How would you like to know what is going on in you body?

Are you healthy? How do you know? Is your lifestyle doing anything for you?

Researchers atrepparttar Huntsman Cancer Institute have developedrepparttar 147926 Biophotonic Scanner. Initially developed to look at eye health, this remarkable machine was developed to look at carotenoids in human tissue. This is a new, cutting-edge testing device that safely and easily measures a carotenoid antioxidant biomarker that provides immediate evidence of antioxidant activity.

What are Carotenoids?

Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that are found in abundance in certain fruits and vegetables. They are absorbed in human plasma and tissue and provide an excellent indicator of a person's antioxidant health status.

By simply placingrepparttar 147927 palm ofrepparttar 147928 hand in front of a low-energy blue light laser, you can obtain an immediate reading of your own antioxidant activity— your Skin Carotenoid Score.

Backed by over 30,000 papers in 30 years of research

This has been subject to clinical trials comparing to blood tests, with a greater degree of accuracy

Gene Therapy for Mesothelioma

Gene Therapy for Mesothelioma

An exciting new treatment that has given hope to mesothelioma victims is called gene therapy. Gene therapy attempts to decipher why proteins within certain cells cause them to be resilient to cancer while some cells do not. A while back it was believed that genes were complete upon birth, and that they couldn’t affect conditions afflicted during life. This however, turned out to not berepparttar case. Since then we have learned that smoking, sunlight and certain foods can all affect our DNA and make changes to our genetic code. These new insights provided by these conditions have allowed doctors to view many conditions like malignant mesothelioma in a new light.

There are many factors that contribute to Mesothelioma. Asbestos exposure isrepparttar 147925 primary contributing factor, but genetic mutations in individuals also worsen it. Gene therapy is a revolution in mesothelioma treatment because it replaces cancer-causing genes with genes that are medically constructed to die when exposed to cancerous growth. These ‘suicide genes’ are a possible way to slow and possibly stoprepparttar 147926 rapid replication of cancerous cells. Studies are also starting to begin experimenting with replacing cancer generating genes with genes susceptible to certain drugs. This would allowrepparttar 147927 cancer to be potentially eliminated with few side effects.
