Cancer medicine from breast milk

A unique newly developed cancer treatment and prevention drug in Siberia. Experts from the Institute of Biochemistry and Basic Medicine of the Russian Academy of Sciences have prepared this drug based on the composition of breast milk. Preclinical testing has shown that new drugs are highly effective against cancer.

Regarding the effect of breast milk on neonatal health, no one can suspect. According to Siberian scientists, that is not the only advantage of breast milk. Breast milk is also capable of treating serious illnesses such as cancer. Breastmilk contains many biological active ingredients, including peptides that not only provide nutrition for children, but also maintain the health of the mother. Talking to the radio correspondent "Voice of Ng a country ", scientific collaborator of the Institute of Biochemistry and Basic Medicine of the Russian Academy of Sciences Elena Kuligina said:

'When stopping breastfeeding, the mammary gland begins the contraction process. To make this process harmless to a mother's health, part of the milk-producing cell must be removed from the body without causing any harm. The mechanism by which this is produced is called apoptosis . Under that program, the body begins the process of self-eliminating unnecessary cells. The impact of the new drug is based on this principle - increasing the ability of the program to make unnecessary cells in the body die. "

Of course, to remove the tumor no one gave the patient breast milk as an infant. Based on one of the milk proteins, kappa-casein , scientists have developed a drug that can kill cancer cells. Expert Elena Kuligina explains:

'The product has been successfully tested on animals. Siberian scientists have used normal mice and specially nourished mice for this purpose. It was Sneed mice, without an immune system. Normal mice do not have human tumors, only 'cancer of mice', so it is not possible to vaccinate something of people. According to experts, the experimental drugs are effective for both rodents. New drugs work to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Now comes the clinical trial phase. '

Experts at the Institute of Biological Chemistry believe that their invention can make patients cured many types of cancer and become a reliable anti-malignant drug. In addition, this drug is not toxic and can replace current chemotherapy.
