Scientists discover virus that kills all types of breast cancer ‘within seven days’, page 1

So here's some good news for a change:

The virus, known as adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2), is naturally occurring and carried by up to 80 percent of humans, but it does not cause any disease.

Researchers learned of its cancer-killing properties in 2005, after Penn State scientists observed it killing cervical cancer cells. They also found that women who carried the AAV2 virus and human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer, had a lower propensity to develop cervical cancer.

When combined in a lab recently, AAV2 eradicated all the breast cancer cells "within seven days," according to researchers. Better still, it proved capable of wiping out cancer cells at multiple stages, negating the need for differing treatments used today.

What great news for women!

If they can bring something to market in our lifetimes, that is...Or if the research scientists aren't killed by Big Pharma.

brilliant, about time. now we can put all our donations into other causes
not to sound rude but breast cancer got a hell of a lot of attention when we should be focusing on a range of problems

but i believe we have known the cure to cancer and many other diseases for a while now.
remember profit always comes above your health when it comes to big pharma!

Let's hope they market this faster than they do their chemicals solutions to threat and fight cancer...

I mean, 6 years, and all they could find was that it could kill cancer cells in 7 days? Strange...

Anyway, let's prey for the best.

Also, it makes me think of bacteriophages. Maybe other viruses can be found that will eat cancer cell of other types as if it was candy!

What an interesting virus. It seems that it has found a welcome place in the Human body simply by being helpful. Little do Humans realize it but their health depends on a range of organisms that live inside us.

Clinical features: Adenoviruses most commonly cause respiratory illness; however, depending on the infecting serotype, they may also cause various other illnesses, such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis (bladder infection), and rash illness. Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Young infants and especially patients with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), which was first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections.

en.wikipedia.org...

[edit]Viruses
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The most commonly implicated virus is a rhinovirus (30–50%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.[4][14][15] Others include: coronavirus (10–15%), influenza (5–15%),[4] human parainfluenza viruses, human respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, enteroviruses, and metapneumovirus.[9]

The common cold is part of it, but the common cold is referred to usually as the rhinovirus (that's the most common). Adenovirus itself is responsible for quite a few infections as per the link. Calling the common cold adenovirus is like saying all cars are Ferrari's.

Awesome find.

I guess I should have been more specific. Sorry, it's been 15 years since I took a microbiology course. Here's what the CDC says about adenovirae:

I should have said it is one of the causes of the common cold.

Cheers Pred.

Does this remind anyone of "I am legend" with Will Smith?

Oh, this will go away. Big Pharma is NOT going to like this. I could make a list longer than a football field of promising cures that have been squashed.

Read this article: It will really get your blood boiling:

A small Canadian community's success with curing cancer naturally was recently crushed, forcing its provider into exile in Europe. Rick Simpson had discovered a cure for himself and then had shared it at no cost with others in the small rural town of Maccan, Nova Scotia.

That's what I was thinking - great news, a natural cure/preventative , but when BigPharma™ decides to genetically modify the virus so they can patent it, it will almost assuredly lead to zombie apocalypse. Let's just hope they're the old-school slow/dumb zombies.

"I Am Legend" is a book. The various film adaptations are hogwash. It is short, and worth reading. That being said, I sure hope this cure is legit. But it does beg the question: if we find a cure for everything, and start to live longer, healthier lives, won't we need to colonize other planets with a quickness? I know there is still plenty of room on Earth, but at a certain point that all breaks down. Something about bacteria in a jar and whatnot. It's only half-full one minute and the next minute it breaks. I'm all for the cure, but what then?

The Illuminati owns the movie industry and they like to give you hints in movies of what they are going to do next to you, if you haven't figured that out yet.
