The true cure for HIV,CANCER,etc,,,,!

HIV, cancer: Bee venom to the
rescue
Scientists have discovered that
apart from pollinating crops,
producing honey, beeswax ,
propolis, pollen and royal jelly,
bees could also be the solution
to the deadly Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
and cancer. Recently, a team of scientists at
the Washington University
School of Medicine, USA, used
nanoparticles carrying a toxin
found in bee venom to destroy
HIV without harming nearby cells. The report was contained in the
current issue of Antiviral
Therapy. Explaining the modus operandi,
Dr. Samuel A. Wickline, one of
the researchers said; “Bee
venom contains a potent toxin
called melittin that can poke
holes in the protective envelope that surrounds HIV and other
viruses. It has even shown
melittin-loaded nanoparticles to
be effective in killing tumor
cells.” In an interview with Vanguard
in Ibadan recently, Mr. Ayodele
Salako, an apiculturist
(beekeeper), corroborated the
assertion of the researchers.
“The bee sting is very medicinal. A bee keeper who is stung by a
bee every now and then, will
not complain of any ailment
because the bees have taken
those things away from you by
enhancing your immunity. That is one of the best works of bee
venom.” He demonstrated this by
administering bee venom
therapy on some people with
pains in various parts of the
body like the waist, hands and
knees. All recipients said the pains stopped after a few
minutes. Comparing the bee venom and
other anti-HIV drugs, Joshua L.
Hood, another researcher said
“most anti-HIV drugs inhibit the
virus’s ability to replicate. But
this anti-replication strategy does nothing to stop initial
infection, and some strains of
the virus have found ways
around these drugs and
reproduce anyway. The bee
venom toxin is different because it attacks an essential
part of the virus’ structure. The
melittin forms little pore-like
attack complexes and ruptures
the envelope, stripping it off the
virus. “We are attacking an inherent
physical property of HIV,” said
Hood, “and there isn’t any way
for the virus to adapt to that.
The virus has to have a
protective coat, a double- layered membrane that covers
it,” so if the covering is
destroyed, the virus is
destroyed. “Because the bee venom toxin
has been engineered not to
attack healthy cells, a vaginal gel
loaded with bee venom
particles, could be ideal for
couples where one partner has HIV and they want to have a
baby,” the report said, adding;
“It’s also theoretically possible
that intravenous injections of
the nanoparticles would be able
to clear HIV from the blood stream, a virtual miracle for
those who have tested
positive.”
