Not just dogs and cats, some animals such as rabbits, pigs, snakes are also beneficial improving human health. Some of them help scientists develop new treatments for serious diseases including diabetes, dementia and Parkinson's.
Dr. Samantha Wright, a psychologist who studies the relationship between humans and pets, say, nothing is impossible to obtain the potential benefits of the animal."The idea that pets and good health tied back in a few decades. There are many species that can help develop new treatments for all diseases, "Samantha said as quoted from the pages of The Sun.Here are some of the top animal in the world that could help humans heal some diseases, as revealed by Lynsey Haywood:
1. Dogs can sniff out cancer Quadruped, not only can be friends, they can also detect cancer early stage through the senses of smell.In a study in Japan, the Labrador is given breath and stool samples to sniff, and it turns out they were able to identify the presence of colon cancer derived from patients. The scientists believe that the smell of the tumor can be detected by the sense of smell dogs.Dr. Hideto Sonoda said that now the research needed to develop an 'electronic dog nose' as detection of cancer. "The chemical compound of smell is not clear. Only the dog knows the answer. "
2. Rabbits can be detection of cervical cancer Detecting cervical cancer using the rabbit was developed after two British scientists discovered the virus that triggers the disease in rabbits during the 1960's. The result, a vaccine that can prevent cervical cancer.This vaccine became available in 2006 after 70 years of animal research carried out. The British government had offered an injection of this vaccine to women ages 12 to 13 years in order to prevent further spread of the disease that kills nearly 1,000 women a year in England.
3. Cats can prevent the risk of stroke People who have cats, 40 percent less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack, according to a study at the University of Minnesota in the U.S..Researcher Dr Adnan Qureshi said, stroking the cat moggies could actually reduce stress and anxiety its owner, making them able to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. "This opens up new avenues for treatment, and unlike drugs or surgery, owning a cat seems to have no risk."
4. Rabbits and hamsters cure asthma Children who grow up with pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits or hamsters may develop asthma or allergies, according to scientists.But U.S. researchers studied a group of children in New York and find that grew in a less sterile environment sometimes can actually improve their health.Researcher Matt Perzanowski says, "Exposure to certain bacteria may provide an opportunity to build a child's immunity."
5. Snakes can cure high blood pressure People who are bitten by venomous snakes can be unconscious because their blood pressure dropped. Inspired by snake venom work, scientists developed a synthetic version of toxic chemicals made from the Brazilian pit viper venom.Known as ACE inhibitors, they have helped millions of people to lower blood pressure to reduce the risk of stroke, heart and kidney disease. Snake venoms contain up to 100 different substances, so it can be used to treat various diseases.
6. Dolphins cure diabetes The dolphins can help people heal diabetes. The scientists found that mammals are resistant to insulin, such as some diabetics.But the privilege of the dolphins studied by the National Foundation for the U.S. Marines. Mammals are able to switch to fight against the deadly disease.They can do this when they eat, which allows them to cope with high protein, and one fish that can do low-carb diet.
7. Fish can cure dementia Parents who eat fish or seafood once a week at low risk of developing dementia, according to a French study.Scientists say the fatty acids in fish oil help reduce inflammation in the brain and play a role in nerve cell regeneration. Fish also can help lower blood pressure.Numerous studies have found that watching fish swimming in the aquarium can also bring a sense of calm and reduce anxiety.
8. Pigs can cure Parkinson'sA U.S. study found that pig cells are transplanted into the brain cells of Parkinson's disease can help patients regain mobility.Cells taken from fetal pigs that have not been born or grown. The goal is that after they moved into the human brain, they will be developed into human cells to produce dopamine, such as brain function. Dr. Curt Freed of the University of Colorado, said, "It is a remarkable development."
