Cancer Smart Bomb Research By Lance
Winslow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you remember the Smart Bomb footage of the Gulf Wars on CNN, where the bomb
was launched and you watched on full video as the smart munitions flew thru
someone’s window and exploded? Well, some really brilliant folks at MIT had an
idea. A cancer drug which could go to a cancer cell and penetrate it like a
sponge and then seal-a-meal itself in the cancerous region. Then go off and
attack the cancerous region without hurting nearby cells. Wow. How did they do
it? Using nano-articles, that’s how.
The lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins goes off like the Mother of All Bombs and
does not hurt the non-cancerous cells. It has been tested on Melanoma and Lewis
Lung Cancer in rats so far. Soon clinical trials and tests will begin on real
people, but everyone is very excited and pretty certain this will work very
well. It was a group effort at MIT, between nano tech, bio-medicine and cancer
researchers. They are confident that it will be better for the patient than the
chemotherapy due to the reduction of toxicity to the healthy surrounding tissue
cells.
By using this new research and methodology the MIT team hopes to cur off enemy
supply lines, while dropping smart anti-cancer drugs on the cancer cells.
Similar to starving out enemy insurgents and then attacking them from the air
with precision smart bombs, a strategy which is currently ripping the heart out
of our enemy. The nano cell or super Navy Seal like team, is like a balloon
within a localized grid of the modern net-centric battlespace. A balloon within
a balloon, where it releases the treatment, an anti-angiogenic drug; thus the
blood vessels feeding the tumor then collapse, which means the loaded
nanoparticles are trapped in the tumor, and release the chemotherapy. It worked
in the mice, now it is time to use this to attack cancerous areas in humans.
Eighty percent of the mice survived over 65 days; the best so far would have
been only 30 days. The untreated mice died at less than 20 days. The nanocell
treatment worked best on melanoma than lung cancer, but with a little work the
researchers believe they will have an answer for safer treatment for many types
of cancers and drastically increase the odds of survival. The future where
cancer is conquered is rapidly approaching, that is good news for the World and
it means more Lance Armstrong types amongst us. Think on this, because it is all
good and it will be here soon.
