i have to give minimal info due to paperwork associated with my company.
herpes is helping cure cancer and they are said to remove the negative contangent from the virus, so the virus is >>>>edited<<<<.
once that is removed they can use something called gene vectoring.....
since viruses attack cells and reprogram them to help the virus survive by tell the cell how to replicate with viral information to spread to other cells. think computer virus.
so , in order to kill cancer cells you must tell it to kill itself since cancer is like a ninja cell. shit is damn near perfect. i am still amazed and in awe of how it works. it will straight up kill its host to survive.
but anayway.
the body has a natural programming that tells it when to kill cells so that other cells wont be damaged . its called apoptosis. a woman menstrual cycle is an example of apoptosis. the uterus is releasing damaged cells thru a period. a damaged call can cause an infection that will spread to others...so the body tells the cell to kill itself.
now the herpes virus carries alot of information. and remember that its a virus..so it is there to survive.
but what if the editing of the herpes cell carried information to other cells to infect any cancer cell and have it reprogrammed to kill itself, with apoptosis? chemo i believe helps the cancer cells kill themselves. so if you can use a shot in the arm instead of chemo..i think more people would go for it. but heres the thing....cancer produces shit to stop apoptois within itself that in turn promotes unlimited growth.
but then again...you have to worry about what other info is in that herpes cell...since its so big and can carry alot of info.
sounds a bit confusing but it is truly amazing if you are into that type thing like i am.
i was once working at FSU and this guy was growing cancer in a big bottle.....shit looks like chewed gum. and to think that little thing can kill a smallmouse up to a 300 lbs muscular grown man...shit is amazing.
