The cancer research is interesting. There is a protien called Contortrostatin that was discovered by Dr. Markland and derived from Southern Copperhead Venom. This protien is used in the treatment of Breast, Ovarian, and Brain Cancer. A while back, I contacted Dr. Markland with an idea - a selective breeding program of Southern Copperheads in order to increase the consentration of Contortrostatin. Thus we could get much more from each milking. Cancer is not going to go away, so starting this program now may have a dramatic effect in the future supplies of Contortrostatin. We are currently working through the logistics (he is in Cali). But he has sent me a list of people to contact and hopefully we can work together with a milking facility to complete this (I can't afford the equipment [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] ). Here's to hoping.
