This is so cool!!! "Those tiny black dots are nanobots delivering a lethal blow to a cancerous cell, effectively killing it".

    "It sneaks in, evades the immune system, delivers the siRNA, and
    the disassembled components exit out."


    "The 70-nanometer attack bots—made with two polymers and a protein
    that attaches to the cancerous cell's surface—carry a piece of
    RNA called small-interfering RNA (siRNA), which deactivates the
    production of a protein, starving the malign cell to death. Once
    it has delivered its lethal blow, the nanoparticle breaks down
    into tiny pieces that get eliminated by the body in the urine."


    There's something about allowing -anything- to enter our body
    by evading our immune system, that really bothers the hell out of me.

    Our bodies are fine-tuned devices that can last for generations
    without outside intervention. Wild animals don't have animal
    HMOs to deal with..... Yet they manage to live full lives in
    the wild (unless eaten by something higher in the food chain).

    There are already substances that do what those "nanobots"
    allegedly can do, but are continually being ignored, overlooked,
    or disregarded as "quack medicine".

    Survival can be hell when there's money involved;
    Greed manages to live longer than philanthropy.

    Wishing better health for all.

    Brooks, John and everyone else, I still say nanotechnology is a
    big development, huge. Its the use of microscopically small material that is not supposed to harm our body and these particles, once injected into us, can tell the difference between cancerous and noncancerous cells and affixed to these particles is a tiny does of cancer-killing chemo, which, unlike current chemo, will not cause collateral damage to healthy cells.
    Articles from scientific, medical and research journals are published alnost weekly on this topic.......steve


    PS: a namnometer is one billionth of a meter; there are a bunch of them under this period "."
    See em?

    I'm sick O'science
    Re:

    Like radiation?

    I previously listed natural, medicinal strength herbs, that are
    well known and respected for their ability to single out cancer
    cells and keep them from getting the glucose they need.

    Those herbs have been around for thousands of years, and are
    extremely inexpensive.

    I also listed links to "Hydrazine Sulfate", an MAOI based chemical
    that manages to isolate cancer cells and keep them from taking
    in glucose.

    That item cost is about $60 for a full term of treatment.

    There are many other routes to take also, but all are denounced
    as "worthless" by the same industry that promotes their high dollar,
    greed driven approach to health care.

    I prefer the herbal route, and will go the HS route only if I find
    the absolute need to. And yes, even chemotherapy isn't totally
    out of the question, since HS is akin to that......

    But.... anything that evades your immune system is evading your
    own, built-in defense system. I do not see that as anything good
    at all, at any level. You can't fool Mom nature and get away with it.

    Yeah, John, but what else are you supposed to do?
    When I was Dxed as 3c I was so scared that all i wanted was to start treatment recommended by my doctors ASAP so tumor wouldn't grow or spread anymore. Even if I wanted to do an exhaustive study of Eastern traditional medicine or herbal treatments,of which i knew a little, I felt there was no time to fiddle. i know you're doing all right with your regimen; I'm too afraid to try anything other than the "traditionl medical" approach to my diseas. To each his own as long as we live to fight another day, with hopefully less misery and pain than the day before......steve

    PS: I still think nanotech is the wave of the future....In a way, anything we put in our body can hurt/help us, to wit:water, if polluted enough will kill; too much of certain herbs, foodstuffs, nutrients can kill also. doing nothing and eventually you die any way. This is just a means to stay alive with a meaningful life.....
