Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / July 2006Snake Venom as Cancer Treatment?
Has anyone read-up on this? Thanks. Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions PS I'll try to read about it, once the weather here gets cooler. It's about 105 F every day. Whew! Seems too good to be true, the whole US is having a bad heat wave....I feel your heat! > Has anyone read-up on this? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > PS I'll try to read about it, once the weather here gets cooler.

Hi alex, Still hot as heck here. ============================ "Snake Venom as Cancer Treatment" --------------------- Copperhead Snake keywords: copperhead cancer integrins Contortrostatin [CN] anti-angiogenic protein therapy, antiangiogenic ----------------------------- Cottonmouth, Water Moccasin Snake keywords: ? [Can't remember which ones I used to get info. Sorry.] Some research being done in Texas. Cottonmouth venom as cancer treatment. ------------------------------- Pit Vipers in East Texas: Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Rattlesnake. ------------------------------ Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions PS I went to the library today for a few minutes, & looked at two snake books, to get a bit more info & insight. ------------- There's also a hognose snake here ("hissing adder"?, plays dead) that might be a pit-viper, but maybe not as poisonous as the other three. ??? -------------- I think that Komen Foundation & also Johns Hopkins(?) might be interested in Copperhead treatments for cancer. --------------- Too hot! Death Adder in Australia On TV just now, CBS 19 in Tyler, Exploration with Richard Wiese, .... they spoke of a cancer cure that someone was trying to develop, using Australian death adder venom. They didn't give the details though, or mention the name of research facility. I couldn't find anything about it (death adder venom cancer treatment), on a Google search. The scientific name for death adder is Acanthophis Antarcticus. And there was some mention (on Google searches), of Acanthoxin A1, a PLA2 enzyme. ??? Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions |
