BS Cancer is not a fungi. It is your own body’s cells mutated and growing out of control.

Apoptosis prevents this by killing the cell once it knows its under attack. That’s what this therapy does. The cell commits suicide rather than allow it to be used to produce other bad RNA.

This may also be an extremely effective anti-viral therapy.

The idea here is that once the breach occurs, the mitochondria triggers cell death. Some virus’ mutate to prevent the cell’s ‘chemical alarm’ that activates the mitochondria from commiting apoptosis.

There is a similar therapy being tested (so far successfully in mice) against the cold, ebola, hemhorragic fever, and hantavirus. The current issue of Wired magazine has the story.
