Mice Cured of Lung Cancer

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present Jimmy Swaggart. Mr. Swaggart is going to put hands on these little furry experimental creatures that have been infected with lung cancer and by being a conduit of the good Lord will cure them of this wretched disease.

Damn, 'ol Jimmy Boy couldn't have written it any better his own self.

I am proud to report that mouses no longer have to fear the agonizing death spiral caused by lung cancer. An embryonic stem cell-based vaccine injected into a mouse with lung cancer not only cures the creatures' lung cancer but vaccinates him from developing lung cancer in the future.

This was reported today by Professor John Eaton who is the Deputy Director of the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville, while speaking at a cancer treatment symposium in Prague. He explained that the research into the vaccines produced an 80-100 per cent success rate in the prevention of tumour growth in the mice who had been previously infected with lung cancer. Eaton continued, "Our results raise the exciting possibility of developing a prophylactic vaccine capable of preventing the appearance of various types of cancers in humans, especially those with hereditary, chronological or environmental predispositions to neoplastic disease."

Once again we know not where these stem-cells came from but I can tell you this. If it were me with lung cancer I wouldn't give a fly'n frizby where the stem-cell originated as long as they expunged the BIG "C" from my body. Of course we don't have this vaccine for humans... only for the little furry experimental animals.

But someday......
