Kangaroos to the rescue again!!

From our Sunday paper;
"Roos "key" to cancer; Scientists expect to start clinical trials within two years on what has been described as the "Holy Grail" of cancer treatments. Dr.Ming Wei, from the University of Queensland Department of Medicine, said he was "very confident" of success in developing the treatment, which uses bacteria from kangaroos to attack tumours.
In January, Dr.Wei and his team will genetically modify a common bacterium from kangaroos to develop a product that is expected to be effective in combating up to 90% of cancers."

wow..first stopping cows and sheep popping off, now a cure for most cancers?!
