Sounds like some decent news.

Who’d a thunk it? Telling the body’s own immune cells to do their job might actually work….

“A paper on the ALL research is currently under review and pending publication.”

And that should not be reported upon until it is actually published. It would seem it hasn’t passed the peer review yet.

I still think it’s a promising idea though.

Still better news than last time someone tried to activate T cells against cancer

Interesting.

A retired pathologist of my acquaintance believes pretty much all ills and ails can be traced back to an inflammatory reaction of some sort. It’s a bit chicken and egg though, which causes which.

Nurofen for everyone.

Oddly enough, I’m actually experimenting with one a day at the moment. In the morning, with breakfast. It does seem to help with the after mowing for a couple of hours, or kneeling down scrubbing the floor etc aches. Better than waiting for the aches and then waiting for them to go away after taking a tablet. I am not a big pill taker, so they do actually work quite well when I do. I tried with aspirin, but I think ibuprofen is better.

Whoops. Interesting that the animals hadn’t suffered any similar reaction at that dosage.
