A Natural Cure for Cancer a substance in breast milk kills cancer cells

A natural cure for cancer has been found by Swedish researchers in at the University of Gothenburg and Lund University. The substance found in breast milk binds and kills cancer cells. The tumor-lethal substance, dubbed HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells), was discovered in breast milk a few years ago, but human testing was only recently authorized. In initial tests, patients with bladder cancer were treated with the substance. After each treatment, researchers found dead cancer cells in their urine. This raised hope it could be developed into an effective cancer medication. Researchers discovered HAMLET when they were studying breast milk's antibacterial action. Further investigation showed HAMLET is composed of a protein and a fatty acid found naturally in breast milk. So far, however, it has not been shown whether the HAMLET complex forms spontaneously in milk. It seems, however, that the two components of HAMLET join together in the acid juices of babies' stomachs.
Incredibly, additional tests have demonstrated that HAMLET kills 40 different types of cancer, and the investigators are going on to study its effect on skin cancer, tumors in the mucous membranes and brain tumors. An additional amazing finding is that HAMLET has no effect on healthy cells — It kills only the cancer cells.
Researchers at Gothenburg University, Roger Karlsson, Ingela Lanekoff and Maja Puchades, are now focusing on how HAMLET is taken up into the tumor cells. In particular, they are trying to understand how it interacts with plasma membranes of cancer cells.
