Nano-particles & Bee Venom Can Kill HIV – New Study by Enouwem(m): 12:29am On Mar 11, 2013 |
Nanoparticles smaller than HIV were infused with the bee venom toxin, explains U.S. News & World Report. A "protective bumper" was added to the nanoparticle's surface, allowing it to bounce off normal cells and leave them intact. Normal cells are larger than HIV, so the nanoparticles target HIV, which is so small it fits between the bumpers. “Melittin on the nanoparticles fuses with the viral envelope,” said research instructor Joshua L. Hood, MD, PhD, via the news release. “The melittin forms little pore-like attack complexes and ruptures the envelope, stripping it off the virus.” Adding, “We are attacking an inherent physical property of HIV. Theoretically, there isn’t any way for the virus to adapt to that. The virus has to have a protective coat, a double-layered membrane that covers the virus.” This revelation can lead to the development of a vaginal gel to prevent the spread of HIV and, it seems, an intravenous treatment to help those already infected. “Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel as a preventive measure to stop the initial infection,” said Hood. The bee venom HIV study was published on Thursday in the journal Antiviral Therapy, according to U.S. News & World Report. This study comes on the heels of news that a Mississippi baby with HIV has apparently been cured. The mother was diagnosed with HIV during labor and the baby received a three-drug treatment just 30 hours after birth, before tests confirmed the infant was infected. The child, now 2 years old, has been off medication for about a year and shows no sign of infection. http://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/25061.aspx 1 Like |

Good develpment there! I just believe that, one day, a cure will be found for thjs dreadful disease and therefre d carriers shouldnt lose hope, there is no need for despair, even, keeping healthy living is one of d ways they can help themselves and we not stigmatising against them is one of d way we can help d carriers t not despair, i believe that, there is no one that cant fall victim for this disease, therefore, we shouldnt see ourselves as being better than them. Meanwhile, as we hopefully await d cure for this disease, i want to encourage d carriers of this disease to keep their hope alive, take their drugs at d right time, take healthy foods regularly with fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water regularly, do things that makes you happy, never involve in self pity or self condemnation and be hopeful that being HIV+ is no longer death warant and that one can still live longer than one even expected to live , and for d non-carriers, lets stop stigmatising, we can help save lives if we truly show love to them. May God help us all. 14 Likes |

Time to invest in Hiv/Aids treatment Naija style. . . Get the bees in a locked room and put the Hiv patient inside,the result will be amazing in as much as the bees sting the victim. Goodluck ! |

Dolemite: hAha science 1 god 0, science always prevails where god fails miserably... You are crazy. Who supplied the raw materials that the scientists used? Who gave the scientists the intellectual power to do things? Must you see God in the hospitals administering HIV treatments in the hospitals before you can feel his power? 22 Likes |
