Break through in cancer treatment
According to a recent article I found on www.physorg.com
Medical College of Georgia researchers are seeking to refine cancer treatment with an anti-inflammatory plant derivative long used in Chinese medicine.
Celastrol, derived from trees and shrubs called celastracaea, has been used for centuries in China to treat symptoms such as fever, chills, joint pain and inflammation. The MCG researchers think it may also play a role in cancer treatment by inactivating a protein required for cancer growth.
That protein, P23, is one of many proteins helping the heat shock protein 90. Scientists are just beginning to realize the potential of controlling inflammation-related diseases, including cancer, by inhibiting HSP90.
This is great news, I also read somewhere else that they treated a dog with a tumour the size of a pop can using the same medicine mentioned above, the dog made a healthy recovery afterwards and suffered no side effects.
