Experiments have shown that the introduction of protein BPI into the body in 80% of cases saves lives.
Researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston have developed a new method to combat the effects of high and even fatal levels of radiation exposure. They are hooked up to this fight a protein called BPI (bactericidal / permeability-increasing protein), involved in immune response against gut harmful bacteria.
Assuming the existence of the healing properties of this protein, the researchers first decided to check what happens in the body after exposure. They examined 48 patients who received high doses of radiation resulted in damage to the bone marrow and found that the level of BPI protein in the blood of those patients fell an average in 71 times, and in some of patients, this protein was generally not found.

French neurosurgeons were able to commit a breakthrough in the field of cancer treatment. According to the specialist magazine "Neurosurgery", a group of doctors led by Professor Alexander Carpentier developed a methodology for the destruction of cancer cells in the human brain using laser technology.
