Daily study found that interferon, a peptide, can help prevent cancer

Japanese scientists have proved in experiments that when the cold virus invades the human body, the body's immune system will produce a substance called interferon It can protect normal cells from virus infection, inhibit virus reproduction, destroy cancerous cells at the same time, or slow down the division of some cancer cells, and enhance the resistance of human immune system to cancer cells   Interferon is a kind of polypeptide material, which has many important immune regulatory functions It can inhibit the synthesis of protein and nucleic acid of virus or tumor cells, enhance the recognition function of abnormal cells, activate and enhance the killing effect of macrophages on tumor cells, and increase the killing activity of natural killer cells on tumor cells by 4-20 times The researchers first infected 14 mice with highly malignant "neuroblastoma" and then injected some viruses into the mice Two months later, the cancer cells in nine of the mice miraculously disappeared The study also found that tumor cells are actually more afraid of high temperature than normal cells Therefore, modern medicine believes that cold and fever are not entirely bad things, and never cold is not necessarily a good thing It is true that many cancer patients seldom get cold at ordinary times German scientists have found that the average person who catches a cold less than once a year is 5-6 times more likely to have cancer than the person who catches a cold several times a year Cold incidence rate of fever, headache, nasal congestion, runny nose and other discomfort symptoms also reduce the incidence of cancer Cold can also wake up the immune system to strengthen the immune function, quickly recognize and kill tumor cells Occasionally cold, wind cold and other small diseases are actually manifestations of low immunity, but on the other hand, it can strengthen the immune system in time, wake it up for self-regulation, intensify and help the human body to restore normal immune function This process of repair and adjustment can keep the body constantly alert to external interference That is to say, patients with common cold can make the immune system of the body always in a state of vigilance Once there are mutant cells, they will immediately recognize them and kill them.
