Modern technology has helped countless number of people in their daily lives. With their aid different types of medical treatments were discovered. Custom monoclonal antibodies have been created in labs to treat several types of diseases. A monoclonal antibody is a manufactured antibody that is made to target specific defects in cells. They mimic the natural antibodies of your immune system to ward off germs, vaccines, invaders and other unwanted organisms. Monoclonal antibodies often are made from laboratory mice that are immunized by injecting an antigen in order for them to produce an antibody that will specifically target that antigen.

While some drugs using monoclonal antibodies are still experimental, there are quite a few being used successfully and these antibodies also are used to create diagnostic tests. The test to determine whether or not a person has HIV or AIDS has been created using custom monoclonal antibodies and this is just one example. There is no denying that Monoclonal Antibodies have made huge impact in medicine and has helped treat viral diseases that were once considered to be untreatable before.

This is why monoclonal antibody treatments are becoming well recognized today. More and more people are looking for an alternative in treating their disease and they have found it with a monoclonal antibody treatment. This is done by binding the manufactured antibodies to target cells or proteins. These cells will then be targeted and attacked from the inside with the patient's immune system. This proved to be a treatment that has fewer risks compared to other kinds of drugs.

Monoclonal antibodies are used in the radioimmunodetection and radioimmunotherapy of cancer. This new method of treatment can assist in targeting only the cell membranes of cancerous cells which can help avoid damaging or affecting other vital organs and cells. Ritoxin is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body and was created based on monoclonal antibodies. ADEPT, or Antibody-Directed Enzyme Pro-Drug Therapy, is a new form of cancer treatment that uses monoclonal antibodies. However, this is still under development, but shows a great deal of promise.

Monoclonal antibodies are not only used to treat cancer since they are now widely used to treat other types of diseases today. It is now possible to treat many autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease and some types of macular degeneration with their help.

There is still much to do since scientists are still continuing their research and study about these manufactured antibodies. There is still room for improvement since monoclonal antibody treatment is mainly in developmental stages. We hope to see and hear more of this drug and its advancements in fighting many diseases, especially those such as Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's disease and Huntington's disease, which are fatal and have no cure as of yet.

In 1979, Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, grandmaster of the nine martial traditions that make up the core training of the Warrior Concepts Mastery Programs, wrote a book entitled Mono-no-Mikata, Kangae-Kata ["Ways of Seeing, Ways of Thinking."] In it, he wrote a section called Deshi-iri which, translated from Japanese, means "Becoming a Student" or, more literally, "Entering an Apprenticeship."

I'm sure that many of you have noticed that, in my articles, I write more about mental aspects than anything else. The purpose for this is that you should realize the importance of your attitude before you enter martial arts training, especially the kind of authentic warriorship training that I focus on in my programs, as opposed to the general or conventional kickingpunching sport-activity that so many get involved with these days.

Unlike today, the traditional means for a person to be accepted as a student of a warrior master were quite different. Today, a person enrolls in the training and, from day-one, the teacher says, "Fine, step this way" or "do this technique like this." But, according to Hatsumi-sensei, imagine that an aspiring student, someone hoping to learn the martial arts, comes to the dojo hoping to train. The teacher of the dojo did not accept that student immediately. He decides whether to admit him or her after watching them on repeated visits, burning with the desire to become a student, and observing their attitude. So, that type of person would be accepted.

Students in the mastery leadership and SWAT instructor training programs at Warrior Concepts should remember that a recommendation was necessary and certain criteria had to be fulfilled before we even sat down to discuss your becoming a full student under me. Still, this is different from the traditional training in that a teacher usually did not teach Budo right away.

This "trial" period may have lasted several months or even years. The new person was made to clean the dojo, wash his senior's training clothes, work on the meals and cooking, and run errands. It was only once the teacher recognized that this person's personality could put up with these mundane inconveniences, that he was taught the martial arts and put through the often remorseless training on a regular basis.

When I say that this training is not for everyone, I'm not just talking about it in a sport or preferential way...

...like basket-weaving is for some and ice hockey for others.
