Medicine does not stand still, scientists every day develop new drugs to combat such a serious disease as cancer. Not so long ago, it was very difficult for people who fell into the clutches of such a disease to recover, unfortunately, there were very few chances for recovery. At present, everything has changed, drugs are being developed that can not only alleviate the disease, but also stop the division of cancer cells.

Scientists from America have been conducting scientific work for a long time and have come to the conclusion that drugs containing human intestinal bacteria can be used to combat cancer.

The human body has a diverse microbial environment, each type of microbe is responsible for a certain organ and its functioning in the body, helping it to work properly. After studying bacteria, scientists came to the conclusion that they are able to positively influence the vital drugs invented. Doctors from several countries, having united, examined human bacteria, which were divided by type. With the help of different types, it is possible to determine human preferences, find out the weight category. It has been proven that the human body contains much more bacteria than its own cells. A huge number of microorganisms allows people to distinguish products by taste, they are the ones who help us feel hunger, thirst. There are so many of them, and they are able to dictate our desires to us. If you want a sweet cake or something spicy, sour, they tell us, and we unquestioningly comply.

Here's an example: let's say a person decided to quit such a bad habit as smoking, often he begins to gain weight after stopping smoking, and his appetite is more pronounced. It's all about the microorganisms that send a signal to the brain, and it sends us a signal in the form of hunger. This is a direct action of microorganisms.

At the moment, doctors from the United States are developing a project aimed at creating a drug that will combine intestinal microorganisms with drugs. Perhaps this drug will be one of the main ones for people who have almost lost hope. In the near future, laboratories will test the miracle drug.

The experiment has already been conducted on animals, the result was successful.

It can be added that if this medicine passes the tests and does not negatively affect health, many cancers will be cured. The chance for a full life will increase several times, and the life expectancy of such patients may become longer.

Another discovery: intestinal bacteria can be inherited. So, in theory, such interaction of genes and bacteria will have a positive effect on people's health. Treatment of severe, hereditary diseases will be more effective. People's health depends on the balance of intestinal bacteria. Intestinal imbalance leads to the most terrible diseases, cancer, diabetes, heart attack, stroke. Doctors have noted that the formation of beneficial bacteria depends on a person's lifestyle and bad habits.

Every person should not forget about their health. Strengthen your body with physical exercises, eat right, give up bad habits. Then the fight against such serious diseases as cancer will be much easier. The action of beneficial intestinal microorganisms will be more effective, and recovery will come much earlier. The body will be healthy, life will sparkle with bright colors and the mood will be great.
