New ideas for saving Tasmanian Devils
Posted by ERV on May 7, 2013 I cannot deal with the fact Tasmanian Devils are being driven to extinction by a contagious, untreatable cancer. I cannot deal with it. Click on the first link to see the science behind the tragedy: Numbers arent enough Click on the second link to see why I cannot deal with this, psychologically: Oh no… Cedric…
‘Dismal prognosis’ with leukemia? Nothing a GMO virus cant fix.
Posted by ERV on March 25, 2013 Using a genetically modified HIV-1 to genetically modify leukemia patients T-cells to teach them how to kill the cancer? YAWN! Thats childs play, at this point. Lets give those GMO viruses a real challenge. Lets get them to fight a real bastard form of leukemia– B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) in adults. In kids, B-ALL…
GMO Newcastle Disease Virus vs Prostate Cancer
Posted by ERV on March 1, 2013 Another day, another disease treatment strategy based off a genetically modified virus! Prostate Specific Antigen Retargeted Recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus for Prostate Cancer Virotherapy. This one is so clever, you guys. It is so freaking clever! Some of you might know that sometimes, when prostate cancer is present, there is an elevated level of ‘Prostate…
ERMAHGERD! ERVALANCH! Side-effect of vaccines: Cancer protection???
Posted by ERV on February 13, 2013 Here is a nice open access review article on ERVs and their association with cancer: Human endogenous retroviruses and cancer prevention: evidence and prospects While thats wonderfully interesting, what I want to focus on is a bit at the end. More information I have never heard before– An amino acid sequence similar to HERV-K-MEL, recognized…
ERMAHGERD! ERVALANCH! ERVs and melanoma
Posted by ERV on February 12, 2013 I was actually unaware of this– But melanoma is Yet Another Disease that has been associated with wayward ERV transcription and translation. Scientists have found inappropriate ERV RNA, protein, and anti-ERV antibodies in melanoma patients. This is the first paper to break down ‘melanoma’ into subtypes (like ‘cancer’ is not monolithic, all ‘melanomas’ are not…
New weapon in the pipeline: GMO herpes vs Ovarian and Breast Cancer (+ metastasis!)
Posted by ERV on February 4, 2013 This is one of the cool ideas not included in the 1800 human gene therapy trials because its still in animal models, not humans: Preclinical Therapy of Disseminated HER-2+ Ovarian and Breast Carcinomas with a HER-2-Retargeted Oncolytic Herpesvirus If Ive said it once, Ive said it 1000 times: ‘Cancer’ is not a monolithic entity. We…
Hold off on the chemo! Herpes doesnt like it!
Posted by ERV on January 28, 2013 Hey remember how I told you all scientists are using herpes, the regular-ol much hated cold-sore virus, to treat/cure cancers? The approach has left us with miraculous effects… or no effects at all. I mean, half of the melanoma patients lived A LOT LONGER than they were supposed to, several of them ending up with…
GMO virus cures kid of cancer, mainstream media finally interested
Posted by ERV on December 11, 2012 A lot of folks have been forwarding me this story from the New York Times– In Girl’s Last Hope, Altered Immune Cells Beat Leukemia It is a FANTASTIC story about a little girl who had been sick from leukemia for two years, wasnt responding to conventional therapies, and her parents chose to try alternative medicine. …
Immune system! SHUSH! The viruses are trying to get some work done!
Posted by ERV on November 26, 2012 Scientists all around the world are creating legions of genetically modified viruses to treat/cure human afflictions, from nicotine addiction to hemophilia (A and B). One disease a lot of folks are focused on in brain cancer. Certainly not a monolithic entity– but scientists are working on viruses against them all. One of the viruses on…
GMO viruses vs Pancreatic Cancer: RELEASE THE PUMAS!
Posted by ERV on October 29, 2012 NICE! Gene therapy of pancreatic cancer targeting the K-Ras oncogene Cancer sucks, but some kinds of cancers suck worse than others. One that really sucks is pancreatic cancer. From the intro of this paper: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men and women, comprising 6% of all cancer-related death.…
