Platinum in Healthcare industryPlatinum and its isotopes have become a real discovery in treating one of the most dangerous and insidious diseases — cancer. For the first time the beneficial properties of platinum in fighting against the deadly disease were mentioned back in the 20th century. A number of foreign scientists presented results of their successful studies on the effects of platinum on cancer cells. In other words, this precious metal breaks down a cancer cell into separate daughter cells, which are immediately phagocytized (captured) by macrophages, or by neighboring cells without an inflammatory reaction.
The platinum-based drug consists of a central platinum atom negatively charged, surrounded by two ammonium ligands and two chlorine ions. Upon penetration into a cancer cell, during the hydrolysis, the charge changes to positive and chloride ions are replaced with OH groups, thereby destroying the DNA structure of cancer cells.
This pattern works effectively to fight lung, ovarian, bladder cancer and many other types of cancer. The method is constantly being improved, which enables to significantly prolong patients’ lives, or even completely defeat the lethal disease.
Large-scale production of platinum-based drugs requires modern equipment and a constant material supply for obtaining platinum. This issue can easily be solved through active application of Cold Nuclear Synthesis. Due to the modern developments, the price of these drugs won’t keep on growing, as a result of the shortage of this precious metal in Nature. And those who have already given up the hope to defeat cancer, will be able to live a healthy and a carefree life.
Among other things, platinum is irreplaceable in dentistry, since it is used for the production of dentures. Also, most medical equipment is made of platinum, due to its unique properties.
At the moment, the study of beneficial effects of platinum on a human body continues. According to scientists, modern science has not discovered all the beneficial properties of platinum yet. Perhaps in the near future, platinum-based drugs will help cure other life-threatening diseases as well.
