Vaccine for breast cancer?

Saturday, June 5, 2010

The vaccine for breast cancer may have been found.

A protein targeting method may be able to bring out revolutionary advances in medicine. A vaccine currently being devloped could be extremely effective versus breast cancer.The way it works is that it makes the immune system target proteins named alpha-lactalbumin, these live in almost all breast tumours. Examinations of the vaccine were tested on rats, the results were successful in preventing and shrinking tumours that its creator believe that testing the vaccine on women by next year is not out of the question. Dr Vincent Tuohy an immune system expert at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, claims that the results could be “monumental”. The vaccine is thought to be possibly able of preventing up to 70% of breast cancers. There are also hopes that, with further development, techniques like this could be effective against other types of cancer.

Fresh air is just as effective as caffeine

 

Only twenty minutes outdoors is needed tohave a greater pick-me-up effect than a cupful of caffeine, psychologists say.

Even if you don't do any physical activity, one can easily become more energized when going outdoors.

A bond between the human body and the natural world makes us 'feel more alive', psychology professor Richard Ryan said.

A state researcher of New York points out that: 'Nature is fuel for the soul. Often when we feel depleted we reach for a cup of coffee, but this suggests a better way to get energized is to connect with nature.'

Five experimentation's were done on over 500 different students who volunteered. They were exposed to an assortment of both active & passive set of circumstances both inside and out.

The conclusions that were drawn displayed an incredible increase in energy after only 20 min. of time outdoors, and they felt like that had more energy just by the thought of being exposed to fresh air.
