holy poop - just finished watching this on PBS. i caught it somewhere in the middle. it talked about energy (new fuel sources) but then more interestingly it talked about a new treatment for cancer. IT 101.
super cool - basically it's about a bio-chem guy whose wife had breast cancer. during her chemo therapy she told her husband that there has to be a better way. as the side effects of the chemo therapy was horrible. he quietly went to the hospitals library to read up about cancer and how cancer drugs work. then he set out to create a new treatment.
it took him ten years to produce this new treatment called IT 101 and this episode shows the first human trial of it. very interesting. the image shown is the image of the first human trial.
if you just want the end result and not watch the full episode here it is. 6 months, 18 infusions of the drug. cancer stopped growing. areas of cancer shown improvement. update on first patent (note at the beginning of the treatment he was given 3 month to 1 year to live) - his still stable, his quality of life is vastly improved (no side effects) and the cancer is still stable. (not growing). and they are still continuing trails of the drug. if all goes well they predict the drug will be available to the public in 3 - 7 years.

so this is for all the dental peeps - is this true? or full of bull caca? just saw this story this morning bout a UCLA scientist who basically went through all the various herbs and came up with something that fights bacteria that causes cavities. he has now put this compound into a lollipop. because the active ingredient is 'natural' he doesn't have to get approval from the FDA.
would really like some dental feedback on this story - cause if it actually works i'm gonna buy a pack.

i'm starting to see white hairs - so i wondered what causes them.
Quoted: The reason why your hair is going gray could be any amount of reasons. The hair fibers appear gray because they are lacking in pigment. Basically what has happened is that the hair follicle responsible for that hair fiber is no longer capable of coloring the hair that it secretes.
