Honeybee Venom Kills the Most Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells in 60 Seconds
A study of the effects on breast cancer has been published revealing astonishing results.
A molecule called melittin – the very same substance responsible for creating the painful sensation caused by the bee’s sting – is also capable of demolishing breast cancer cells within an hour!
The Australian study tested melittin on the two most aggressive types of breast cancer – triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer – which have the worst outcomes and tend to develop resistance to existing treatments.
“The venom was extremely potent,” said Dr. Ciara Duffy, who led the research. “We found that melittin can completely destroy cancer cell membranes within 60 minutes.”
