The Dangers of Fluoride

           The inorganic anion fluoride is used in many aspects of modern life. From dental health products and services to being added to the water supply, many of us are getting rather large doses in order to maintain dental “health”. But fluoride is not an essential vitamin. Until recently much of the human population had not even been exposed to this dangerous anion. One study shows how dramatic overexposure to fluoride can have rather immediate affects such as vomiting cramping, nausea, and even death.

Many scientists are now coming out stating that fluoride is known to be a neurotoxin. It can affect neural development and has been linked to a variety of cancers. This is a very important problem in today’s world as people regularly visit the dentist for fluoride treatments, not to mention the toothpaste they use everyday also contains the harmful substance. More frightening however, is how much fluoride is added to the public water supply. It seems people don’t really get a say in the matter anymore, and it is critically important that people become aware of how their local governments are poisoning them.

Rapamycin is as of now in like manner use all through the therapeutic world as an immunosuppressant - halting the capacity of the invulnerable framework. In that capacity it is usually recommended to patients experiencing kidney transplants to forestall dismissal of the new organs. It is additionally routinely utilized for disease medications, and also to coat coronary stents. Rapamycin has additionally created sharp consideration because of investigations that indicated broadened life expectancy in mouse cells.

The OIST team has uncovered a new side to rapamycin, paving the way to new medical therapies for genetic diseases. Rapamycin represses cell development and division - known as multiplication - by controlling the capacity of TOR Kinase, a primary flagging compound that passes on data to the cell about nourishing conditions around it. The group theorized that if rapamycin could reestablish ordinary expansion in cells with transformed DNA, it was conceivable that the influenced qualities saved in people in charge of hereditary infections could possibly be dealt with by rapamycin.




The group contrived an investigation utilizing splitting yeast cells, every one of which had a particular transformation in their DNA that made cell division absconds when presented to raised temperatures of 36°C. Testing a library of 1014 mutant strains of yeast. 45 of the mutants were "safeguarded" by rapamycin expansion and started to isolate regularly by and by.

Examining the hereditary cosmetics of the saved yeast cells, the lab group recognized 12 distinct qualities that were in charge of the temperature-activated deformities. With the source distinguished, the group now knew where to search for the solution to rapamycin's therapeutic properties.
