The Free Bullion Investment Guide is unique compared to other guides because it not only serves as a physical precious metals bullion guide but also advocates for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research.

Gold Nanoparticles in Cancer Research are designed to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissues; therefore, it does not have harmful side effects.  

Chemotherapy is a biohazard derived from mustard gas and is responsible for hair loss, rather than cancer itself. Chemotherapy should be administered in much smaller doses for the treatment of cancer. Numerous studies have indicated that attaching chemotherapy drugs to gold nanoparticles is a better way to kill cancer cells with minimal side effects compared to how chemotherapy is currently administered.

Medicine should heal, not harm an individual; we need to get out of the 20th-century ways of treating cancer and start using 21st-century methods.

Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research has repeatedly shown, in study after study, that it should be one of the 21st century's better ways of treating cancer.

In this report, you'll find summaries of the most promising and compelling studies regarding gold nanoparticle medical research.

Below is a glimpse into what you'll find in this report:

• Gold Nanoparticles and CRISPR (the DNA editing tool)

• Professor Invents New Cancer Imaging Tool using Gold Nanoparticles
  

• Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research & THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
  

• India / Russia Gold Nanoparticle Research
  

• Inexpensive, Non-Invasive Tool for the Early Cancer Detection

Gold Nanoparticles
and CRISPR

In 2017, this article about CRISPR/Cas-9, titled: "Cas9 Delivery with Gold Nanoparticles Shows Promise in DMD," was posted on the National Institute of Health’s Director’s Blog.

The excerpt below is what the Director of NIH (Francis Collins) wrote in 2017 about Gold Nanoparticles and how they emerged as a superior delivery system for CRISPR when compared to previous methods.

"The challenge is delivering all these components into the appropriate tissues in a safe and efficient manner. Currently, most researchers use inactivated, non-disease-causing viruses to ferry various parts of the CRISPR/Cas9 system into cells.

However, because of size constraints, it’s not possible to fit all three components into a single virus.  Also, because of the large number of viral particles needed to carry CRISPR/Cas9 components in separately, there are concerns that viral delivery systems could trigger immune responses in people.

Not only could such immune responses pose a safety hazard to patients, they could also reduce the effectiveness of the viral delivery system.

Because of these challenges, there’s been great interest in developing better ways to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 therapeutics.

In the new study recently reported in Nature Biomedical Engineering, Irina Conboy and Niren Murthy at the University of California, Berkeley, decided to try a delivery vehicle they call CRISPR-Gold.

Gold might seem like an odd choice, but gold nanoparticles possess a special ability to penetrate cell membranes and have been considered for use in delivering therapies for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other conditions.

In addition, gold is generally well tolerated by the human body and has the advantage of linking easily to DNA."

Professor Invents
New Cancer Imaging Tool using
Gold Nanoparticles

The study comes from Georgia State University, where a chemistry professor, Dr. Ning Fang, has developed a new Optical Imaging Tool to target cancer cells.

The new optical imaging technique is called "SPORT," which is short for "Single Particle Orientation and Rotational Tracking."

Dr. Fang's invention is a differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy-based imaging tool; it traces gold nanoparticles of various shapes and sizes.

In the article, Dr. Ning Fang stated the following about using Gold Nanoparticles:

"Gold nanoparticles can inhibit cancer cell migration and prevent metastasis, which is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Until now, not much has been understood about why gold nanoparticles have this ability.  The "SPORT" helps answer this question, providing insight into nanoparticle-protein and cell interactions specifically related to cell migration.” - Dr. Ning Fang

Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research
&
THC
(Tetrahydrocannabinol)

A team of researchers out of Boston, MA, led by Wilfred Ngwa, Ph.D., has published a report proposing the use of gold nanoparticle drones armed with cannabinoids to fight tumors.

The research proposes that these new gold nanoparticle drones would carry payloads of cannabinoids (THC) and radiosensitizers (radiation drugs) to the targeted cancer cells.

Dr. Ngwa states the following in the article about using Gold Nanoparticles for his research:

“They are biocompatible radiosensitizers,” states the report, “proffering relatively no toxicity. They can readily interact with photons by the photoelectric effect, to emit missile-like photoelectrons or Auger electrons in the micrometer range, to substantially boost [radiotherapy] damage to cancer cells.” - Wilfred Ngwa, Ph.D.

India / Russia
Gold Nanoparticle Research

A Russian/Indian research team from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS, in Moscow, and the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, in Kolkata, conducted experiments in the following news summary.

In the study, the joint researchers used Gold Nano-Stars and lasers to kill cancer cells; below is an excerpt from the article.

"The focus of the research was to formulate a benign nanostructure suitable for medicinal purpose," Dulal Senapati from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics and head of the NUST MISIS infrastructure project, told IANS.

Star-shaped nanoparticles appear to be the most efficient in photothermal therapy (PTT) that uses light radiation for the treatment of many medical conditions, including cancer.

In this process, nanoparticles embedded within tumours generate heat in response to externally applied laser light. It has been well documented as an independent strategy for highly selective cancer treatment.

Senapati said when a nanoparticle reaches the affected area, the area is blasted with a laser pulse. The nanoparticle absorbs the light and focuses it like a lens, directing it straight to the star's sharp edge.

This light is then converted into heat which is concentrated at the star's tip. The generated heat flow breaks the membrane of a cancer cell and destroys it while not harming the healthy cells.”

Inexpensive, Non-Invasive Tool
for the Early Cancer Detection

The last article is from the University of Wollongong and Griffith University in Australia, where researchers have developed a new class of nanoporous, iron oxide, gold nano-cubes that can be used as an inexpensive, non-invasive tool for early cancer detection.

Dr. Md. Shahriar Hossain, one of the researchers in this study, stated the following about the findings of the research:

“Early diagnosis of cancer leads to more effective and cheaper treatment, and the majority of cancers can be treated successfully if they are detected at their earliest stages,” Dr. Hossain said.

“However, current cancer diagnostic methods are relatively expensive and most people in developing countries can’t afford them and don’t have easy access to the equipment needed to perform them.

“The test we have developed is cheap, simple and portable. It can be used for rapid screening of early cancer biomarker in areas where people can’t afford the high economic burden of other cancer diagnostic methods.” - Dr. Md. Shahriar Hossain
