The Use of Free Radicals in Cancer Therapy
Free radicals are a chemical species characterized by unpaired electrons. Since free radicals are very unstable and highly reactive, they are very damaging to cellular structures. Researchers are using these very characteristics of free radicals as weapons against cancer.

Oxidative Stress and the Neuropathies
NAC - N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is effective in the treatment of HIV and the related symptoms that stem from this disease. It is also possible that due to the many similarities of most aspects of HIV and the Neuropathies - that there is common ground here and that the solution to one may be also the solution to the other. Thus - an introduction to the presence of and the current research involving NAC.

MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
In my previous articles I have told you about the ways they think life will be extended in the near future. They deal with the replacement of cells, organs or disease-related genes. However, those are solutions to the consequences of accidents, diseases and aging. Now I want to tell you about a series of experimental results that strongly indicates that the fountain of youth lies in a set of genes that regulate how we age. Thus, life could be extended if and when the molecular doctors learn how to modulate the action of those genes.

MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
If you have read my previous six articles you know about all the scientific efforts that are being done that could lead to the expansion of the human life span. However, all of those are related to high biotech developments: Gene therapy, xenotransplantation, stem cells, artificial organs, human cloning and gene discoveries. Now, what would you say if life span could be increased 40% just by dieting? Wouldn’t it be ironic to spend all those zillions of dollars to find out that by saving them, that is, eating less you could get to be more than 150 years old?
