Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research
FortKnox writes "Two possible medical breakthroughs have come to light in recent days. In Australia, it was discovered that pineapple extract can stimulate the body to attack cancer cells. And in Japan, Kumamoto University researchers have developed a drug that will block cells from the AIDS virus, thus making something akin to an AIDS vaccine." From the Australian news: "One of the molecules, CCZ, stimulates the body's immune system to target and kill cancer cells, the other, CCS, blocks a protein called Ras, which is defective in 30 percent of all cancers. QIMR researcher Tracey Mynott said her team had set out to find why the enzyme-rich bromelaine crush had such strong effects on biological material."

FWIW, encryption has a "Y", description has an "I".
Since we're on the topic of FWIW's.
They're working on one right now...it's called 'Christian Fundamentalism'...preliminary trials have shown it to be moderately effective against Islam, but studies suggest that this 'cure' may be even more dangerous than the 'disease'.
