Yeah...I started a thread about this story a few years ago. Over a hundred views and not one single comment.
If it works, it'll be a terrible day for the pharmicutical industry... But when you start seeing stories like this: Vitamins 'increase death risk', one has to wonder just what the aim of these companies are. To cure the sick or make the rich richer.
If a pharmaceutical company has 2 newly discovered products. One which cures a malady and one which keeps the malady at bay better than any other known drug, it will cover up the former for as long as it can. Simple rule of economics!
the benefit of the supposive new drug... is.. its not new.... its old... and its cheap.. and not owned by patents. so we can all have some. -MT
Last night's 60 Minutes article on cancer is the most promising treatment Ive yet seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IHg9Mti5Qs
Interesting .... VERY interesting ..... this might actually work ........ Nanoparticles could be made to target only cancercells ..... I guess every patient must have his own specific nanoparticles made ........ after a biopsy of the cancer has been analysed ........... It is certainly worth doing reasearch in this .........
The use of nanomaterials in therapeutic treatments is an expanding area of basic research and shows great potential. One example I know of is using radio-frequency-sensitive carbon nanotubes to target tumors. However, there remain large question marks over the toxicity of nanomaterials. A great deal of work still needs to be done to investigate their interaction with cells, their clearance from the body (if they are ever completely cleared) and their long-term toxicity (if any).
There is ongoing research with gold nanoparticles that looks promising. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
