New vaccine !

Japanese scientists discovered new vaccine for curing the cancers in Tokyo/Japan recently.This new vaccine just attacks the proteins inside the cancer cells and break them to the particles besides killer T cells attack the cancer cells from outsides too.As you concern there is a real tough battle in blood stream !.This new vaccine has no any side effects like chemotherapy and radiation which are used in cancer patients.Hope this new vaccine would come to the market as soon as possible and bring new hope for the patients.

Seaweeds



Seaweed draws an extraordinary wealth of mineral elements from the sea that can account for up to 36% of its dry mass, the mineral macro nutrients include sodium,calcium,magnesium ,potassium,chlorine,sulfur and phosphorus,the micro nutrients include iodine,iron ,zinc,copper ,selenium,molybdenum,fluoride,manganese,boron,nickel and cobalt.Seaweed has such a large proportion of iodine compared to dietary minimum requirements ,that it is primarily known as a source of this nutrient the highest iodine content is found in brown algae.Red and green algae have lower contents-daily adult requirements,currently recommended at 150 micro gram per day -Just one gram of dried brown algae provides from 500-8000 micro gram of iodine and even the green and red algae provide 100-300 micro gram in a single gram.Aside from iodine,seaweed is one of the richest plant,sources of calcium,the calcium content of seaweeds is typically about 4-7% of dry matter,at 7%calcium ,one gram of dried seaweed provides 70mg of calcium compared to a daily dietary requirement of about 1000 micro gram ,still this is higher than a serving of most non-milk based foods protein content in seaweed varies some what.It is low in brown algae at 5-11% of dry matter ,spirulina ,a micro algae is well known for its very high content ,i.e,70% of dry matter .Seaweed contains several vitamins.Red and brown algae are rich in carotenes (provitamin A ) and are used ,in fact,as a source of natural mixed carotenes for dietary supplements .The vitamin C in red and brown algae is also notable,with contents ranging from 500-3000 ppm.Other vitamins are also present ,including B12,which is not found in most land plants.Seaweed has very little fat ,ranging from 1-5% of dry matter although seaweed lipids have a higher proportion of essential fatty acids than land plants.Seaweed has a high fiber content,making up 32% to 50% of dry matter.There is soluble fiber in seaweed which are generally associated with having cholestrol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects.
Anyway as you see with such a huge nutrients it is not far from imagination that far east countries used seaweed for curing the cancers !.
