I'm down on my knees again tonight,

I'm hoppin' this prayer will turn out right.

See, there is a boy that needs Your help.

I've done all that I can do myself

His mother is tired,

I'm sure You can understand.

Each night as he sleeps

She goes in to hold his hand,

And she tries

Not to cry

As the tears fill her eyes.

Can You hear me?

Am I getting through tonight?

Can You see him?

Can You make him feel all right?

If You can hear me

Let me take his place some how.

See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,

I dream of the boy he'd like to be.

I try to be strong and see him through,

But God, who he needs right now is You.

Let him grow old,

Live life without this fear.

What would I be

Living without him here?

He's so tired,

And he's scared

Let him know that You're there.

Can You hear me?

Am I getting through tonight?

Can You see him?

Can You make him feel all right?

If You can hear me

Let me take his place some how.

See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Can You hear me?

Am I getting through tonight?

Can You see him?

Can You make him feel all right?

If You can hear me

Let me take his place somehow.

See, he's not just anyone.

Can You hear me?

Can You see him?

Please don't leave him,

He's my son.

Injecting the body with salt kills cancer cells

Salt injection 'kills cancer cells' by causing them to self destruct... and it could pave the way for new drugs to prevent the disease

Scientists at the University of Southampton have helped create a technique that can cause cancer cells to self-destruct

International team developed a molecule that kill the disease by carrying sodium and chloride ions into the cells

It is hoped the breakthrough could pave the way for new anti-cancer drugs

Scientists have created a technique which can cause cancer cells to self-destruct by injecting them with salt.

Researchers from the University of Southampton are part of an international team that has helped to create a molecule that can kill the disease by carrying sodium and chloride ions into the cells.

Synthetic ion transporters have been created before but this is the first time researchers have demonstrated how an influx of salt into a cell triggers cell death.

These synthetic ion transporters, described this week in the journal Nature Chemistry, could point the way to new anti-cancer drugs while also benefiting patients with cystic fibrosis.

Scientists at the University of Southampton have created a new technique, which can cause cancer cells to self destruct, by injecting them with salt

Researchers have found a molecule can kill the disease, by carrying sodium and chloride ions into the cells

Study co-author Professor Philip Gale, of the University of Southampton, said: 'This work shows how chloride transporters can work with sodium

channels in cell membranes to cause an influx of salt into a cell.

'We found we can trigger cell death with salt.'

Cells in the human body work hard to maintain a stable concentration of ions inside their cell membranes.

Disruption of this delicate balance can trigger cells to go through apoptosis, known as programmed cell death, a mechanism the body uses to rid itself of damaged or dangerous cells.

One way of destroying cancer cells is to trigger this self-destruct sequence by changing the ion balance in cells.

Unfortunately, when a cell becomes cancerous, it changes the way it transports ions across its cell membrane in a way that blocks apoptosis.

It is hoped the breakthrough will help pave the way for new anti-cancer drugs. Pictured are cancer cells under the microscope

The researchers have overcome this by developing the synthetic way for transporting the ions but unfortunately this also destroys healthy cells which would have to be overcome for it to be useful in treating cancer.

Prof Jonathan Sessler, at Austin's College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas, said: 'We have thus closed the loop and shown that this mechanism of chloride influx into the cell by a synthetic transporter does indeed trigger apoptosis.

'This is exciting because it points the way towards a new approach to anti-cancer drug development.'

http://www.justgiving.com/debralifeline Stormchaser Sam Smith presents an appeal on behalf of DEBRA, the UK's leading charity supporting the 5000 people in the UK who live with the painful genetic skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). This genetic condion leaves her skin is so fragile, the slightest touch or rub can result in painful blisters and open wounds. Sam talks about life with the life limiting condition and how DEBRA have enabled her to live as full a life as possible - even taking in storm chasing.

The film features Jenna, who describes the value of having a DEBRA Community Support worker who helped her learn to care for her baby son Freddie and change his dressings, even when he is in pain. DEBRA also arranged a grant so the family could install carpet that wouldn't chafe Freddie's skin. Sam relates to 11-year-old Josh, who is determined not to let his skin condition rule his life. DEBRA has enabled Josh's family to go on holiday. The charity is appealing for support for its work giving direct help to people living with EB, and for the research it funds into a possible cure.
