This is AMAZING. Why isnt this top news?! I can think of a million things to use this for .. wonder how pharma will respond though. This has been known since 1999... and no word of it that Ive ever read and I keep up with this sort of thing.


Opossums may someday provide an antidote to nearly all forms of poison, including everything from snakebites to ricin.

add another to the list of suppressed break thru's never to be heard of again in public.

but rest assured, all research will be taken over by the military, perfected and then carefully dispensed to the higher ups as they seek immortality to avoid, possibly, the fires of hell.

LOL! You know when the husband and I were talking about this he said it would have mil applications and would be slow coming if ever to civs... aka chem and bio warfare vaccine.

The reason it's not top news is because opposum poison cures come at a steep price: test rats did, indeed, survive numerous (dozens) of poisons, however, they began to play dead. Scientists fear that initial human test subjects will emulate the rats' side effect: falling over in an involuntary and quite sudden narcolyptic state upon the site of anything the subconscious might perceive to be a threat. In the rats' case, they were shown images of cats, chickens and photographs of former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and presidential candidate Mitt Romney. They fell into a frightened stupor each time.

This is amazing news! It's strange that it has been known for some thirteen years now and this is the first I have heard of it. I will definitely keep my eye on this one! Thanks!

Wait a second. I thought that Opossums were highly resistant to rabbies.

Kinda makes sense now.

Yep. They are the cockroach of the mammal world.. errr marsupial.
The more I looked into this online the more amazed that this research hasnt been hidden... it just hasnt been highlighted. You get out there and you will be amazed by this research and what all it combats. Ricin to Anthrax.

www.scielo.br... This site shows the actual test results. 0/3 deaths in opossum protein recipients vs 3/0 in the control group.....EVERY time. This was done in TX with the assistance of Japan. This is so huge. It just proves my theory that the government doesn't reallly want to cure disease.

I've heard of the mountain folk in my old area using the saliva for remedies. I don't know if this is related but those folks did alot of weird stuff.

Only if they clone this without hurting the opposum I hope. Because its not good news for the creatures themselves.

I wonder what they EAT in their usual diets? Also what other habits my it have that may be responsible for its immunity. Sometimes I think if sewer rats & racoons were observed do to them eating some of the most unhealthyiest things there may be health helpful potentials their. It seems what ever you eat can effect your immunity to things so with that what is in the possums regular diet? Nice find Op

So the proteins from an animal that plays dead keeps you from dying? If we take it do we play dead if scared?


It'll never be accepted here in America, the pharma companies and medical industry will say it's not true. They can't approve something that would jeopardize their income.

I guess buzzards might have gotten the news. I noticed yesterday that they had picked clean the bones of a road kill in about an hour. However, after consider thought and rejecting the simple idea that they might have just been hungry, I supposed they are already about immune to most of that bad stuff seeing as how they eat stuff that die from about anything all of the time anyhow.

If any of you researchers are reading this thread, I suggest you turn your attention to turkey buzzards next. Hell, maybe the big pharms will be beating a path to your door if you find something, Now remember who suggested to you to look (literally) into buzzards, ya' hear?
