Mutant Wolves Of Chernobyl Appear To Be Resistant To Cancer

Via ZeroHedge

After nearly 40 years, mutated wolves roaming the deserted streets of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) appear to have developed cancer resistance, according to Princeton evolutionary biologist and ecotoxologist, Cara Love – who has been studying how the Chernobyl wolves have survived for generations while facing exposure to radioactive particles, Sky News reports.

Roughly 100,000 people were evacuated from the 1,000 square-mile CEZ in 1986, and it has remained abandoned ever since, as radiation still poses a risk.

And with no humans around, wildlife such as wolves and horses has flourished.

In 2014, Love and a team of researchers visited the CEZ, and attached radio collars to the wolves in order to track them. She said they were able to obtain “real-time measurements of where [the wolves] are and how much [radiation] they are exposed to.”

What’s more, after taking blood samples, the team discovered that the wolves were exposed to upwards of 11.28 millirem of radiation daily for their entire lives – more than 6x the legal safety limit for a human. Love found that the wolves’ immune systems displayed similar properties to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment – including specific parts of the animals’ genetic information that appears resilient to increased cancer risk.

A lot of research in humans has found mutations that increase cancer risk – with the presence of the variant BRCA gene making it more likely a woman might develop breast or ovarian cancer, for example.

But Ms Love’s work has sought to identify protective mutations that increase the odds of surviving cancer. -Sky

Love presented her findings at the annual meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology in Seattle, Washington, last month.

There is a reasonable and informed explanation why these wolves may have an enhanced immune system.

The mechanism is called “hormesis”.

The theory is that exposure to small amounts of toxins strenthens the immune system by small damage to the body that then repairs itself and becomes stronger. Like lifting weights to the point of pain damages the muscle so that it repairs itself with more muscle tissue to fight the damage and becomes stronger.

I believe hormesis is real and benificial.

Cancer takes years to develop. Wolves and other animals like deer live about 7 years. Not long enough for cancer to develop.

You are no Oncologist. Cancers erupt from all cells at any time from infancy to dotage.
They can develope in weeks. I had a collegue who thought he had a bad flu and was dead in 10 days from acute mylocytic leukemia. His cancer developed in less than 2 weeks.
Most fatal cancers happen very fast. These cancers manifest themselves to the point of being symptomatic over a few months, the person notices the change and seeks an answer and is diagnosed usually very quickly. Cancer is by definition cells that grow quickly out of control. Without treatment, some cancers are fatal in months if not weeks after symptoms.

I think it important to consider that it is the science cult who provides the indoctrination of belief, the infrastructure, the finance for and the dissemination of this subject. Perhaps the fundamental ideas are wrong here. Maybe we hold a flawed belief in radiation, or what cancer is or DNA?

Hey Mr Tyler Darden smarty pants. Maybe its just possible that either (1) there was never enough radiation leakage to cause cancer or (2) radiation is not as dangerous as the Globalists say.

Birds, mammals and plant life are flourishing around the reactor site at levels higher than even before Chernobyl.

I would suggest not living next to humans in the Exclusion Zone is why they seem to have no cancer. Our foods, products and waste all are cancer causers these days, even in Ukraine/Russia.
