We're all doomed!!!!!

So it comes down to whether you'd rather be cancer stricken or HIV stricken.

Interesting. Mind you, HIV is very treatable now-a-days. It only remains an epidemic because less developed countries do not have the capabilities through which to treat it. This could be a major break through.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

if you read the article they use "harmless hiv" put it in white blood cells and somehow make it so the white blood cells only target and kill those cancer cells. The people got symptoms similar to any time your body fights a pathogen off

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

And they can now cure HIV with stem cells and bone marrow transplants, so you just have to have a twofer.

Wow, this is crazy stuff, and looks like it was published in the major journals, so not as shady as that other time someone posted a cure for cancer article.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Yep it made it into the new england journal of medicine, it's crazy that they almost didn't get funding

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Wow, this is some impressive and freaky s**t!

I always figured we would find the cure to cancer and viruses like HIV in animal DNA. Who would have thought the cure to cancer would have been found in the HIV virus strain itself? Ha...

 

[Timstuff]

I have a cure for syphilis, but it involves a shotgun...

 

[the amazing fro]

Very Interesting. Obviously more tests need to be made but its a start. Who would have thunk it that a cure for one of humanities deadliest diseases stemmed from another one!?

???

 

[Ipodman]

Mr Terrific will cure YOU!

 

[Lencho01]

This is wild. I'll have to talk to my professors about this when classes start.

 

[Donut]

All we need now is an outbreak of this thing & then were ****ed. It always starts good at first. Only for it to slowly turn into something bad. Doesn't these guys watch movies ?

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Mr Terrific will cure YOU!

I'll cure what ail's ya!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Shame on the National Cancer Institute for not funding this. This is great news!

And they didn't inject HIV into the cancer patients, they only used the virus to transform the WBCs which is what they gave to the patients. No chance of these people getting HIV.

An outbreak of white blood cells would be insane...if it weren't completely impossible.

 

[Casius--J]

Pretty cool and interesting news, I hope they get to experiment more with this and truly find out its effects.

 

[WolfCypher]

Didn't we just cure cancer some months ago?

Seriously? All these cancer cures and I'm not seeing anyone getting them out to us.

It takes a lot longer than a few months to go from a few successful experiments to your doctor's office. More experiments and legal matters.

 

[chaseter]

And money matters. Big Pharma's gotta get a cut.

 

[Marx]

This is very impressive.

 

[terry78]

Just don't test it on apes first. You know what will happen.
