Fighting Cancer: look how far we’ve come

Read that title again, then Google “fight to cure Cancer” and see what you come up with. I think you’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised.

The facts are this: Cancer is still killing people. It is still the same disease – or worse, in many cases, as it mutates and finds new ways to invade – that it ever was. But at the same time, there is hope: some Cancer’s are becoming easier to treat, thanks to the constant unstoppable forces of science and technology. We’re a very long way from being able to eradicate Cancer and call it a distant memory, but with health services now more on the ball than ever about this, more people are surviving Cancer and that has to be a remarkable thing!

Another thing to remember is that in worldly terms we’ve not been around long, us human beings. So the fact that women who once had Cancer are now out buying a beautiful wedding ring or sunning themselves on holiday is something to rejoice about.

And we haven’t even started on the drugs. In just ten years, Cancer drugs have made miraculous leaps and bounds forwards, thanks to large cash injections which have allowed scientists to dedicate their work to this important task.This is all without even mentioning the “Race for Life” events that have been happening all over the UK for some time now. These races alone generate a massive amount of awareness about a topic which was once mysterious.

Well watch out mysterious Cancer, we’re on to you and we’re beating it!

New Oral HIV Rapid Test

I was using duplication software to back some files I had on my computer’s hard drive and surfing the web as this was being done when I stumbled upon a news release about a new scientific breakthrough. This breakthrough was the development of an oral HIV rapid test that was non invasive.

This at home oral HIV test was developed by the people over at Orawell USA and is the first of its kind. The makers have indicated that tests have shown that reliable results can be delivered within ten minutes.

Now this is great news for anyone who wants to know what their HIV status is and do not want to have to wait days or weeks to get the results of their test. This new oral HIV rapid test also eliminates the need and inconvenience of going to the clinic or doctor’s office to have the test done. No blood is drawn to do this test and you can be assured that the results will be confidential.

Many doctors have recommended and have approved the OraWell Oral HIV Rapid Test 1and 2. The results have been shown to be 99.98% accurate. It is easy for users to collect their own saliva specimen as the test comes with additions supplies for this to be done. All users have to do is to place the saliva sample unto the enclosed panel for the analysis to be done. This new test works by detecting in the saliva the antibodies to HIV-1 and 2.

A simple negative or positive response will then be shown. If the band on the panel shown pink it is a positive test, no pink band means a negative test.
