In a subject that's near & dear to my heart, the US National Cancer Institute has decided to fund human clinical trials to test the retrovirus and it's impacts on cancer. Apparently this naturally occuring virus has the ability to infect and kill cancer cells with no side effects to healthy cells.

Other 3rd party studies have apparently shown the retrovirus to be effective in 2/3rds of all cancers - and in one documented instance, eliminated a cancerous neck tumor that was unaffected by traditional treatments - with a single dose injected to the site of the tumor. This is very encouraging news in the fight against cancer.
