It is widely believed that, in due course of time and once realized, nanorobots in medicine would drastically change the medicine world. Nanomedicine would utilize these nanorobots e.g., computational genes, by introducing them into the body, which in turn,would repair or detect damages and infections. According to Robert Freitas of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, a typical blood borne medical nanorobot would be between 0.5-3 micrometres in size, because that is the maximum size possible due to capillary passage requirement. Carbon could be the primary element used to build these nanorobots due to the inherent strength and other characteristics of some forms of carbon (diamond/fullerene composites), and nanorobots would be fabricated in desktop nanofactories specialized for this purpose.
Nanodevices could be observed at work inside the body using MRI, especially if their components were manufactured using mostly 13C atoms rather than the natural 12C isotope of carbon, since 13C has a nonzero nuclear magnetic moment. Medical nanodevices would first be injected into a human body, and would then go to work in a specific organ or tissue mass. The doctor will monitor the progress, and make certain that the nanodevices have gotten to the correct target treatment region. The doctor will also be able to scan a section of the body, and actually see the nanodevices congregated neatly around their target (a tumor mass, etc.) so that he or she can be sure that the procedure was successful.

BENEFITS OF GRAPES

Some of the health benefits of grapes include the following:

Grapes can be used for:

1. Curing kidney disorders as well as asthma
2. Increasing moisture present in lungs
3. Increasing nitric oxide levels in the blood thereby preventing
blood clots and hence minimizing the probability of heart attacks.
It also prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which blocks the
blood vessels through the action of antioxidants present in grapes
4. Helps in curing migraine as well as in overcoming indigestion,
constipation and fatigue
5. Boosts the immune system by the action of natural antioxidants
present within.
6. Helps in the management of Alzheimer’s disease.
7. Possess antibacterial and anticancer activities.

Ginseng and Cancer

Ginseng and Cancer

Cell culture studies carried out by Professor David E. Williams and Dr. Sharon K. Kruger from ‘The Linus Pauling Institute’ have demonstrated that:
Certain ginsenosides possess anticancer effects, which shows
(a) Dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth
(b) Tumor cell toxicity
(c) Reverse transformation of tumor
(d) Inhibition of tumor cell invasion
They also found that not all ginsenosides have anticancer properties. Since ginsenosides have a steroidal structure, the above researchers thought that they may have their most profound anticancer effects on hormonally regulated cancers, such as breast cancer.
