Japanese Researchers Became Muslim by Quran’s Miracle

According  to Aljazeera  newspaper  published  in  Saudi Arabia,  a  group  of 

researchers working on a protein  in brain were surprised from the results 

of    research   done by a Muslim doctor  ( Dr.  Ibrahim Khalife)  referring  to 

Holy Quran  and they became Muslim. This research group were investigat‐

ing  “Methalonid” a protein which  is  created  in human and animal brain, 

and they reached to olive and ficus that Allah 

has sworn to  it. Methalonid  is   very essential 

and decrease cholesterol and  strengthen  the 

heart  and  self  confidence.  According  to  this 

report human brain produce this protein from 

51 to 53 years of age  and then it reduces gradually and 

when you reach to 60 it stops; therefore, getting this substance is not easy. 

Researchers are  concentrating on plants  to  find  it. They have  found  that 

Methalonid eliminate aging effects and it only exist in olive and ficus. While 

God has men oned these two fruits in Quran, 7  mes olive and once ficus. 

By mixing these por ons, that  is 7 olives and 1 ficus then you will have  it. 

This was the exact thing that the Japanese research group had found and it 

was men oned in Quran 1400 years ago.   

1st Meeting of Medicinal Plants Veterans

The 1st mee ng of medicinal plants veterans  in  Iran was held  in research 

ins tute of forests and rangelands on 13 October 2011. This mee ng  with 

presence of those who were over 50    in order to utilize their experiences 

for creating a  think tank  to organize production and utilization of medici‐

nal  plants.  Dr.  Rezaee  the  chief  of  Iranian Medicinal  Plants  Society  told 

“more  than 7  thousands of   plant species exists  in  Iran  that only 800 are 

among  medicinal and ornamental plants”. He added,  unfortunately many 

of  these  species  after  production without  process    and  preparation  for 

drugs are exported and after  these processes are  send back  to  Iran with 

very high prices. He said one our major aims is to prevent the exportation 

of  these species before processing and  to 

reach this aim we have to have the equip‐

ments. Dr. Rezaee explained,  in Iran there 

are  species  as  Rosa  damascena,  Ferula 

persica, Ferula gummosa and Bunium per‐

sicum  that  have  unique  features  in  the 

world but are exported without processing. Another goal of  this meeting 

was farming medicinal plants using new technologies.

A New Anti-malarial Agent Found in Native

Plants of Khorasan

 According  to  Iranian Students News Agency  (ISNA)   Dr. 

Rostayian stated: Malaria is one the most serious health 

problems  in many parts of the world especially in Africa 

and Latin America, with high mortality and resistance to 

standard drugs,  is dangerous and complicated. This dis‐

ease    is  caused  by  a  genus  of 

plasmodium  in  red  blood  cells  

and  transmitted  through  an  in‐

fected bite  and cause periodical 

fever  and  chills.   He  added  the 

amount of mortality in children under 4 years because of 

resistance  of parasite to Chloroquie medicine in six years 

has  increased 11  times.  In Africa every year more  than 

one million children die due to this disease. The thought 

to destroy the disease by drug is not realistic. There are 

many  different  drugs    suggested  and  used  for malaria 

but  among  them  one  new  and well  known  one  is  Ar‐

temisinin  .    Chemically,  Artemisinin  is  a  sesquiterpene 

lactone containing an unusual peroxide bridge.  It  is be‐

lieved  that  this  peroxide  is  responsible  for  the  drug's 

mechanism of action. No other natural compound with 

such a peroxide bridge  is known. Use of  the drug by  it‐

self  as  a monotherapy  is  explicitly  discouraged  by  the 

World Health Organization as there have been signs that 

malarial parasites are developing resistance to the drug. 

Therapies that combine artemisinin with some other anti

‐malarial  drug  are  the  preferred  treatment  for malaria 

and are both effective and well tolerated in patients. The 

antimalarial activity of Artemisia diffusa extracts and the 

fraction which contains sesquiterpene lactones including 

Tehranolide, on Plasmodium berghei in vivo on the mice 

model of malaria was investigated.  It demonstrates that 

crude extracts of Artemisia diffusa  inhibit the growth of 

Plasmodium berghei in vivo in NMRI mice. The scientific 

research article was presented in the fifty ninth Interna‐

tional Congress of Medicinal Plants and Natural Products 

in Antalya, Turkey. 

Modeling Cancer Using Ecological Principles

Central's open  access  journal Theoretical Biology and Medical 

Modelling  uses  the  Tilman model of compe on between invasive 

species to study the metastasis of prostate cells into bone. 

Approximately 40,000 men a year in the US who have apparently suc‐

cessful  surgery or  radiotherapy  for prostate  cancer will  suffer  incur‐

able metastasis of their disease in bone. The prostate cells invade the 

bone marrow and, sometimes after years of remaining dormant, com‐

pete with hematopoietic stem cells and take over the bone microenvi‐

ronment. The Tilman model examines various components of invasion 

of species into an environment. Kun‐Wan Chen and Kenneth J. Pienta 

from  the University of Michigan substituted steps  in cancer progres‐

sion into the Tilman equations. After initially multiplying and undergo‐

ing genetic mutation (equivalent to evolution) within the prostate, the 

cancer cells leave the prostate and enter the circulation. The next step 

is a period of survival in circulation followed by invasion into bone. 

Once in the bone there is a 'lag period' while the cells establish them‐

selves. Eventually, the cancer cells begin to multiply and out‐compete 

the hematopoietic stem cells. Kun‐Wan Chen explained, "The invading 

cancer cells could be thought of as several species, and the fittest mu‐

tants become dominant  and multiply.  Eventually  there  is  a massive 

impact  on  the  biosphere  (human  host)."  Prof  Pienta  continued, 

"Devastating ecological  invasions are well known. For example  intro‐

duction of domestic animals to Mauritius resulted in extinction of the 

dodo  and  Caulerpa  taxifolia,  a mutated  killer  algae,  is  plaguing  the 

Mediterranean.  Cancer metastasis  follows  a  similar  path  to  that  of 

ecological  invasions  and  our  adaptation  of  the  Tilman  equations 

shows how invading cancer cells can destroy the normal body habitat. 

Use of ecological modeling can help us understand the complex biol‐

ogy of metastasis."

Anti- virus Stomach Vaccine Using Tobacco Researchers with a new method transform tobacco to a protein  

for aspiration vaccine  in order  to  combat with norovirus. This 

virus exits  in  restaurants,  ships,  schools and military garrisons  

and cause diarrhea and vomi ng. According to sta s cs of dis‐

ease control  in US   annually 23 million people suffer  from this 

disease.  Researchers  used  changed  genetical  virus  in  tobacco 

for this vaccine.
