New Treatment For Bacteria
A study has identified a therapy that can penetrate the slime that such infections use to protect themselves from antibiotics. Scientists showed that an antimicrobial peptide from cows has potential for treating incurable infections from the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae. The bacteria, commonly found in the intestines, is usually harmless. It becomes a health hazard when it enters other parts of the body and can cause pneumonia, urinary tract and wound infections. Those at highest risk include seniors and patients with other health problems such as diabetes, cancer, kidney failure and liver disease. (Science Daily)
mRNaTreatment for Brain Cancer is Promising
An mRNA cancer vaccine quickly reprogrammed the immune system to attack the most aggressive type of brain tumor in a first-ever human clinical trial.
In a first-ever human clinical trial of four adult patients, an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida quickly reprogrammed the immune system to attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor.
The results mirror those in 10 pet dog patients suffering from naturally occurring brain tumors whose owners approved of their participation, as they had no other treatment options, as well as results from preclinical mouse models. The breakthrough now will be tested in a Phase 1 pediatric clinical trial for brain cancer. (Science Daily)
Arizona Abortion News
A 160-year-old abortion ban written before Arizona became a state that punishes doctors with prison time is now one step away from being repealed after a pair of Republicans in the state Senate on Wednesday crossed party lines to join Democrats in voting it down.
Ok it is still a ban at 15 weeks there and Florida's 6 werk ban kicked in. Enough. Let's remind Congress to get in gear

Our atmosphere, soil, and water abound in chemicals, heavy metals and toxins, all of which contribute to a huge variety of diseases. It seems to me that cleaning up our environment would be way more useful than another drug or procedure for a narrow range of diseases or a single disease. What’s the point of another drug when we are thrown right back into the toxic soup? Oh right! I forgot. We only care about profits here. Human beings, non-human beings, the environment are simply not as important as the economy. Our entire “healthcare” system is a silly joke. It’s gotten where drugs and surgeries, and insurance companies dominate all else (outside of pockets of sanity here and there). I don’t even feel like a person in that system. Im just someone whose sysmptoms have to be analyzed quickly so the appropriate pharmaceutical can be subscribed so the specialist can get onto the next patient. Repeat. Until I die of poisoning by my own economic system. Are we crazy? We even want to treat the healthcare system as if symptoms were our only concern. That the real causes of our diseased system and atmosphere are too difficult to address.
