Bacterium from Frogs Eradicates Tumors | Health and Fitness News
Description
Scientists in Japan have discovered a frog gut bacterium that wiped out colorectal tumors in mice with 100% success after just one dose. This bug, Ewingella americana, attacks cancer cells directly and supercharges the immune system. Unlike other gut microbiome approaches, researchers isolated this specific strain — from a Japanese tree frog — and delivered it directly. It naturally targets tumors due to their low-oxygen environment, avoids healthy tissue, and clears from the body within 24 hours. Now, scientists are testing if this could work on breast or pancreatic cancers and are exploring dose tweaks and direct tumor injections. It’s a wild, nature-inspired leap forward in cancer therapy.
