Antibody to cancer


Many thanks to the cleaver people who have shared ideas with me!
Firstly to Prof. Fossil, who told me that cancer shares its way of division with infections. He could have gone further!
Infections gain accommodation with the host, but making pathogen leaders. Small pox made inappropriate IL-1ra, and killed a third of Europe, by blocking the cell damage signal.
Cow pox did not, and only killed 5% of people deliberately infected with it. Once you had got better from cow pox, you could not then catch any pox virus! Genner did a good job in sorting out vaccination as a result.
So all infections out there share host specific pathogen leaders. These get shared around, and can be left behind after an infection.
Whne you have the golden 6, you get cancer! Which as a group of pathogen leaders, does no cell damage.
Dr MatZinger pointed this important point out to me, so I hit the immunology text books hard here!
If it did cell damage, The immune system would activate the immune system, which would make and action the active antibody: And yes, all 200 sorts of cancers out there have antibodies, and share 6 with infectious disease.
If we give a drip of the lower immune signals, we make and action the antibiotic, and once the target cell type is found, we get a full immune action, as if cell damage had occurred!
So there are 6 common HAVs to all cancers out there. They share them with infectious disease.
If you have infectious disease you go on to get cancer, or heart disease. So we want the HAX to infective disease, to change life!
Questions?
