There has been a major breakthrough in the fight against cancer,
according to Purdue University researchers, who said that they
have
cured 200 lab mice. Researchers said they have created a wonder
drug concoction of ingredients that patients already take. In
fact, according to the team of scientists, the drug has the potential
to cure one-third of all human cancers. The promising trial results
on mice are based on folate, or folic acid, a water-soluble B
vitamin, occurring
- naturally in food, that is necessary to produce and maintain
new cells. Cancer thrives on folate, which acts as food that
helps cancer cells grow. However, according to Endocyte Inc.,
the company that funded the research, using folic acid as a Trojan
horse can trick the immune system into attacking cancer cells.
