Medical Cures from the Deep
The Red Sea is known as one of the saltiest and hottest bodies of water the world over being inland and with little water going in and out. Salinity is due to the overall enclosed arid area which the sea lies and the creatures that live there are truly unique being able to survive the extreme conditions. One of these amazing creatures is the Red Sea Coral which has been found to produce a very potent chemo-preventive and chemo-therapeutic anti-cancer agent known as sarcophine-diol. The said substance has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and has proven effective in use as treatment for skin cancer, inducing the cancer cells to go into early cell death eliminating the disease from afflicted tissue.
Such sea creatures are the focus of many studies due to their amazing ability to exist in almost lethal environments such as the Red Sea and the deeps of the many other oceans. Bacteria and other microorganisms from the deep use unique ways to combat the deadly environment where they live that would kill all other creatures not native to their habitat. creatures from the deepest parts of the ocean are also being studied for their innate ability to live near or even on hot underwater geysers that leach toxic solutions of salt water high in cyanide and other deadly substances. These creatures are giving us some of the best tools to combat cancer that kills millions of people all over the world each year, no matter their size, they still have potent tools and abilities that are simply too good to be true.
