For Gus (& Nalakrats).

I almost didn't post this, but credit is due to Gus.

New Thai study:

"Siamese crocodile white blood cell extract inhibits cell 1 proliferation and promotes autophagy in multiple cancer cell lines."

I now believe everything I read on the internet.

Ok guys. I feel like the dummy here but I see all the comments about crocodile blood. Is that some inside joke that I an missing or are you guys serious ?

It's an inside joke, although the two dozen posts that Gus has made on the subject erroneously referred to it as "gator blood". These on-going posts are usually at the expense of Nalakrats.

I think they are referring to BIRM. It’s from the amazon made in Ecuador.

Looks like a real study but I am not going on safari.

I'm cancelling my appearance on Naked and Afraid.

Good Luck and Good Health.

This appears to be a serious study on the blood of a crocodile that lives in SE Asia.

"The historic range of the Siamese crocodile included most of Southeast Asia. This species is now extinct in the wild or nearly extinct from most countries except Cambodia. Formerly it was found in Cambodia, Indonesia (Borneo and possibly Java), Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, and Burma."

Was the crocodile "sacrificed" to get the blood or was he/she a willing donor? The SPCA wants to know. If the blood becomes valuable, Florida is a perfect habitat for a new, medically valuable creature.
