For 30 years we have been amazed at why children suffer from leukemia, now we have an answer

The scientist studying cancer causes, Mel Graves, explains why a cocktail of microbes can create immune systems to disease.

Mel Greaves has only one goal in his life. He's trying to produce a drink like indigestion, that would stop the development of leukemia in children.

The idea may sound even overly ambitious, the Chancers are not so easily treated. However, Professor Graves is convinced and based on his experiences, his ideas are taken very seriously in numerous studies about cancer.

Based on the Institute for Cancer Studies in London, Greas has studied leukemia in children for 30 years. This Friday he's been warned that he's been elected to a list of cancer researchers.
For 30 years I've been obsessed with why children suffer from leukemia”, he said. I have an answer to this question for the first time. And that means that now he can start thinking about how we stop. To carry out my idea of drinking”, he said.

In the 1950s, a similar leukemia had attacked 2,000 children, was deadly. Today 90% of the cases are healed, although treatment is quite toxic, and long - term side effects can be shown, as a result, that in recent decades a number of cases have now increased in Britain and Europe, and nearly 1 percent of children are affected.

This is a trait of developed societies, but not of those developing”, Greaves adds. “Disease abounds. ”

Acute lymphical leukemia is caused by certain biological developments. The original cause is a genetic mutation that occurs in about one in 20 children.

This mutation is caused by an accident in the womb. It is not inherited but leaves a child in danger of taking leukemia into later life “, Graves added.

A number of biological events must occur in order for the complete leukemia to appear and affect the immune system. For an immune system to function properly to be confronted by infections in the first year of living”, Greaves said.

Without this confrontation through an infection of the system, it remains disabled and does not function properly.
And the problem goes up. Parents in recent years are raising their children with antibacterial soaps, and antibacterial equipment. The dust is simply excluded from their lives.

As a result, there are fewer mothers feeding their children breast milk because they do not want to expose their children to body bacteria. Both cases reduce infant contact with bacitary and, however good it may sound, have side effects. This is because children are not exposed to dangers, and their bodies are not responding to protection, becoming passive.
When such a child is exposed to common infections, his immature immune system reacts in an extremely abnormal way”, says Graves. “super-reagonism and causes chronic inflammation”.

As this inflammation progresses, chemicals called cytokina are released into the blood, and these can cause a second mutation resulting in leukemia in children holding the first mutation.
“Smight needs two hits to go,” explains Graves. The second “comes from chronic inflammation initiated by an immature immune system”.

In other words, a sensitive child suffers chronic inflammation related to modern clean homes, and this inflammation changes his or her sensitivity to leukemia so that it can be transformed completely.

From this perspective, the disease has nothing to do with power lines or nuclear fuel reprocessing stations, as suggested in the past, but has been caused by a double advance and environmental event, as Greece describes in Nature Review magazine. Cancer earlier this year.

Essential issues, this new discovery offers scientists an opportunity to intervene and stop the development of leukemia in the first place, he adds.

To do this, Graves and his team have started working on bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that live in human intestines. These help us to digest our food, but they also provide a flaw that we have been to be exposed to in life. For example, people in developed countries tend to have fewer bacterial species, and that's because they're exposed to fewer kinds of microbes in the early stages of their lives.

We have to find ways to rebuild their microbiomas as we call this microbes community. We also need to find out which are the most important types of bacteria for filling the child's immunity. ”

To do that, Greaves is now experimenting with mice to find out which mete is best in stimulating immune rodent systems. The purpose would be to make the same human experiment in two or three years.

Facts on Leuchemia:

Blood cells are produced in bone marrow. Red blood cells, which carry oxygen around our body, white blood cells that fight infection and blood clots, which stop bloodshed, are created when your body needs them. But when a person develops leukemia, many white blood cells are released that forbid normal cells in the bone marrow to grow. As a result, the quantity of normal red cells, white cells and thrombocity in your blood decreases and your health suffers.

Of many species of leukemia, the most common among young people are acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. / Translated from The Guardian: Periscope
