    GREAT, i heard this on the underground a while back too, but i have read lots of evidence that figs from the fig tree uncover the fatty subsatance around a cancer cell then allow your bodies immune system to recognise its there, then just immune boost. the fig enzyme will be activated at body temperature apparently. its mentioned in the bible, and aristocratic medicine books, similar to wobenzyme.. or peptin i think, but guess what all information has been eradicated on this one???

    Breast cancers cells are being treated with the popular anti-mitotic agent paclitaxel, which inhibits breast cancer cell division. So you are visualizing breast cancer cells unable to undergo mitosis (cell division) and form abnormal mitotic spindles (bright regions in rounded cells). Over time the cells continue to round up and eventually die (apoptosis). Hope this helps.

    Could explain what’s going on here?
