Thanks Shellybenoit for posting this.Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, also known as Moses Maimonides or the Rambam was not only one of the greatest Torah scholars of all time, he was a rabbi, physician, and philosopher in during the Middle Ages. Much of his career he was in the personal doctor of Saladin, the 12th Century Sultan of Egypt. Along with his great books on Jewish learning, he wrote 10 breakthrough medical books and had many medical cures that had been lost through time. One of them might have been found. A doctor at the University of Haifa has tested a compound based on an inedible plant that grows in Israel, and has found it shows excellent results in stopping prostate and colon cancer in mice, and in human cancer cells in vitro. This discovery was inspired by an ancient Arabic text, who's author just might be the former doctor of the sultan...To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Thanks, Civ for this fascinating information.
Further, do you folks have any idea how many chemicals tested show effects at this stage (that is, in vitro tests in cancer cell lines)? Thousands. This is pure hype that should not be given a second thought.
Invoking the Rambam's name to pimp a company is disgusting.
thanks, bfl
Now that’s just too cool!
