Just watched the Discovery Channel. It seem proteins from copperhead venom prevent cancer cells from attaching to their hosts…also prevents them from metastisizing <sp?>.
My question is…
Is this more proof for the yin and the yang?
For every bad thing in nature there is something to contraindict it?
In history they will not fill their heads with battles, nor in geography with fortresses, for it becomes them just as little to reek of
gunpowder as it does the males to reek of musk.
Reminds himself that angle brackets with sp? in between do not work here…

First: Tracer, what about Taxol? Isn’t it in fairly common use now? It’s no miracle cure, but I was under the impression it’s still being used to (successfully) fight breast cancer.
Second: Abner, is it proof for yin and yang? No. It’s not proof of anything – certainly not anything mystical.
Is it mystical that there is a positive and a negative to everythig on Earth?
I’m not a ying and yang fan, but I could see how in a fairly closed enviroment like Earth there could exist something in nature to balance out everything else.
I don’t know if this qualifies as overwhelming proof of that, I just question whether or not we are talking about anything “mystical” here.
Taxol does appear to be somewhat effective in cases where traditional chemotherapy fails, but it’s hardly the “miracle cure” the TV news shows touted it as when it first came out. My guess is the copperhead-venom-based treatments won’t be cure-alls either.
