So now stinging nettles and ants are to be protected species, no longer subject to eradication.

Didn’t understand much of the article, nut go us! I hate cancers!

Big pharma will not allow this.

[Red Badger]

It can be made in lab, it just happens to be a natural compound, that stings when an ant bites you or the nettle stings you................

Maybe they were on to something...

I loved that movie!

Especially when that witch-doctor kicked Sean Connery’s ass!...........

After years of field work farming, I'm not sure if I would prefer the disease over the nettles as a cure.

I used to get Dilantin injected intravenously every four hours for a few months to prevent seizures from head trauma. I liken the burning to that of nettles, only coursing thru your veins. They eventually had to sedate me for the pain and anxiety of those Dilantin injections. It killed off a few good veins from phlebitis too.

Not to worry, this just uses the Sodium Formate as a catalyst INSIDE the cancer cells.............

So how do they get it inside the cancer cells?

I just pray I don't need to revisit the one and encounter the other.

Nettles will make anything wish it was dead for about a half hour.

If I knew that, I’d be a cancer researcher!.............

Cool.

“organic-osmium”?
Osmium is one of the rarest substances on earth.
At $13000 per kilogram, this med will cost a fortune.

I know a fellow who traveled to New Guinea and had an encounter with stinging nettles in a most unfortunate place. Says they are absolutely NO fun!

[eldoradude]

Ovarian cancers are becoming increasingly resistant to existing chemotherapy drugs

Interesting, wonder if that is similar to antibiotic resistance.

[Red Badger]

Medication will probably be in the micrograms level................

I know a fellow who traveled to New Guinea and came back with malaria that almost killed him.

All the local hospital had to treat it was quinine.

He had a bad allergic reaction to it and went into a coma for a week.................

Heard a similar story about a lady who got off a plane from India with malaria symptoms and was misdiagnosed because no one in the hospital she went to here had ever seen it.
