A Cure for Radiation Sickness?

YNet has posted news that a cure for radiation sickness has been found by Jewish-American scientists and one from Israel. The research was funded by Israelis.

"The ground-breaking medication, developed by Professor Andrei Gudkov – Chief Scientific Officer at Cleveland BioLabs - may have far-reaching implications on the balance of power in the world, as states capable of providing their citizens with protection against radiation will enjoy a significant strategic advantage vis-à-vis their rivals."

It will also have other very valuable uses:

"Gudkov's discovery may also have immense implications for cancer patients by enabling doctors to better protect patients against radiation. Should the new medication enable cancer patients to be treated with more powerful radiation, our ability to fight the disease could greatly improve. "

This drug, if it works and passes the tests, will have profound implications for every human being living in this nuclear age.

The potential use in fighting cancer is mind boggling.

They hope to have it through the FDA in a couple of years. We will see.

Go read the whole story.

And a hat tip to Roger L. Simon.
