Researchers in Australia and U.S. have joined forces for a stem cell developmental attack to aid Alzheimer's and Parkinson sufferers.
$29 million dollars has been invested in a project involving the Victorian Government and Californian Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), that will establish strategic projects on stem cell research aimed at accelerating treatments of disease.
Five development research organisations receiving this funding are: -
* Australian Stem Cell Center, Melbourne, Australia
* University of California, Irving, Ca.
* Florey Neuroscience Institute, Melbourne, Australia
* Burnham Institute of Medical Research, La Jolla, Ca
* Scipps Research Institute La Jolla, Ca
Robert Klein, CIRM chair, together with Prof.Trounson, formerly of Stem Cell Laboratories, Monash University, said the collaboration of Australian and Californian researchers marks a historic milestone in stem cell research in globilising the battle against disease. Robert Klein continued "medical research missions must be global to capture the best minds of every nation to fight chronic disease that have plagued mankind throughout history".

Cancer is NOT a disease - it's a survival mechanism. By Andreas Moritz
Cancer! There have been many publications written about this word, the disease and fear it creates. Cancer has a longevity as far back as 5000BC. Paelientologists and researchers have unearth signs of the disease by discovering jaw and breast bones with remnent tumors attached.
Laboratory tests have found latent genes that show a form of DNA, but no cause of what may have created the tumor.
Manuscripts published between 16th and 19th century all seem to indicate human adaption to the developing industrial change evolved throughout this time period.Yet this author fails to even consult past history.
Andreas Moritz claims "cancer is merely an indication that something is missing in our body and in our life. True healing requires you to stop fighting, for fighting is what actually prevents true cure".
There would be many who would like to think they have experienced "true healing" with some of the success stories told by many today.
Moritz asks the question "if the body is designed to live and not to destroy itself, why then would it suddenly allow the growth of extra cell tissue and kill itself?" Moritz also feels the methods of modern medicine don't fight disease, they fight the body. Disease, he continues, is the body's way of healing itself and modern treatment is a sure way to impair or even destroy this ability. Where has Andreas Moritz been all this time ?
Cancer is a word given incredible power. The word "Cancer" claims Moritz, has the potential to play a very disturbing and precarious role in life, one that is capable of delivering a death sentence. Within a brief moment, the word "Cancer" can turn someone's entire world upside down,
The reality we all know, is that cancer does create a fear. As Prof.Mel Greave describes in his book "Cancer, the evolutionary legend", pain, shame, and a rotten dash of anger make a rotten cocktail. Greave has commented that erroneous perceptions of existence of a cause and the possibility of a cure have fueled unrealistic expectations.
"The painful reality is that there is no holy grail. no magic cure-all bullet, and no quick fix" says Prof. Greave.
In his book "Cancer is NOT a disease - it's a suvival mechanism", author Andreas Moritz, a medical intuitive, practitioner of Ayurveda, Iridology, Shaitsu and Vibrational medicine, has tried to show another view of why we humans attract cancer. Andreas points out other factors he feels are overlooked, and that present medical treatments may not be performing as they are claimed.
Great debate could be applied here, with the present day direction coming out on top. I feel Andreas Moritz may disagree. Book available via healthbooksummaries.com Geoff.

Adult Brain Cancer; South Australian Brain Tumor support Group
Adult Brain Cancer was initiated in September 2006, following advertised expressions of interested South Australians by Cancer Council Sth. Australia, to form a local support group for cancer patients, their families, carers, and health professionals.
CCSA identified there was an urgent need to fill a gap in relation to support and information available for patients, families and caerers.A steering committee was formed, meeting regularly to discuss planning of meetings and events,with finally becoming incorporated, with its first AGM in August 2008 with election of a committee of 8.
Adult Brain Cancer has now established contact with other Cancer amd Brain Tumor support Groups in other States, and including International Brain Tumor Alliance "Brain Tumor Week" festivities, held each year in first week of November.
Coffee mornings are held last Saturday of month at Adelaide's Southwest Community Centre, 171 Sturt St. 10am to 12noon, as well as organising information sessions 2-3 times per year. Funds for the Group are raised through a credit union community lottery along with other fundraising actities.
The goal of ABCsa is to be a resource for patients, families, carers and health professionals, providing information regarding brain tumors, community resources, telephone support and opportunities for socialising and meeting with other brain cancer patients, families and carer givers.
