A Common Infection May Cause Cancer


A new study suggests that Clostridioides difficile is responsible for certain colorectal cancers.

According to data gathered by scientists at the Bloomberg Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, the bacterial species Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, which is well known for causing serious diarrheal infections, may also cause colorectal cancer.

The research, which was recently published in the journal Cancer Discovery, may reveal another problematic role for this microbe, which causes over 500,000 infections annually in the United States, many of which are very challenging to treat.

“The uptick of individuals under age 50 being diagnosed with colorectal cancer in recent years has been shocking. 

We found that this bacterium appears to be a very unexpected contributor to colon malignancy, the process by which normal cells become cancer,” says Cynthia Sears, M.D., Bloomberg~Kimmel Professor of Cancer Immunotherapy and professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Researchers in the Sears Lab reported several years ago that more than half of colorectal cancer patients had bacterial biofilms — dense colonies of bacteria on the colon surface — while only 10% to 15% of healthy people without tumors had biofilms. 

However, one sample stood out to the researchers when they infected mice with biofilm samples originating from specific colorectal cancer patients because it significantly raised colorectal tumors in the mice. This slurry caused tumors in 85% of the mice, while in most controls, tumor development is less than 5%.  READ MORE...

WHO Owns Our Future?

'Black Panther' star Chadwick Boseman 
dead of cancer at 43
Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, his family said in a statement...


Instead of mourning the loss of this AMERICAN, Americans are bitterly fighting each other in a vicious struggle to determine the direction of this country for the next four years.

...Biden versus Trump...

Actually, it is not as simple as that because it is really not about our President but about the direction in which each POLITICAL PARTY is moving.  That is to say LIBERAL versus CONSERVATIVE where the liberals have redefined themselves as Progressives and in some cases Socialists.

SOCIALISM has failed miserably in several countries but it has also been relatively workable in other countries.  However, the drawback is the fact that Socialism can only serve one master...  the people as master or the economy as master...

The United States of America already has incorporated socialism in its policies and programs to some degree of which we speak very little.
Socialism Present in America
  • Unemployment
  • Public Education
  • Public Transportation
  • Public Parks
  • Public Restrooms
  • Social Security
  • Medicare
  • ANYTHING PUBLIC
So, the division in America, currently being viewed on media networks, some of which is not being portrayed accurately, is about:

THE PEOPLE versus THE ECONOMY

Currently, our Free Market Enterprise System or Capitalism, is PAYING FOR our Socialistic Programs listed above...

AND, you, the general public must decide do you want our government to focus on giving more to the people which in turn will not help the economy or giving more to the economy which in turn will help the help..

BUT...  this is only part of the story...  we also have to deal with the rest of the world...

If we give more to the people, we may not have the financial resources to help our ALLIES against the aggression of COMMUNISM and DICTATORSHIPS that want to destroy America...

What about:
  1. China
  2. Russia
  3. North Korea
  4. Middle East
  5. Terrorism
  6. Trade Deals
  7. NATO
  8. Nuclear Weapons
  9. Space Exploration
  10. Stolen Technology
  11. Our National Debt
  12. Our Environment
  13. Global Population
  14. Global Hunger
  15. Global Poverty
  16. The US Government admitting that there are UFO's
