New Treatment From Australia For All Cancers

New submitter FirephoxRising writes "A new, protein-based treatment from the University of NSW breaks down cancers by destroying their internal protein structures. The approach has been tried before but always resulted in too much damage to muscles and the heart. The new approach allows the new class of drug to attack tumors without damaging normal cells. Professor Peter Gunning said, 'Our drug causes the structure of the cancer cell to collapse — and it happens relatively quickly.'"

    And it's just a coincidence that the largest poison and pesticide company is also the largest agricultural seed producer? I'm referring to Monsanto. Who's to say that all of these genetically modified foods have zero adverse effects?
