Prof Bell acknowledges that the research is still in the very early stages, but he said: "I believe that some day, viruses and other biological therapies could truly transform our approach for treating cancer."

Not sure about the cover up but that sounds great. Hope it works.

Nanotechnology is going to save millions of lives in the not-so-distant future. As the article Q posted shows, nanoparticles and immune system research will be the next generation's penicillin discovery.

As far as patents go, let's not downplay how important that process is for the success of any medical treatment. Without patents, any Tom, Dick and Harry doctor could begin undervalued treatments out of their private practice.

medicine will not give up the radiation and chemo treatments until they are able to find something else that is that lucrative.

It's insane how paranoid people are.

You guys do realize that a medical breakthrough that could cure cancer would be worth about a trillion dollars?

Tap Water Pesticides Linked to Allergies
By Sydney Lupkin | ABC News Blogs – Mon, Dec 3, 2012 8:02 AM EST

As food allergies become increasingly common, a new study offers the first proof that they may be linked to pesticides found in tap water.

Researchers at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology used existing government data to see whether people with more dichlorophenols in their urine were more likely to have food allergies. Dichlorophenols are a kind of chlorine in certain pesticides that are known to kill bacteria, and in theory, they could be killing the naturally occurring bacteria in humans' digestive systems, causing food allergies.

"We wanted to see if there was an association between certain pesticides and food allergies, and we were specifically interested in dichlorophenols because those were the ones that had this antibacterial effect," said lead researcher Dr. Elina Jerschow. "When researchers have compared bacteria from the bowel in healthy kids versus bacteria in the bowel for kids that have lot of allergies, they've noticed a big difference."

The number of children and teens with food or digestive allergies in the United States has increased 18 percent between 1997 and 2007, according to a 2008 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's about 3 million people under 18 years old.

Eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat make up 90 percent of food allergies, according to the CDC report. Symptoms can range from mouth tingling to anaphylaxis, which is the swelling of the throat and tongue and can lead to death.

Jerschow clarified that the researchers were only looking for a statistical association, meaning they were not able to examine patients to see how these chemicals physically caused their allergies. Because it's only an association, these findings could mean that the chemicals caused the food allergies, or it could mean the food allergies caused the chemicals in the urine. That part is not yet clear.

"While the study does not allow concluding that pesticides are responsible for the allergies, it certainly raises the possibility and justifies pursuing the kinds of studies that can help sort of if these pesticides are, indeed, the cause," said Dr. Kenneth Spaeth, who directs the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Center at North Shore University Hospital. He was not a researcher involved in the study.

Spaeth said the study findings fit in with a growing evidence that pesticide exposure can damage the immune system, which could increase allergies as well.

Researchers were surprised to find that dichlorophenol levels in urine didn't vary between urban and rural areas, Jerschow said. They concluded that even those who opted for bottled water instead of tap water could ingest the pesticide chemical from eating fruit, fruit juices and foods with cocoa powder, like chocolate.

As such, Jerschow said the research is still too preliminary to suggest that Americans should change their eating or drinking habits.

Your buddy spend $45,000 on filtration systems? Did he make sure his kids didn't get their polio shots, too?

In general, you don't get rich on inventing something that kills more people, unless you invented the NRA.

Heard recently that an altered strain of the AIDS virus is being used to fight cancer in part because of its aggressive, cell penetrating nature. The thing that makes it so bad on one hand is making it great on the other. That is some outside-the-box thinking for sure.

Suicide would be your answer.

Stay out of this thread with shit like that.

I would have thought a brilliant mind such as yours would appreciate the Sean Connery "Medicine Man" quote since it fit so well.
Suicide, huh?
Very classy. I'll remember that when you get in your high horse about other people and the rules.
I wonder how that fits with the rules? Encouraging people to commit suicide.
Fascinating.

You're right. Rules aren't for everyone. Just when it fits an agenda.
Besides, I really want to reignite our friendship. It would be nice to put all this behind us.
I try, but grudges really aren't my thing.
