Thanks for sharing.

May's Scientific American reported on huge breakthroughs with melanoma also using immunotherapy. I'd link it but I don't know how.

Has to be done in the body or box of the message, not the title or first sentences. Hope that helps.

I have the hard copy of the article but will see if it's online.

He noted in his own patients (as Louis Pasteur had also noted) that certain cancers were cured when the patient caught an unrelated infection and the body's immune system ramped up to fight that bug along with the cancer. He began giving his cancer patients infections and claimed promising results. Supposedly with the advent of radiation therapy and cancer surgery at the beginning of the 20th century, his immunotherapy procedures came into disfavor. Now it seems like they may be expanded into a major treatment of the future, not only for cancer but for many diseases from allergies to Alzheimer. It kind of reminds me of the new wave of EECP therapy that is combating heart disease and arterial blockages without angioplasties, stents, or bypass surgery. EECP was developed in the 1960s by U.S. researchers but was never perfected. It was disfavored by heart specialists when catheters and angiograms came into vogue. It was rediscovered by the Chinese as a way to relieve angina or chest pain in cardiac patients without surgery or catheterization who perfected it with high-tech computer technology and reintroduced it into the U.S. just a few years ago. Now, it's becoming the treatment of choice for the elderly who can't take the risk of total kidney failure that comes from an angiogram and the harsh dye they have to inject into the arteries.

The doctor as a plumber or a tree surgeon routine is too much for many to survive. Are these gene therapies? TIA.

She's 94 years old and was told she couldn't undergo an angiogram and stent for a blocked artery because of the danger. Her cardiologist says she can have almost the same result with EECP therapy with none of the danger. It's a completely accepted therapy and medicare pays for all 35 treatments in the first round. Few doctors are aware of it because the Chinese (a Chinese research student at SUNY) only recently brought it over. It consists of lying on a bed while being hooked up in an echocardiogram set-up with wires to a computer. On the bed, inflatable cuffs are placed around the buttocks and waist, the thighs, and the shins. The cuffs inflate and squeeze the blood vessels when the heart goes into diastole as monitored by the computer, forcing blood into the heart. The blood creates new avenues to travel to the heart, completely bypassing the blocked arteries. It takes at least 35 to 70 sessions to see good results according to my mom's doctor.

I am just now reading a book about the laetrile studies in the 70's. Coley's daughter, as part of an agreement with Sloan Kettering, received an apology for their smearing of Dr. Coley and a board position so she could counter the obstructions to new therapies that did not have the stamp of approval from big pharma.

I have to have a test for cervical cancer in a couple weeks....
