Tick Saliva Could Cure Skin, Liver and Pancreas Cancer

Who ever thought that cancer cure could be from blood sucking parasites? Scientists in Brazil according to the AFP, discovered by accident a protein in the saliva of a common South American tick, Amblyomma cajennense that has the ability to destroy cancer cells and leaving healthy cells alone.

How is this possible?

The scientist stumbled upon a protein called Factor X active, and this protein according to the researchers, shares some characteristics with a common anti-coagulant called TFPI (Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor), specifically a Kunitz-type inhibitor which also has been shown to interfere with cell growth. After running several experiments and tests, the protein killed cancerous cells while keeping the other cells healthy.

“To our surprise it didn’t kill normal cells, which were also tested,” Chudzinski-Tavassi said. “But it did kill the tumorous cells that were being analyzed.”

How, Where, and When cancer cure will be available is still unknown for all scientists. They are experimenting and exploring everything “even a Tick saliva” because they don’t know where is the solution.

Could a Single Virus Destroy Humankind?

If were to think of what kind of virus would be really able to infect the vast of majority of the world wide population and cause a world wide catastrophe, it would be one can infect a person, remain symptomless for few weeks but sill be able to spread that virus to other of people. In that scenario, by the time every body got sick from that virus infection, there would be hundreds but thousands of people who are already infected but they don’t know about it. And that will make it very difficult for public health measures to stop or eliminate that virus from spreading.

It’s a difficult task to ask of a virus is to be able to spread to someone without causing a disease, there maybe interact link between causing a disease and spreading a virus, in the cause of flu you have to cough or sneeze to spread the virus. Many viruses may need these type of interaction from people to be able to spread, random common contact may be not enough for the virus to infect a lot of people. It will be very difficult for virus or a particle disease to completely kill all human kind.

• Even though we are interconnected, there are some people who are not in contact with others and there for the virus will not spread to those.
• Any virus is spreading is going to expose people to different doses, some people the immune system will destroy in and therefore they will get rid of the virus or disease.
• Humans are very diverse population with respect to their genes, and it turns out that a lot of the diversity we see comes in these immune system genes, and so to one particular virus or pathogen there is small percentage of people that has natural occurring resistance to that infection or virus.
• There always be a group of people who will be resistance to that virus or disease.

Green Tea Is Great For Your Bone

Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one.” (Ancient Chinese Proverb)”.

Green tea is well known to be great drink for your body and health. Some of the major benefits involve cancer, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function. But have you ever thought that it would slow down bone breakdown dramatically.

Thats what scientist at Ping Chung Leung of Institute of Chinese Medicine found out, they said that green tea boosted the activity of a key enzyme that promotes bone growth by up to 79 percent, and blocked the activity of a type of cell known as an osteoclast that breaks down or weakens bones

Green tea is my favorite drink, its my number one drink of all time. I have never tried the flavored ones, but they smell also good.
