rooster59 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thai research team discovers chemicals which can stop cancer from growing A research team of Naraesuan University has successfully extracted chemicals from the latex of Rak plant (Calotropis gigantea) which are capable of inhibiting the function of a protein which is essential for the growth of cancerous cells, said Dr Supawadee Pahera, a lecturer at the faculty of pharmacy of the university. She added that the chemicals were found to be capable of resisting H1N1 flu virus in the early stage of infection and stopping enzyme which causes tissue inflammation. Dr Supawadee said that this research work would pave the way for the search of new medicines for the treatment of certain ailments.

aussieinthailand Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So these guy's are a different research team from the ones that claimed the cure for Ebola virus? And they have a little something to help resistance of H1N1. Ahhhh LOS the hub of everything... But ok, if it's true then great!!! Then maybe 21million baht for more research for this instead of junket's too Hawaii for 38 people...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alive Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm pretty sure they had a cure for HIV and Ebola. They might already have a cure for cancer somewhere in their records. Whatever the case, I think Prayuth should contact world leaders and let them know and call in the international press to make a statement. With the record Thailand has so far at ending these scourges, the future looks bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

performance Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Great work and good to see some advanced workings in Thailand. Although is not proven and it can not be called a cure. Let's test it on a western patient under observation via western specialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother Preecha has formed a construction company ran by his son who has no experience what so ever. So there to busy to make life saving reports.

Loeilad Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 THis is largely misinformed media hype - there is no single cancer there many types and a "cure" is unlikely - the scientists merely claim that the chemical reactions they have recorded may lead to further treatments for some kinds of diseases or cancers - they don't claim any breakthrough - the press however want to sell papers and in all countries the "cure for cancer" headline is sure to be a winner.

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I thought there was a cure already called Marijuana but its banned in so many countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowsdawdle Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 H1N1 is a seasonal influenza virus. What has this to do with cancer? The only mention of this in a Google search quotes Thaivisa, Thai PBS, a Phuket hotel website, and a Thai facebook page. But the most significant aspect of this whole hoopla is that ten years ago the NIH was already reporting on this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie61 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 My housekeeper sold me a bottle of this too. It only costs 1200 baht a bottle, and cures not only cancer, but type 2 diabetes and arthritis as well. She claims it is scientologically proven. If anyone out there needs some, I can arrange a special deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere is not sufficient evidence to support that and the very idea that one item can cure all cancers just shows how wroong the concept is.

If I remember correctly the ebola ' breakthrough ' was to be given to the UN for testing which might take a year supposedly but I have no idea if it was ever actually submitted. As usual all the talking was from Thai sources. Consider so many things here, all the grand schemes, and fine words, crackdowns, purges etc where the headlines are grabbed then it all goes quiet.

Goes along side the cures for Ebola And HIV You need to read Ben Goldacre "Bad Science" - it explains the process by which a drug is identified, tested, verified and finally becomes an available medicine. This is no such thing. all that the Thai team has done is identified some chemicals that restrict the rate of growwth of some cancer cells - presumably in a petri-dish....this is a LONG, LONG way even from clinical trials let alone treatment for humans ....the processes they have used will be peer-reviewed in due course now that they have published their research. Sadly the media haven't a clue about what is going on so they start blathering about "cure for cancer" - which in itself is virtually a medical oxymoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
