How do they patent a bacteria??? I could work 100%, but we’ll never see it to market without patenting the bacteria!!!

Color me a little dubious. The idea is that the pro-drug will be activated in the low oxygen center of the tumor and succeed in reaching the borders of the tumor, the spreading part, and kill it there too. And if the center of the tumor has such a poor blood supply, how much of the pro-drug is going to reach it to be transformed by the enzyme? It’s a cool idea and I hope it works.

My father always said, “eating a little dirt is good for you.” I thought it was a philosophical position but now I know why. Maybe both are right.

Dead folks are buried in the dirt.

Dead folks don’t get cancer do they?

I rest my case.

Clostridium sporogenes, wow, that’s what I used for my science fair project! ;’)

It sounds very interesting... but I have to say that any member of the Clostridium species seriously worries me. Its cousins cause gangrene and botulin poisoning...
