CHOICES  are NOT REVERSIBLE – 1 February 2018 (Originally posted 28-30 September 2016) From the pen of Celia Joy Martins

 

Life is SEASONS FILLED WITH daily CHOICES:

Our heavenly Father gives us the FREEDOM to CHOOSE and we should make our CHOICES WISELY. The BIBLE is A BOOK ABOUT PEOPLE - JUST LIKE US  - whose CHOICES DETERMINED their LIVES and THEIR FUTURE.

 

We are DEFINED by the CHOICES we MAKE:

Adam and Eve - Cain - Noah - Esau etc. are all examples of CHOICES that they MADE - GOOD OR BAD - and the CONSEQUENCES of their CHOICES - GOOD OR BAD.

 

ESAU:

Esau's story shows that WRONG CHOICES  AND SINS could HAVE CONSEQUENCES that can NOT BE REVERSED (not even by PRAYER AND REPENTANCE AND ASKING FORGIVENESS). Although our heavenly Father WILL FORGIVE US IF we ASK FORGIVENESS and TURN AWAY from OUR SIN - we WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH the CONSEQUENCES (and the PAIN) of our WRONG CHOICE/S.

 

Hebrews 12

:12 "So then, BRACE UP and REINVIGORATE and SET RIGHT YOUR SLACKENED AND WEAKENED AND DROOPING HANDS and STRENTHEN YOUR FEEBLE AND PALSIED AND TOTTERING KNEES,

:13 AND CUT THROUGH, and MAKE FIRM AND PLAIN AND SMOOTH, STRAIGHT PATHS FOR YOUR FEET [yes, MAKE THEM SAFE and UPRIGHT and HAPPY PATHS that GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION], so that the LAME and HALTING [LIMBS] MAY NOT BE PUT OUT OF THE JOINT, but RATHER MAY BE CURED.

:14 STRIVE TO LIVE IN PEACE with EVERYBODY and PURSUE that CONSECRATION AND HOLINESS WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL [EVER] SEE Y-H-W-H (God).

:15 Exercise FORESIGHT and BE ON THE WATCH to LOOK [AFTER ONE ANOTHER] to SEE that NO ONE FALLS BACK FROM and FAILS to SECURE GOD'S GRACE (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in ORDER that NO ROOT OF RESENTMENT (rancor, bitterness or hatred) SHOOTS FORTH and CAUSES TROUBLE and BITTER TORMENT, and the many BECOME CONTAMINATED and DEFILED BY IT -

:16 That NO ONE may become GUILTY OF SEXUAL VICE, or BECOME A PROFANE (GODLESS and SACRILEGIOUS) PERSON AS ESAU DID, WHO SOLD HIS OWN BIRTHRIGHT FOR A SINGLE MEAL. [Gen. 25:29-34].

:17 FOR YOU UNDERSTAND that LATER ON, WHEN HE WANTED [to REGAIN TITLE TO] HIS INHERITANCE OF THE BLESSING, HE WAS REJECTED (DISQUALIFIED AND SET ASIDE), for HE COULD FIND NO OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR by REPENTANCE [WHAT HE HAD DONE, NO CHANCE to RECAILL the CHOICE HE HAD MADE], ALTHOUGH HE SOUGHT FOR IT CAREFULLY with [BITTER] TEARS. [Gen. 27:30-40.]"

 

The CHOICE of DISOBEDIENCE: The Book of 1 Kings BEGINS with a UNITED GOD-CENTERED KINGDOM of ISRAEL , and ENDED with a DIVIDED KINGDOM - DEGRADED into CORRUPTION and IDOLATRY. THEIR FAILURE STEMMED out of DISOBEDIENCE - a MIRROR IMAGE of our LIVES TODAY - as we are vulnerable to the SAME FORCES that brought the kingdom of Israel down.

 

LUST for POWER - IMMORALITY - JEALOUSY - GREED - SLANDER - HATE - MURDER - IDOLATRY (FALSE GODS) - COVENANTS being BROKEN - etc. were ALL PART of the TRAGIC EVENTS in ISRAEL'S HISTORY.

 

KING DAVID'S SIN with BATHSHEBA: (2 Samuel 11-12)

Even David, a 'man after the heart of YAHWEH' made wrong choices, when the ENEMY of our SOULS sent a SPIRIT OF LUST ON DAVID - and David - acting on this LUSTING after Bathsheba, the wife of his TRUSTED FRIEND URIAH, broke the COMMANDMENTS of YAHWEH when "LUST" BECAME his GOD. DAVID CHOOSE to FOLLOW his LUSTFUL thoughts - (Ex. 20 "You shall have NO other gods ...").

David "engraved" the "image" of the naked Bathsheba in his mind (soul) and forgot the God he loved - for a MOMENT of PASSION and SIN (Ex. 20 "... not make a graven image ...)

 

DAVID TRY TO COVER UP HIS SIN:

When Bathsheba send David notice that she is with child, David sent for Uriah (from the battlefield) trying to get Uriah to went home (to be with his wife) so that Uriah would think the child is his, but Uriah did not go home and slept the night at the door of David's house. (2 Sam. 11:7-9)

 

David then invited Uriah into his home, eating and drinking with him - making him drunk in an attempt to get him home - but Uriah slept with the soldiers. The next morning David sent a 'murder request' to Joab, and SENT IT WITH URIAH (his own death request) - and URIAH WAS KILLED by the ARROWS of others (Ex. 20 "You shall NOT COMMIT MURDER ...") (2 Sam. 11:10-18)

 

David committed ADULTERY (Ex. 20 "You shall not COMMIT ADULTERY ..")

 

David STOLE URIAH'S WIFE and became a THIEF. (Ex. 20 "You shall NOT steal ...")

 

David became a LIAR with his false response to the death of Uriah and he lived this lie for more than a YEAR COVERING it UP (Ex. 20 "Not lie")

 

David "coveted" his neighbor's wife (You shall NOT t covet your neighbor's wife ...")

 

CONSEQUENCES of David's sin:

The little boy that was born from David and Batsheba died after YAHWEH STRUCK him with illness.

 

WHEN KING DAVID WAS OLD:

When king David was old and advanced in years Adonijah, the son of one of David's wives Haggith, EXALTED himself by his decision (his CHOICE) to SEIZE the THRONE without his father's knowledge although he knew that his father's (king David) choice was Solomon (1 Kings 1:16)

 

David's first son Ammon had been killed by Absalom for raping his sister (2 Sam. 13:20 -33). His second son Daniel (1 Chron. 3:1) was probably dead - his third son Absalom died in an earlier rebellion (2 Sam. 18:1-18).

 

Our CHILDREN'S SPIRITUAL WELLBEING CANNOT been TAKE FOR GRANTED:

GOD-FEARING PEOPLE (like king David) in  Scripture were INSTRUMENTS in the HANDS of our heavenly FATHER to LEAD NATIONS - but they NEVERTHELESS HAD FAMILY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS. Like them - NONE OF US CAN TAKE  FOR GRANTED the SPIRITUAL WELLBEING OF OUR OWN CHILDREN.

 

DISCIPLINE

Scripture tells us in 1 Kings 1:6 that king David had never disciplined his son Adonijah - so Adonijah did NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK WITHIN LIMITS (BOUNDARIES) - and this resulted - in him always wanting HIS OWN WAY REGARDLESS of how it AFFECTED OTHERS.

 

Adonijah showed  NO RESPECT for his father David's WISHES and  also  NO RESPECT for  GOD'S WISHES.

 

An UNDISCIPLINED CHILD may look CUTE to his parents and others, but as ADULT  he may DESTROY HIMSELF and OTHERS. As we set LIMITS to our young children, we make it POSSIBLE for them to DEVELOP SELF-RESTRAINT later in adult life.

 

Hebrews 12:11 "For the TIME BEING no DISCIPLINE BRINGS JOY, but (discipline) SEEMS GRIEVOUS and PAINFUL; but AFTERWARDS it YIELDS a PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT [a HARVEST of FRUIT which CONSISTS IN RIGHTESOUSNESS - in CONFORMITY TO GOD'S WILL in PURPOSE, THOUGHT, and ACTION, RESULTING in RIGHT LIVING and RIGHT STANDING with Y-H-W-H (God)"]

 

ABBA'S LOVE for us cannot COVER our SINS without REPENTANCE:

SOLOMON (JEDIDIAH) - (BELOVED OF YAH [God]):

Solomon, the second son of king David and Bathsheba was LOVED BY YAH even as a little baby. Solomon was born after the death of David and Bathsheba's firstborn child  and in 2 Sam. 12:24 we read: "David comforted Bathsheba his wife ... and she bore a son, and she called his name Solomon. AND YAHWEH LOVED THE CHILD. :25 He (David) sent [a message] by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and Nathan CALLED the BOY'S SPECIAL NAME  "JEDIDIAH" [ BELOVED of YAHWEH] because YAH LOVED the CHILD." (Solomon's name means "PEACEABLE")

 

A STRONGHOLD of LUST: DISOBEDIENCE to the WORD

THE GENERATIONAL CURSE (of LUST) that SOLOMON INHERITED:

Solomon LOVED YAHWEH but he SINNED GREATLY by his LUST - a STRONGHOLD of the ENEMY that CONTROLLED him throughout his life.

 

TEMPTATION - LUST - DISOBEDIENCE a MIGHTY EVIL trinity:

With this SIN of LUST - this STRONGHOLD that he inherited - Solomon became DISOBEDIENT to the WORD of YAH. His foreign wives LURED HIM AWAY into the WORSHIPPING OF FALSE GODS AND IDOLS just as the WORD of YAHWEH PROPHESIED. (Deut. 7:3 "YOU SHALL NOT make MARRIAGES with them; your daughters you SHALL NOT GIVE to HIS SON nor shall YOU TAKE HIS DAUGHTER for YOUR SON. "4 For THEY WILL TURN AWAY YOUR SONS FROM FOLLOWING ME, that they may SERVE OTHER gods; so will MY ANGER be KINDLED AGAINST YOU ...")

 

THE evil trinities of SIN:

Temptation is a SIN and something we ALL FACE in our daily walk -  but  - IF we ARE NOT IGNORANT of the ENEMY'S DEVICES  - his PLANS, STRATEGIES, DECEPTIONS - PROCEDURES, MANEUVERS, TRICKS, METHODS, WAYS and SCHEMES -  we can RECOGNIZE his STRATEGIES AND our FLESHLY TENDENCIES toward GIVING IN to the SIN -  so that we can be PREPARED to SLAY the FLESH and walk in VICTORY through MESSIAH YAHSHUA.

 

2 Tim. 2:11 "To KEEP SATAN FROM GETTING the ADVANTAGE OVER US; WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF HIS WILES [tricks, deceits, charms, scams, hoaxes, deceptions, actions, activities, ways] and INTENTIONS."

 

1 Cor. 10:12 "Therefore let ANYONE WHO THINKS HE STANDS [WHO FEEL SURE that he HAS a STEADFAST MIND and is STANDING FIRM] TAKE HEED LEST HE FALL [INTO SIN].

:13 For NO TEMPTATION (no TRIAL REGARDING AS ENTICING TO SIN), [no MATTER HOW IT COMES or WHERE it LEADS] has OVERTAKEN you and LAID HOLD ON YOU that is NOT COMMON TO MAN ..."

 

ENDURANCE and STEADFASTNESS

James 1:4 "But LET ENDURANCE AND STEADFASTNESS AND PATIENCE HAVE FULL PLAY and DO a THOROUGH WORK, so that YOU MAY BE [PEOPLE] PERFECTLY and FULLY DEVELOPED [with NO DEFECTS] LACKING in NOTHING.

 

:5 If ANY of you is DEFICIENT in WISDOM, let him ASK of the GIVING GOD [WHO GIVES] to EVERYONE LIBERALLY and UNGRUDGINGLY, without REPROACHING or FAULTFINDING, and IT WILL BE GIVEN HIM.

 

:6  ONLY it MUST BE IN FAITH that he asks with NO WAVERING (no hesitating, no DOUBTING). For the ONE WHO WAVERS (HESITATES, DOUBTS) is LIKE the BILLOWING SURGE OUT AT SEA that is BLOWN HITHER and THITHER and TOSSED by the WIND.

 

:7 For truly, let NOT SUCH a PERSON IMAGINE that HE WILL RECEIVE ANYTHING [HE ASKS for] FROM YAHWEH.

 

:8 [For BEING AS HE IS] a MAN OF TWO MINDS (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] UNSTABLE and UNRELIABLE and UNCERTAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING [he THINKS, FEELS, DECIDES]."

 

RESIST the TEMPTATION with the WORD OF YAH:

When KNOWING the WORD OF YAHWEH - you can be READY when TEMPTATION COMES. When midst in a battle, you can FIGHT with the SWORD OF THE WORD.

 

2 Cor. 10:3 "For though we WALK (LIVE) in the FLESH, we are NOT CARRYING ON OUR WARFARE ACCORDING TO THE FLES and USING MERE HUMAN WEAPONS.

 

:4 For the WEAPONS of OUR WARFARE are NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood] but they ARE MIGHTY BEFORE YAHWEH for the OVERTHROW AND DESTRUCTION OF STRONGHOLDS.

 

:5  ... and we LEAD EVERY THOUGHT and PURPOSE AWAY CAPTIVE INTO THE OBEDIENCE of CHRIST the MESSIAH, the ANOINTED ONE."

 

The BEST WAY to RESIST TEMPTATION is to FLEE FROM IT - but WHEN WE STILL FAIL - we should REPENT and ASK FORGIVENESS IMMEDIATELY by RECOGNIZING the SIN - TURNING AWAY FROM IT COMPLETELY and TURNING TO our HEAVENLY FATHER through YAHSHUA our REDEEMER.

 

1 Cor. 6:18 "SHUN (avoid, turn away) IMMORALITY and ALL SEXUAL LOOSENESS [FLEE FROM IMPURITY in THOUGHT, WORD or DEED]. ANY OTHER SIN which man commits is one OUTSIDE the body, but he WHO COMMITS SEXUAL IMMORALITY SINS AGAINST HIS OWN BODY."

 

1 Cor. 10:14 "Therefore, my dearly beloved, SHUN (KEEP CLEAR AWAY FROM, AVOID BY FLIGHT IF NEED BE) ANY SORT OF IDOLATRY (of LOVING OR VENERATING ANYTHING MORE THAN YAH [God]").

 

1 Tim. 6:9  "But THOSE WHO CRAVE TO BE RICH FALL INTO TEMPTATION and a SNARE and INTO MANY FOOLISH (USELESS, GODLESS) and HURTFUL DESIRES that PLUNGE MEN INTO RUIN and DESTRUCTION and MISERABLE PERISHING.

:10 For the LOVE OF MONEY is A ROOT OF ALL EVILS; it is through this CRAVING that some have been led ASTRAY and have WANDERED FROM the FAITH and PIERCED THEMSELVES through with MANY ACUTE [MENTAL] PANGS (pains; urges).

 

:11 But AS FOR YOU, O MAN OF YAH (GOD), FLEE FROM ALL THESE THINGS; AIM AT and PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS (RIGHT STANDING with YAHWEH and TRUE GOODNESS), GODLINESS (WHICH IS THE LOVING FEAR OF YAH and BEING YAHSHUA-LIKE), FAITH, LOVE, STEADFASTNESS (PATIENCE) and GENTLENESS OF HEART.

 

:12 FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT of the FAITH; LAY HOLD of the ETERNAL LIFE  ...

 

:13 IN THE PRESENCE OF YAHWEH, WHO PRESERVES ALIVE ALL LIVING THINGS, and of MESSIAH YAHSHUA ... [solemnly] charge you

 

:14 To KEEP ALL HIS PRECEPTS UNSULLIED (pure, clean, faultless, unblemished)  and FLAWLESS, IRREPROACHABLE, UNTIL the APPEARING of our MESSIAH, YAHSHUA, the ANOINTED ONE."

 

Abba, please help us through  Yahshua Messiah, to FLEE from ALL SIN - EVERYTHING that IS NOT FROM YOU - TO TURN AWAY from it COMPLETELY and to TURN TO YOU. Help us to KNOW that when SIN IS FULL-GROWN, it gives BIRTH to spiritual DEATH. Help us Abba to WALK our PATH OF FAITH in OBEDIENCE to YOUR WORD so that we CAN BE IN YOUR PRESENCE. Thank You MESSIAH for MAKING a WAY - GIVING US A CHOICE - for YOUR SPIRIT LEADING the WAY. In the name of YAHSHUA - KING of king and MASTER of masters. Amen.

PERILOUS TIMES

 ( Ref. 20422)

​

2 Thess. 2:9-10 “The COMING of the LAWLESS ONE, the ANTICHRIST, is through the ACTIVITY and WORKING of SATAN … And by UNLIMITED SEDUCTION to EVIL and with ALL WICKED DECEPTION of THOSE who are PERISHING because they DID NOT WELCOME the TRUTH but REFUSED to LOVE it that they MIGHT be SAVED.

 

:11 Therefore YAH SENDS UPON them a MISLEADING INFLUENCE, a WORKING of ERROR and a STRONG DELUSION to MAKE THEM BELIEVE what is FALSE. In order that ALL MAY BE JUDGED and CONDEMNED who DID NOT BELIEVE in the TRUTH but instead took PLEASURE in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 

Rev. 3:3 “  … and hold FAST, and REPENT …”

 

2 Peter 3:3-4 “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their OWN LUSTS …”

 

1 Tim. 4:1 “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES of DEVILS …”

 

2 Tim. 3:1-4 “This know also, that in the last days PERILOUS TIMES shall come …”

 

PERILOUS TIMES:

In 2 Timothy Pauls describes the last days … the end-times as PERILOUS meaning DANGEROUS times … UNSAFE …  INSECURE … RISKY … TERRIFYING … SCARY … ALARMING … WORRYING … DREADFUL … SHOCKING … PANICKING etc.

 

We are indeed living in perilous times. Besides the pharmakeia witchcraft potions (vacceens) that were forced on us all with might … for the past two years, the entire world was told that wearing a MASK … COVERING THE FACE … would keep you safe as it  would stop the spread of the C-virus.

 

BREATHING NORMALLY - A NATURAL (God-given) ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY:

During an extensive study, Harvard University has now found that the NATURAL EXCHANGE of carbon dioxide WASTE  for FRESH OXYGEN in the lungs (also known as RESPIRATION) is a POWERFUL ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY that is DIRECTLY INTERFERED with by wearing the masks … putting our bodies at great RISK.

 

OXYGENATING our BLOOD and BOOSTING our IMMUNE FUNCTION:

It was found that the tiny sacs (ALVEOLI) inside our lungs exchanging Carbon Dioxide for OXYGEN with every breath we take – is facilitating the transaction of CO2 exhaled by our bodies … inhaling OXYGEN. It is a process of OXYGENATING our BLOOD and BOOSTING our IMMUNE function.

 

Wearing masks is trapping CO2 INSIDE the LUNGS BLOCKING the INTAKE of OXYGEN creating a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE INSIDE the BODY. This LEAVES the BODY PRONE to INFECTION and DISEASE.

 

400 STUDIES had been done proofing that MASKS PROVIDE NO BENEFIT at ALL and are ACTUALLY HARMFUL. According to these studies … breathing is actually a NATURAL (God-given) ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY.

 

Normal breathing also exercises the lungs … stretching and relaxing it and this natural motion influences both the development and vital function of the lungs which naturally COMBATS INFECTION.

 

SNAKE VENOM USED in PHARMACEUTICAL DEVELOPMENT:

In a shocking revelation from dr. Bryan Ardis … it has been said that SNAKE VENOM is the most likely ORIGIN for RESEARCH into the SARS-CoV-2 GAIN-OF-FUNCTION ENHANCEMENT or C.vd VACCEENES.  Snake venom is COMMONLY USED as the STARTING POINT for pharmaceutical  research and is also used in pesticides and cosmetic by PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS.

 

“VENOMTECH – DRUG DISCOVERY SOLUTIONS”

Venomtech  … a UK company announced their MASSIVE VENOM PEPTIDE and VENOM FRAGMENT LIBRARY to be USED for DRUG  as well as PESTICIDE used for AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES … a GLOBAL LEADER for VENOM RESEARCH enterprises  with world-class laboratories at Discovery Park in Kent, England.

 

“Venomtech is collaborating with Charles River Laboratories, International Inc. to “HELP” drug developers explore VENOM-DERIVED COMPOUNDS for a WIDE RANGE of TARGETS. This newly formed collaboration will bring together Venomtech’s BIOLOGY EXPERTISE and VAST VENOM-DERIVED PEPTIDE library, with Charles River’s drug development and screening KNOWHOW, PROVIDING pharmaceutical manufacturers with a ONE-STOP SERVICE to EXPLORE this UNIQUE ‘NATURAL’ resource.

 

Venomtech’s TARGETED-VENOM DISCOVERY ARRAY (T-VDA) LIBRARIES provide researchers with a straightforward solution to rapidly screen thousands of INDIVIDUAL VENOM FRAGMENTS, with each array specifically designed to maximise HITS for a SPECIFIC TARGET” says their announcement.

 

Venomtech’s CEO Paul Grant: “Venomtech has been at the forefront of venom research for DRUG discovery for more than a DECADE … we can now showcase our innovative technology, introducing the wider industry to the potential of venoms for the successful delivery of more leads, more quickly for a broad range of [CELLULAR] targets.

 

… we can now offer our clients access to bespoke venom libraries, potentially accelerating their drug discovery PIPELINES USING THIS POWERFUL NATURAL RESOURCE.”

 

VenomTech’s own DRUG DISCOVERY PAGE:

“Our naturally derived peptide, protein, and small molecule compounds enable pioneering perspectives and solutions that have proven effective even on hard-to-hit targets where traditional approaches have previously failed. They affect a variety of molecular targets such as ion channels, GPCRs and ENZYMES, with a high degree of selectivity and potency, reaping the benefits of MILLIONS of years of EVOLUTION rather than just over a HUNDRED YEARS of DRUG DISCOVERY.

 

Our customers have access to a library of 20,000 peptides, proteins, and small molecules derived from VENOMS – the largest library of naturally sourced compounds available in the UK – supplied as an innovative Targeted-Venom Discovery Array and custom arrays with a demonstrated record of success … “

 

“We believe the Venomtech company very likely has a very bright future in its industry, by the way. “Biomimicry” means copying nature, and Big Pharma has a long history of pirating molecules from nature and turning them into multi BILLION-DOLLAR PROFIT CENTERS. The best ideas come from nature, of course, even though the FDA and other health regulators claim natural molecules are USELESS and can’t be considered ‘medicine’. Yet Big Pharma gets most of its blockbuster drugs from natural molecules, such as LOVOSTATIN MOLECULES found in RED YEAST RICE (now TURNED INTO HIGH PROFIT STATIN DRUGS).” (from Natural News.)

 

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AGAIN:

The World Health Organization with its serpent logo … a snake AROUND a STAFF that is used widely nowadays by various pharmaceutical organizations … representing the serpent (the devil) … the god of the world (2 Cor. 4:4) … wrapped around a STAFF – representing WORLD DOMINATION

 

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM:

An article published as part of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils (2018) says the following:

“VENOMICS – the SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of VENOM – OFFERS GROUNDBREAKING SOLUTIONS to HEALTH PROBLEMS from heart disease to diabetes, to managing chronic pain.

 

In fact, there are already SIX DRUGS APPROVED for USE by the FOOD and DRUG ADMINISTRATION in the UNITED STATES that are derived from VENOM.

 

But with 15% of the world’s ANIMALS PRODUCING VENOM of SOME KIND, we have really only just begun to scratch the surface of their potential contribution to medicine.

 

Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, a type of drug to treat high blood pressure and improve survival and reduce the risk of heart failure after a heart attach. Its main compound is DERIVED from a SPECIES of PIT VIPER found in Brazil.

 

Prialt, derived from the venom of CONE SNAILS, is used by some of the estimated 22 million ADULTS in the US who SUFFER from SEVERE and CHRONIC PAIN.

 

Byetta is part of a new wave of drugs designed to lower blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. It’s key ingredient, exendin-4, is found in the saliva of the Gila monster, a large lizard species native to the southwestern US and northwestern Mexico.”

 

SYNTHESIZING SNAKE VENOM for MASS PRODUCTION, USING RNA TECHNOLOGY:

The following also from the World Economic Forum’s article:

“One reason for the growing interest in this field is that advances in DNA and RNA TECHNOLOGY allow RESEARCH TO BE CARRIED OUT MUCH FASTER.


For INSTANCE, traditionally, LIVE VENOM would be EXTRACTED from the animal, then INJECTED INTO AN UNSUSPECTING LIVE RODENT or FIST to STUDY its IMPACT.

 

Nowadays, the DNA and RNA of the VENOM have ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED, which ALLOWS researchers to SYNTHESIZE its COMPONENTS and TEST OUT their THEORIES.”

 

NANOCARRIERS CAN STABILIZE SNAKE VENOM PEPTIDES for DELIVERY VIA WATER:

“Venom-derived peptides display diverse biological and pharmacological activities, making them useful in drug discovery platforms and for a wide range of applications in medicine and pharmaceutical biotechnology. Due to their target specificities, venom peptides have the potential to be developed into biopharmaceuticals to treat various health conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic pain. Despite the high potential for drug development, several limitations preclude the direct use of peptides as therapeutics and hamper the process of converting venom peptides into pharmaceuticals. These limitations include, for instance, chemical instability, poor oral absorption, short halflife, and off-target cytotoxicity. One strategy to overcome these disadvantages relies on the formulation of bioactive peptides with nanocarriers. A range of biocompatible materials are now available that can serve as nanocarriers and can improve the bioavailability of therapeutic and venom-derived peptides for clinical and diagnostic application. Examples of isolated venom peptides and crude animal venoms that have been encapsulated and formulated with different types of nanomaterials with promising results are increasingly reported.”
