Cancer cured by modified HIV. - Polidicks

Wait, no. Wait, what? Is what? What? What types of cancer? What?

Whatever happened to that Cuban cure btw?

[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;32321938]I just had a thought. Has anyone with AIDS previously also contracted cancer, or does AIDS naturally attack cancer and they just made this variant of it to specifically target cancer?[/QUOTE] Not sure, but there is a difference between HIV and AIDS. As much as i know, having HIV increases your chance to getting tumors. The modified virus makes the T-cells attack the cancer, as much as i understood.

Fighting an inferno with a controlled burn. I like it. Did a a Californian firefighter come up with this idea?

Oh wow

Wait wait wait wait wait... So, the cure for cancer... is genetically modified [I]HIV[/I]. And the cure for HIV is [I]bio-luminescence[/I]. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzJY96m3lkg[/media]

[QUOTE=JgcxCub;32321524]Hey Lankist Im'ma let you finish but while I am Legend isn't the best film ever Will Smith did an awesome job so I suggest [I]you[/I] suppress your urge for sweeping statements.[/QUOTE] I Am Legend was horrible, wild wild west was 100x better back on topic: how do they remove the modified HIV afterwards?

[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;32321290]And soon this will be forgotten and never seen again.[/QUOTE] Like we all.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32322240]I Am Legend was horrible, wild wild west was 100x better back on topic: how do they remove the modified HIV afterwards?[/QUOTE] Depending on [i]how[/i] modified the virus is, they may not need to remove it.

So will HIV be cured by a modified Cancer now?

thanks a lot science you prick

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32322240]I Am Legend was horrible, wild wild west was 100x better back on topic: how do they remove the modified HIV afterwards?[/QUOTE] Maybe inject a virus which kills the modified T-cells? Oh wait...

Nice.

Wish this came out before my great aunt passed

There seems to be a lot of cancer-curing related news lately, I hope at least one of them won't just randomly never be heard of again.

So modified HIV cures cancer. Does it still give you AIDS?

What the hell is with all the "OH WE'RE CLOSE TO CURING CANCER BY DOING X" threads these days? That weird bio-engineered microscopic spider thing and now this?

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;32321273]Take an evil, turn it against another evil.[/QUOTE] So two wrongs does make a right.

do they glow like the cats too? just wondering

This happens every month, and never means anything.

So the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

So, the first few human trials were successful? This is great, research of the treatment of leukemia with lentiviral chimeras has been researched since the early eighties. Glad to see they had a breakthrough. [editline]00[/editline] Yeah, they're going to have common variable immunodeficiency for the rest of their lives, but it certainly beats lukemia.

[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;32321290]And soon this will be forgotten and never seen again.[/QUOTE] honestly I can't imagine why so many people agree with you. medical breakthroughs don't just happen in the scientific community and suddenly they are generally accepted treatments for all patients. medical treatments undergo decades of development before they're considered safe for everyone, the only difference now is that the media is able to report the small strives in development, which leads to people like you saying "OH WE'LL NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN" the hpv vaccine was developed by researchers at georgetown in the 1980s, it was only approved by the fda in 2006 in 1922, insulin from animals was shown to help diabetes patients. thirty years later, researchers were able to create a synthetic insulin that matched human insulin. it took another thirty years of testing and research to finally make synthetic insulin available for the general populace. in 1981, hiv/aids cases flared up in newyork and cali, and a lot of people died. it took researchers six years to develop the earliest treatment for hiv/aids, and all it did was delay the progression of the disease. science takes time people, please try to understand that. just because you aren't able to stand in the laboratories and watch the development first hand doesn't mean all of the work is somehow going to be dissolved by some giant evil pharmaceutical corporation.

Soon we will see balls with arms and legs with texts of every serious desase.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;32322123]Whatever happened to that Cuban cure btw?[/QUOTE] It was for lung cancer, and it IIRC it wasn't really a cure.

So like.... HIV pills? A dose of HIV a day can keep the cancer away? Can cancer patients take the HIV doses the old fashioned way?
