A new experimental treatment reportedly tricks cancer cells into self-destructing, without the use of any drugs
The treatment involves a nanoparticle coated in an amino acid called L-phenylalanine ... L-phenylalanine is the perfect bait as it is one of the main amino acids cancer cells require to grow and spread
The novel new treatment has proven incredibly successful on mice. The secret is the nanoparticle Nanoscopic phenylalanine Porous Amino Acid Mimic, or Nano-pPAAM for short. Nano-pPAAM triggers overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which causes a cascade effect inside the cancer cells, killing them while leaving surrounding, healthy cells unharmed.
The method kills roughly 80 percent of breast, skin, and gastric cancer cells ... without the nasty side effects

This sounds like one of the most promising methods of cancer treatment I've seen. Here's the basic explanation: Cancer cells need a certain amino acid called L-phenylalanine in order to grow. That's their "food", so to say. A kind of nanoparticle called Nano-pPAAM, for short, kills cancer. By coating Nano-pPAAM in L-phenylalanine, scientists are able to essentially force the cancer cells to kill themselves by (ingesting?) it inside of the L-phenylalanine.
This treatment is already proving to be extremely effective in mice, on par with the best radiation treatments available. Even better, there aren't unpleasant side effects.

I didn't know anything about this product - Scotchgard.
I've seen it before but knew nothing and didn't ponder it.
I just looked it up and see it's a very dangerous poison and should be banned for use around any life forms.
Its reformulation is dangerous as hell too. Having a shorter half life doesn't tell us anything. It could cause 10x the damage in 1/10th the time, being 100x more horrible yet they act like its half life is some determining factor on toxicity.

Holy cow! NESARA, really ? My dad "signed" all of us up for NESARA back in 1993 or 1994. Nesara hasnt happened yet, likely never will. By the way do you have your "nesara stamp" for the certified letter they are going mail to your house ? Because I do.

The Govt. is supposed to mail a certified letter thats when the stamp is to be used. I just checked it and the ink is still good, crazy!
