Prostatic acid phosphatase is like Morphine

Since 1805, morphine and its derivatives have become the most widely used treatment for severe pain. According to Dr Jonathan Moss, MD, PhD, professor of anesthesia and critical care at the University of Chicago, he said that “morphine remains the standard against which all new medications for postoperative pain relief are compared.” Common side effects include: Constipation, Drowsiness, Sickness, Dizziness, Dry mouth and Hallucinations.

Some background for prostatic acid phosphatase. Prostatic acid phosphatase has been used as a tumor marker. In men high levels indicate possible metastatic prostate cancer. When a middle aged man complains to his doctor of lower back pain that does not seem to be resolved, it will be prudent of the doctor to do such a test.

The picture attached is an x-ray of a cancer that has spread to the bones in the pelvic area including the lower lumbar spine. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and the University of Helsinki have collaborated on a project that identified prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), as an excellent protein for pain suppression. The protein appears to be eight times more effective at suppressing pain than morphine.

The revolutionary technique involves an injection of the protein prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), which can combat serious discomfort for more than three days — an astonishing 14 times as long as morphine.The substance appears to have few side effects, and works by neutralizing the chemical in the body that causes the brain to feel pain.
A research team pinpointed the identity of a particular “pain protein” in nerve cells, and have found a way of converting it from a substance that causes pain into ones that suppress it.
