuring 34, where 0-100 is low plaque, 100- 400 is medium and above 400 is extensive plaque)," .

You may never have to suffer heart attack or stroke !


To follow one of these regimens for a 16 hr day: one 250 mg vitamin C every few hrs, one 500 mg Proline and one 500mg Lysine two times daily on an empty stomach.

I am becoming more and more a true believer in super-dosing with various vitamins like C for instance, I have been taking 4000mg a day for the last couple of days cause I felt I was getting a cold my dear children brought home from school and I have no symptoms anymore of what probably was more than likely strep.

I also got into juicing fruits and veggies, expensive as all get out but I feel 1000 times healthier.

[bodebliss]

Good going, Ditus!

I haven't tried juicing yet. Let me know how it's working for you.

[DownintheUpside]

Well it is a lot of work for the amount it produces and if you don't use the pulp it would be a waste, we give the pulp to our chickens and ducks who just go nuts when they see us coming!

The greatest part about it is the delivery of the nutrients is by far quicker than having your body break it down.

Well at least I know now how to drive chickens and ducks wild.
