Nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in bee venom can destroy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while leaving the surrounding cells unharmed. The research was conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The Nanoparticles carry melittin, which is the principal active component of bee venom. Melittin fuses with the HIV virus and destroys it’s protective envelope while molecular bumpers prevent the nanoparticles from harming the body’s normal cells. Bee venom is known to disrupt cellular walls and destroy tumour cells as well.
Bee venom contains a potent toxin called melittin that can poke holes in the protective envelope that surrounds HIV, and other viruses. Large amounts of free melittin can cause a lot of damage. Indeed, in addition to anti-viral therapy, the paper’s senior author, Samuel A. Wickline, MD, the J. Russell Hornsby Professor of Biomedical Sciences, has shown melittin-loaded nanoparticles to be effective in killing tumor cells.
The new study shows that melittin loaded onto these nanoparticles does not harm normal cells. That’s because Hood added protective bumpers to the nanoparticle surface. When the nanoparticles come into contact with normal cells, which are much larger in size, the particles simply bounce off. HIV, on the other hand, is even smaller than the nanoparticle, so HIV fits between the bumpers and makes contact with the surface of the nanoparticle, where the bee toxin awaits. (1)
Most anti-HIV drugs inhibit the virus’s ability to replicate. This is an anti-replication strategy that does nothing to stop the infection, and many strains of the virus have found ways around these drugs and continue reproducing. Given this discovery, a new vaginal gel could possibly be used in places where HIV is prominent. It can be used as a preventative measure to stop the initial infection and prevent the spread of HIV. The bee venom HIV study was published a several days ago in the journal Antiviral Therapy.

Wonder if Vince Goodcum stocks it with his bee pollen

Holy shit vince goodum is going to become a millionaire

the schmoes can go raw now.

Wonder if Vince Goodcum stocks it with his bee pollen
See, Vince usually does things backwards. Instead of bee pollen, he should have invested in Bee Venom...

Gift givers' and bug chasers' hearts are breaking all around the world today

Someone tell Tbombz.

It's really just nano particles shaped to make contact with only the cells and virus they are supposed to kill, and then loaded with a toxin, in this case bee venom. It's not like you can run for the nearest bee hive and get your cure. And bee pollen ain't got nothing to do with it. ::)

Someone tell Tbombz.
Why?

::)
Why?

We have been down this road before. Before everyone thinks bee venom is the cure let's take a deep breath about this. There is a lot of money to be made in research grants. Regardless of what HIV cure activists pound the drum about there is a ton of money going into research compared to plenty of deadly diseases. If some little lab is yelling about bee venom they know there is a possibility of millions coming their way. Like I said we have been down this road before. I hope this horrific disease is cured.

the conspiracy theory tin-foil hat fellas I listen to on NPR at 1am driving home will say "this is the reason the honey bees are disappearing.. the gov't is killing them with chemicals in jet-fuel chem-trails"

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I've read lately that there's pretty solid evidence that overuse of pesticides are killing honey bees.

and bees population have been declining these years,someone better do something :D
-
Outstanding!
I will now force many bees to sting me in the wiener for science. After I do that, it's Thailand here I come.

The bees got infected with the virus :o

Hold me back Vissy! We's gonn' be rich!

He has HIV.
Yes, we all know that. My question still stands.

Can someone change Tbombs bunny suit into a bee suit?

There was a SNL skit with the Bad News Bees ~ absolutely hilarious. If anyone can find the vid, please post it.
Here's the transcript ~ still ROFL ;D
http://snltranscripts.jt.org/78/78gbees.phtml
Season 4: Episode 7
78g: Walter Matthau
The Bad News Bees
Kurt.....Bill Murray
Alan.....John Belushi
Raymond.....Garrett Morris
Artie.....Dan Aykroyd
Coach.....Walter Matthau
[ open on interior, team bunk cabin ]
Kurt: Boy, I'm sure glad you're pitching tomorrow - it's gonna be a rough game. Ah, no problem. By the time camp's over, once again our twam will be champs!
[ the team cheers ]
Kurt: [ whistles ] Hey, Alan - heads up!
Alan: Hey, cut it out, you guys!
Raymond: Hey, hey. What's that you're reading, Alan?
Alan: Nothing!
Kurt: Whaddaya mean, nothing?! Hey, Charlie, look at this! A Playbee magazine!
[ everyone oohs and ahhs over the contents of Alan's dirty magazine ]
Artie: Boy, I'd sure like to get into her honey sac!
Alan: Yeah, me too!
Kurt: Oh, whadda you knew about that, Alan!
Alan: As much as you do!
Kurt: Oh, yeah? I bet you never even did it!
Alan: I.. did.. too..
Kurt: Oh, yeah? Well, then tell me how you did it!
Alan: [ stung ] Okay.. so I never did it..
[ everyone laughs at Alan ]
Artie: I knew he was lying!
Kurt: I bet you never did it!
Artie: [ hesitant ] ..Sure, I did.
Raymond: With who?!
Artie: Laura Finch.
Kurt: Really?
Artie: Yeah! One day a whole swarm of us gang stang her behind the bowling alley.
[ suddenly, the Coach enters the cabin ]
Coach: What's going on in here?! Huh?!
Alan: Ah, nothing, Coach.. we're just talking.
Coach: Come on! Lights out, guys! We've got a big game tomorrow, I want you guys to get a lot of sleep, see? Come on!
[ everyone moans and groans ]
Coach: Come on! [ spies magazine ] What is this? [ grabs magazine and leafs through it ] What is this stuff? What are you guys doing with this thing, huh?! Aren't you a little young to be looking at this?
Kurt: Aren't you a little bit old!
Coach: Listen, Hansen! When you're my age, you should stick it to the queen as often as I do! Now, get some sleep!
Team: Goodnight, Coach!
Coach: Goodnight, guys.
[ Coach exits cabin ]
Artie: Boy.. too bad he took that magazine - those pictures were great!
Raymond: You're not kidding, man..
Alan: Come on, guys! The Coach is right - let's get some sleep!
[ the team agrees, and quickly got to sleep ]
[ with everyone asleep, the sound of Alan's cot squeaking can be heard ]
Kurt: Hey, Alan, would you pull your stinger somewhere else!
[ everyone humiliates Alan ]
Alan: Dammit, you guys! Dammit! I was not!
Kurt: You were, too!
Alan: I was not!
[ Coach re-enters, angrier than before ]
Coach: What's going on in here?! Huh?! What's all the racket about?! I thought I told you to go to sleep!!
Artie: We were trying to, Coach, but Alan made too much noise because he was.. buzzing off!
Team: Alan was buzzing off! Alan was buzzing off! Alan was buzzing off!!
Alan: I swear, I wasn't!
Kurt: Oh, yeah? Then why is there honey all over your sheets!
Coach: Come on, you guys.. cut it out! Come over here, Alan.. come over here..
[ Coach and Alan sit down ]
Alan: Yeah, Coach?
Coach: Nothing wrong in what you were doing, Alan. It's perfectly normal for someone your age to bend his barb once in a while. Everyone does it, there's nothing to be ashamed of. What's the matter with you, guys? Artie, can you say that you've never done it?
Artie: No..
Coach: You, Raymond?
Raymond: Well, uh.. no, Coach..
Coach: How about you, Kurt? Youve polished your bayonet, haven't you?
Kurt: [ hesitant ] ..Yeah.. once.
Coach: You see? It's a natural function - everyone does it.
Raymond: Even you, Coach?
Coach: Yes. Twice.
Team: The Coach buzzes off!!
Alan: Shut up!!
Coach: Even females do it.
Artie: [ suddenly interested ] Really?! How?!
Coach: Well.. I'm not sure, exactly, but, uh.. let me tell you a story about a ballplayer I knew, who, uh.. used to buzz off five, six, seven times a day. And his teammates, they made fun of him, they razzed him all the time. And he was ashamed, and it was affecting all aspects of his game. He had trouble throwing, fielding, hitting with power, running to the bases.. And then, one day, he just accepted the fact that he was a chronic buzz off. And once he accepted that fact, he became a great ballplayer, and he went on to hit three home runs in the last game of the 1977 World Series!
[ the team is amazed by the identity of the buzz off ]
Team: Reggie Jackson!!
Coach: Reggie Jackson. That's right, Alan, you're in good company.
[ the team quickly apologizes for making fun of Alan earlier ]
Alan: Ah, that's okay, guys..
Coach: Now, you get back to bed, guys.
Team: Goodnight, Coach!!
Coach: Goodnight!
[ Coach exits the cabin ]
[ suddenly, all the cots in the cabin begin squeaking ]

First honey and now this? Bees look to be saving the human race and we don't deserver them!
