AIDS VIRUS USED TO CURE CANCER
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia managed to stop the effects of leukemia in a patient six years by applying an experimental therapy based on the HIVvirus genetically altered to fight cancer cells.
Emma Whitehead suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a disease in which B cells, which are part of the immune system, drive crazy, turninginto a tumor.
The desperation of parents to a hopeless end, led the doctors to proposing a treatment of last resort.
It was inoculate HIV virus genetically modified to attacked selectivelycancer cells.
The first hours of treatment were critical to the patient, who was near death with severe tremors and uncontrolled fever. It's what oncologists (doctors who specialize in tumors) calledshake and bake, and it's what almost killed Emma. As a result, it can flood the lungs and cause dangerous drops pressure. after 11 hours sick, the doctors found a way to stop the fever and thedanger of collapse. Blood levels of interleukin-6, a glycoprotein, were fired, but the doctor who led the medical team, Carl June, came up with the solution: administered the same drug he used hisdaughter to treat her rheumatoid arthritis. After a week of convalescence, Emma completely recovered consciousness.
I believe that this type of treatment should take even moreexperimentation, not little girls like Emma's case. I believe that this type of treatment should take even more experimentation, not on little girls like Emma's case. is a miracle and a good scientificadvance that she can continue with her life, but I think we need a little more so xperimentacion to be certain that why the AIDS virus cure cancer and could go wrong on this. however I think it is abig step for the cure of cancer. with this many lives that are affected by this disease could be cured. so I support these studies but in a sixty percent
