Cell-destroying protein to boost cancer fight: scientists

Cell-destroying protein to boost cancer fight: scientists

The above link is to an interesting article regarding some new research into modifying our own immune system's natural defense in order to fight cancer cells and other diseases. This sounds great in theory, but I am concerned that doing so without knowing what all the implications of modifying our own natural immune defenses are may have unexpected side effects, such as only being able to fight what the defenses are modified to fight and nothing else. I wish there was more research into cancer prevention through natural means, as well as finding treatments and/or cures. That would not benefit the drug companies who are usually the ones that fund much of today's medical research, but one can dream.

Here's to your health and well-being,

Andrea B.
