&quot;Bacteria that can cause serious heart disease in humans are being spread by rat fleas, sparking concern that the infections could become a bigger problem in humans. Research published in the December issue of the Journal of Medical Microbiology suggests that brown rats, the biggest and most common rats in Europe, may now be carrying the bacteria. Since the early 1990s, more than 20 species of Bartonella bacteria have been discovered. They are considered to be emerging zoonotic pathogens, because they can cause serious illness in humans worldwide from heart disease to infection of the spleen and nervous system&quot;.

            <title>The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide</title>
            <link>http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-18534.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><h6>Quote:</h6>Cancer has an affinity to vitamin C because a vitamin C molecule is very close to a glucose molecule, and we all should know that cancer has an affinity to glucose.
<br />

<br />
Linus Pauling, two time Nobel Lauriat, theorized that if we could get enough vitamin C into the blood, that the peroxidization (vitamin C is metabolized into Hydrogen Peroxide) would be great enough to kill cancer cells.</blockquote>
<br />

<br />

<br />
<blockquote><h6>Quote:</h6><em>Vitamin C does not kill cancer directly. Its a very intricate and interesting process which I will try to explain. First we must discuss apoptosis.
<br />

<br />
Apoptosis in normal cells is a form of cell death (programmed cell death). When a cells DNA is damages, the cell will commit suicide in an attempt to keep the damage from reproducing and creating a cancer cell. Your immune system is constantly working to keep you healthy and by  cleaning up and getting rid of cancerous cells. However, before your immune system even has a chance to kick in (because a cell with damaged DNA can become cancer) apoptosis occurs. This is an automatic process, one we might say occurs at the lowest level of our immune system.
<br />

<br />
This lowest level could be equated to a computer program that is built into your computer, or the BIOS or an EPROM (a chip with a program hard coded into it). Cells are programmed to replace themselves when the DNA becomes damaged. The program is found in the gene p53, the tumor-suppressing gene. Before rapid, uncontrolled replication can occur (cancer does this), the p53 gene instructs the cell to undergo programmed cell death, called apoptosis.
<br />

<br />
In a cancer cell weve got a bad program. The damage mutates the p53 gene, which now tells the cells to have at it and they continue to multiply even though the DNA is damaged. The whole system gets out of whack, because everything that is supposed to keep this from happening has mutated, including the genes that would normally turn this off. At this time only your immune system can save you.
<br />

<br />
Your immune system is only as good as your diet and lifestyle. All of us have cancer cells in our bodies. Every study ever done on corpses turns up cancer cells: millions and millions of cancer cells. A healthy immune system will keep these cells from growing out of control and becoming a clinically recognizable cancer.
<br />

<br />
Back to apoptosis: apoptosis in a cancer cell is not cancer death. Apoptosis in cancer cells makes the cancer visible to the immune system because, lets face it, the immune system cannot kill something it cannot see. Apoptosis causes the inside of the cell to flip up and become the outside of the cell. Suddenly, phosphatidylserene, which is supposed to be on the inside of the cell, is found on the outside and this triggers the immune system. Phosphatidylserene is found on the outside of cancer cells, viruses, and old blood cells that need replacing.
<br />

<br />
With this in mind, now I can show you how vitamin C helps to battle cancer.</em></blockquote>]]></description>
