A week before the Philippines’ first Breast Cancer Summit convenes in Cebu City, half a world away, US medical researchers have found a virus that kills breast cancer cells in laboratory tests.

An unaltered form of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) -- a non-disease-causing virus that infects humans -- was tested and found to have successfully targeted all three different tissue samples representing different stages of human breast cancer, the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) College of Medicine announced in a report posted Sept. 23 (Manila time) on the university’s official website.

"Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the world and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women," the report cited Dr. Samina Alam, the research associate in microbiology and immunology who led the study’s five other co-authors. More

Spiritual Balance

The greatest art in spiritual life is finding balance. The entire teaching of the Buddha are summed up in his encouragement to find and travel the Middle Path, which is not about compromising but avoiding extremes of a false dichotomy that is wrong on both sides. To seek neither the extremes (in terms of view) of external existence nor annihilation, neither self mortification nor sensual indulgence, neither faith nor reason [but rather direct experience]. The balance between these is the path of awakening and freedom. The path of balance is to be with what is true in life and to love that, to be committed to the truth on every level.
