A view way of diagnosing cancer and certain virus diseases has been announced by a group of scientists after long experiments in Montevideo Hospitals. Vinchucas, South American Parasitic insects, play a vital role in the method. Researchers discovered a marked difference in the blood sucked in by Vinchucas from healthy humans and that taken from persons suffering from cancer, polio and other virus diseases. Photo shows the Micro-pictographs of the blood crystals in a Vinchuca's stomach reveal that crystals from healthy blood (L) are perfect rectangular prisms, while those from diseased blood are in various geometrical shapes (R). Because the Vinchucas are known carriers of a fatal heart ailment called "Chagas Disease," many Latin American countries have launched drives to exterminate them.
