It is my (minisule!) genetic understanding that it is protein kinases, not minerals, that trigger DNA/cell replication.
There are apparently several protein kinases and several protein kinase inhibitors. We have not identified all of them as yet.
Bb contains a PKC inhibitor...a protein kinase C inhibitor.
This looks to destroy endothelial cells.
Another man-made protein kinase inhbitor is the drug, Tamoxifen which destroys estrogen dependent cancer cells.
If we can prevent Bb from locking on, we should have a "fighting chance".

okay this should go with the other post, dont you think marnie? I think it helped me understand some more stuff that you were saying in the previous thread.
I am going to copy it over there--especially coz no one has responded to this one.
If this is NOT what you want...PM and I will erase it there.
