Liposomal Encapsulation Has Really Improved Modern Medicine

By Ida Dorsey


Liposomes improved the effects of the medication you use. Liposomal encapsulation is a form of nutrients that are protected by a thin membrane. They are very similar substances that make up ones cell allowing the nutrients to pass through the membranes in one piece and ready to work. This form of technology is not like pills and powder that one tends to take which tend to get flushed from the body.

A liposome is a circular vesicle made up of double layers and is liquid filled bubbles made from phospholipids. These are then used as a means of transportation for administering certain thick pharmaceutical drugs and nutrients. These drugs are a chemical substance made as a single active ingredient. They are normally packed in separate single packs and are used for external, internal as well as for all treatments, cures, and medical identifications.

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.

The word liposome comes from two Greek words; the first is fat and the other body. They were first discovered while scientists were testing a new electron microscope and added a negative stain to dry phospholipids. This negative staining is a method used in diagnostic microscopy, for different small specimens with an optically opaque fluid.

All cancer cells tend to divide much quicker than the healthy cells and chemotherapy drugs are effective in targeting them. Even the fast growing healthy cells will be damaged in the process. With all the different cancer drugs out there just about every one of them has some bad side effects.

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.

Aniline or amino benzene is a toxic compound consisting of a phenyl group and is attached to the amino group. The main use for this is in the making of precursors to polyurethane. It is very volatile and ignites very quickly leaving a smell of rotten fish in its wake.

If liposomal encapsulation works so well for the transportation of nutrients one can only hope that it might also be successful for transporting life saving drugs to those afflicted with cancer and many other illnesses as well. The drugs will not affect the white blood cells which results in neutropenia. They are a crucial part in keeping the immune system healthy enough to fight off infections.
