"Birmingham University researchers first discovered the unlikely link between the illegal substance and a viable therapy for common blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma in 2006. Additional research produced an atomically tweaked version of ecstasy's active compound, MDMA, which bolsters the drug's cancer-fighting power 100-fold in test tubes.

The original 2006 study found a fatally large dose of MDMA would be needed to make a dent in the disease. But the Birmingham team, toiling for five years along with scientists from The University of Western Australia, found a way to maximize MDMA's cancer-fighting properties, while minimizing its toxic effect on the brain.

This is how it works: The drug attaches itself to the fat in diseased cells, weakening the membrane and making them "soapy."

The cancer cells are then essentially washed away."

Now I can pop a roll and listen to gaga knowing that Ill be cancer free too..but with wholes in my brain. -_-

Cool. At least we're getting closer and closer to finding cure to one of the deadliest illnesses in the world.

The closer to curing cancer, the better

Now theres going to be medical Ecstasy.

Preach.

More than the ones you already have..


I kid, I kid,

I've only popped about 6 or 7 in 8 months. Thats not too bad Anthony.

Drugs are drugs, end of discussion

.no comment.

come on yall lets go raving!!

I despise drugs, like on a very serious note; But the abuse of the drugs is what makes them bad, but if a drug can help with things like cancer i'm all for it

I personally take a drug daily, prescribed of course, it helps me live my life smoother; my mother, a cancer survivor has done her "green party" drug with chrisgaggers and i'm cool with that...


so, abuse of drugs i'm not for, but, use of drugs... depends on what for, i'm all for.

The only drug I abusive would have to be weed. But we all know there has not been a documented death caused by Miss Mary-Jane.

I only do that one when Im too ****ed up, its give me a little boost. :X

except that it started as medical ecstasy in the first place
used by shrinks

it was an exercise pill.

we both benefited from Mary Jane in one way or another

Eh. Rave culture has completely ruined my desire to ever try ecstasy.

My first raver friend to say anything about this gets slapped.
