Cancer Cure? No MSM on it.

Update on Drs Michelakis and Archer's Dichloroacetate (DCA)  - Researchers launch website on new cancer research

To address such concerns, the University of Alberta and the Alberta Cancer Board have created a dedicated website (www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca) in order inform physicians and patients regarding the commitment to initiate clinical trials in the near future and record the progress towards this goal. In addition, in order to address the large number of calls expressing interest to donate funds for this effort, this website will have a user-friendly mechanism to facilitate donations to the University for these efforts. It is important to say that, so far, there is an impressive number of people expressing their wish to contribute with donations; while there is no indication yet of interest from large companies or industries.

 Too sad. Big Pharma has too much money to make sure this inexpensive, effective treatment never sees the light of day.

Another promising cancer fighter. Targeted Nanoparticles/CalTech

A California Institute of Technology (Caltech)-led team of researchers and clinicians has published the first proof that a targeted nanoparticle—used as an experimental therapeutic and injected directly into a patient’s bloodstream—can traffic into tumors, deliver double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and turn off an important cancer gene using a mechanism known as RNA interference (RNAi). Moreover, the team provided the first demonstration that this new type of therapy, infused into the bloodstream, can make its way to human tumors in a dose-dependent fashion—i.e., a higher number of nanoparticles sent into the body leads to a higher number of nanoparticles in the tumor cells.

How long do you think it will take for that technology to become a standard treatment?

Smart bombing cancer Yep full of other war like phrases, such as 'foreign mercenaries' and 'guided missiles'. Wonder if that's cuz Professor Shimon Slavin is from Israel or the interviewer prefers those terms. Beats me.

An email from Harmon Killebrew to the baseball Hall of Fame:
 

"It is with profound sadness that I share with you that my continued
battle with esophagealcancer
is  coming to an end. With the continued love and support of my wife,
Nita, I  have exhausted all options with respect to controlling this
awful disease. My  illness has progressed beyond my doctor's expectation of
cure.

"I have  spent the past decade of my life promoting hospice care
and educating people on  its benefits. I am very comfortable taking this next
step and experiencing the  compassionate care that hospice provides.

"I
am comforted by the fact  that I am surrounded by my family and friends. I thank
you for the outpouring of  concern, prayers and encouragement that you have
shown me. I look forward to  spending my final days in comfort and peace with
Nita by my side."

The quiet man began a charity, in someone else's name, for leukemia research in 1977.

Very moving statement. Comfort and peace is exactly what I wish for him.

Whereas we are currently facing an epidemic of cancer and other diseases whose cause is unknown; and

Whereas a study by McGill University Health Centre has shown that “women living in the areas with the highest levels of [traffic-generated] air pollution were almost twice as likely to develop breast cancer as those living in the least polluted areas”;and

Whereas such studies are almost unheard of in capitalist society, which is reluctant to investigate areas which might interfere with profit.

It should also be noted air pollution may be causing heart attacks and much more deadly than using Cocaine

I'm just updating this thread because my gf who just faced a wee cancer has brought it to the forefront of my mind again.


Virus that can kill breast cancer cell in 7 days? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/09/23/scientists-discover-virus-that-kills-all-types-of-breast-cancer-within-seven-days/


Smart bomb Chemo? http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/sep/12/cancer-drugs-fewer-side-effects


The drug, based on colchicine found in the autumn crocus, cuts off the blood supply to solid tumours, curbing their growth and stopping from spreading to other parts of the body.

That's it so far, getting closer, fingers crossed.

NYT had a story today about vinegar curing cervical cancer in Thailand.

September 26, 2011 Fighting Cervical Cancer With Vinegar and Ingenuity By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr. POYAI,Thailand — Maikaew Panomyai did a little dance coming out of the examination room, switching her hips, waving her fists in the air and crowing, in her limited English: “Everything’s O.K.! Everything’s O.K.!”       
 Translation: The nurse just told me I do not have cervical cancer, and even the little white spot I had treated three years ago is still gone.       
 What allowed the nurse to render that reassuring diagnosis was a remarkably simple, brief and inexpensive procedure, one with the potential to do for poor countries what the Pap smear did for rich ones: end cervical cancer’s reign as the No. 1 cancer killer of women. The magic ingredient? Household vinegar.       
 Every year, more than 250,000 women die of cervical cancer, nearly 85 percent of them in poor and middle-income countries. Decades ago, it killed more American women than any other cancer; now it lags far behind cancers of the lung, breast, colon and skin.       
 Nurses using the new procedure, developed by experts at the Johns Hopkins medical school in the 1990s and endorsed last year by the World Health Organization, brush vinegar on a woman’s cervix. It makes precancerous spots turn white. They can then be immediately frozen off with a metal probe cooled by a tank of carbon dioxide, available from any Coca-Cola bottling plant.       
 The procedure is one of a wide array of inexpensive but effective medical advances being tested in developing countries. New cheap diagnostic and surgical techniques, insecticides, drug regimens and prostheses are already beginning to save lives.
