My Mrs and research

Ive posted here before that Mrs Stomper Phd is a researcher in Viral oncology. At a meeting at the National Institute of health today they were dicussing my cancer. A fellow researcher asked her if she had read his paper in Science (a VERY well respected, peer reviewed publication. The study discovered that cancerous mice being treated with drugs like Optiva/Nivo (Checkpoint inhibitors) do significantly better if given live yoghurt containing the Bifidus bacterium. Most but not all live yoghurts contain Bifidus
I would want to stress that this is research in the very early stages, hence the mice. But its well Kosher and respectable being published in peer reviewed 'Science'
Anyway ladies and gentlespoons get out and buy that yoghurt with bifidus!
Sometimes its good to be married to an oncologist:-)
The oncologist who wrote the paper and spoke to my wife, when he found out what drug I was on apparently said, "If I was him I'd be eating yoghurt every day"
So I will.
