Liposomal Encapsulation Has Really Improved Modern Medicine

By Ida Dorsey


Sometime, you need something far more specific, than just an over the counter pain relief pill. Liposomal encapsulation technology even has a do it yourself group. This is where they get together and throw out new ideas and report on results. It was found that by doing it this way one does not have to go through the complex route of formulating drug carrying liposomes. These are more commonly carried out in laboratories around the world.

The founder Mr Brooks Bradley showed that by combining water, lecithin and vitamin c together and then adding this little mixture to an ultrasonic bath it can produce a medical product. A simple recipe on how to make liposomes involves lecithin getting dissolved in a solvent. This could be chloroform or acetone and then once it has evaporated it will leave a thin layer on the container.

The normal method when taking these in tablet, liquid or even powders form many do not get processed by the body therefore not getting absorbed like they should. These liposomes are made from essential phospholipids helping to protect the nutrient from getting destroyed by the digestive juices. There is a much higher success rate when used this way that the vitamin will be directed into the bloodstream and therefore into the cells.

There is speculation that using anticancer drugs in this way will help deliver the drug to the malignant tissue and not the whole body. It is an ongoing experiment in the oncology division. Encapsulating this drug is expected to provide better safety as well as effectiveness. Taking the normal cancer drug is a sure way of feeling ill as it kills good cells in an effect to get to the diseased ones.

The actual specimen will not be touched but the background will be left stained and easier to see. It can also be done with a positive staining and in this way only the specimen will be stained. The ink used is called nigrosin and is a mix of synthetic dyes which are made up by heating a mixture of nitrobenzene, aniline hydrochloride with some copper or iron catalyst.

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound and is water insoluble yellow oil that has an odour similar to almonds. Once it is frozen they will become more of a greenish yellow crystal. When this compound is made on a bigger scale it changes from benzene to aniline. Occasionally when used in the laboratories they are used as a solvent.

Having been diagnosed with cancer a blood count is done which is a very important part of the therapy. This is because they can harm the cells that are situated in the bone marrow, where blood is produced. Everyone knows that the red blood cells are the ones that ensure that oxygen is delivered to the tissues. Without this one can get anaemia which can make one feel exhausted.

Liposomal encapsulation employs a phospholipids liposome to create a resistance that repels the unhelpful actions of the digestive juices as well as the free radicals of the body. These kinds of protection will last from the time the nutrients reach the GI tract until the contents has reached its target. They are absorbed by the cells and transferred into the intracellular spaces.
