I am confused and confounded. I read an article in discover magazine about a compound that scientists found that makes cancer cells kill themselves. I followed these scientists and their discoveries while I went to school and wrote a literature review for my senior project. I've since graduated, yet have heard next to nothing in American media. Even scientists I have been lucky enough to talk to blink a blank eye, 'no, I've never heard of that', when I bring it up. So let me tell the world on this little blog thatI hope people stumble across. I'll keep it simple. E-mail me if you want to hear the scientific technical language.
Way, way back in '95 some scientist were investigating breast milk. Breast milk has all sorts of amazing properties that help our babies be healthy. These scientists wanted to learn more about how breast milk fought germies. So they did what scientists usually do. They grew a bunch of cancerous cells in a dish, did some science stuff to the breast milk and poured it on the cells. SHABAM! When they next looked, the breast milk had convinced the cancer cell life wasn't worth living. The cells curled up and committed suicide! The researchers were surprised. The Lund University researchers, being inquisitive scientists, settled in for the long haul of investigating this phenomenon. They found out which parts of the breast milk convince tumor cells to die and some part of how they do it. They found they could synthesize these parts. They unleashed this team of cancer killers on a lot of different tumors. The parts, we'll call them Alpha-Lac (top secret cancer killing agent) and Oleic Acid (technical support to Alpha-Lac in the spy war on cancer), got in and executed every type of cancer they were put up against. Pretty nifty huh?
Note: Before everybody goes out and starts to drink breastmilk, you gotta know that some pretty specific stuff has to happen to straight breastmilk to activate it before it can be called to duty. You can think of Alpha-lac and Oleic Acid as sleeper cells that need to be given a signal to come out of hiding and turn into cancer killing machines.
