Chemical in Bee Venom Kills HIV

[longknife]

Scientists have recently found that a key ingredient in bee venom destroys HIV without harming other cells. The researchers loaded the toxin, called mellitin, onto nanoparticles fashioned with “bumpers” that normal, larger cells bounced off of unharmed. HIV is small enough that it fits between the bumpers and makes contact with the surface of the nanoparticles, where the bee toxin awaits. Melittin on the nanoparticle fuses with the viral envelope and ruptures it, stripping the virus's shell.

If this is true and works what an amazing discovery for the infected!

Good...

We need more cures for diseases. I hope cancer is next.

This is good news, though I know conventional medicine (as often) will seek to discredit the finding, since they cannot profit immensely from the finding. Wish however that all good people will invest and cultivate this natural cure for AIDS.

The problem with cancer is that it's many diseases, not one. That's why there's been success with some and not very much with others.
