OK, yesterday's big story was the lame walking; today we are raising the dead, or nearly so.
Aren't there any surprises anymore!

This is the precursor article for the "Enzymes shown to have no effect.." article scheduled to come out in June, 2007.

Don't be so sure. I keep an eye on these issues, and it seems to me that real progress is being made.
To: SolutionsOnly
It may not be this one, it may be some other, but soon and for real, it will come. The increment of knowledge we will amass in the next one generation (two at the most), about biology, will dwarf everything medicine has figured out from the invention of writing to the present. The technology and supporting methods and knowledge from other fields have arrived. It is now just a matter of applying them. Imaging, chemistry, data analysis - all the tools we have now are beyond the wildest fantasies doctors could conceive a single century ago. Baring civilization scale disaster, it is now just a matter of time.

I know. I'm just editorializing on 'health benefit' journalism - like last week's news that Vitamin E supplementation might not be so good for you after all. Oopsie!
I'm made skeptical by too many premature announcements.
To: Threepwood
There is very real progress being made in the realm of cancer treatment. However, any article describing a treatment with little or no side effects should be viewed with skepticism. Every drug has side effects...you just need to wait sometimes, because the side effects may not be immediately apparent.

As with other new medical insights, the quickest application for the public will likely be through nutritional supplements. The hard part is getting good scientific and medical information that places new research in context and offers practical recommendations. From what I have seen, Life Extension Foundation seems to be the best at doing so.

We could sure use this now. A friend of ours has terminal cancer and her current therapy is not working.

This is great news and hopefully will show promise for humans very soon.

Phew...If John Edwards had had this "discovery" at his finger-tips just one month ago, Dubya wouldn't have been elected President.

Aren't there any surprises anymore! Walking on water soon to follow.

Will the patient have to take this drug for the remainder of their life?
Is this a cure or a treatment?
Cool stuff.
To: Stellar Dendrite
Boy, would that be wonderful. My Irish Wolfhound is undergoing chemo right now for Lymphoma. It's devistating how fast it spreads and how you can think you have everything under control and suddenly, the cancer pops up in one of the organs. They can go from healthy and active one day, to completely overwhelmed the next.
If they can find a way to block that it would be a blessing for everyone.
