Unlikely Cancer Cures Receiving Attention


Posted on Dec 21, 2011

Two potential cancer cures from unlikely sources, both utilizing unique methods, are making news this month.

Israeli scientists are working on 'cluster bombing' tumors with radiation from within. Tests have been promising.

The researchers inject tumors with alpha particles, which emit short-range radiation. As each successive cell is irradiated, the radiation then expands with greater range. This is the 'cluster bomb' effect. After about ten days, the tumor is eliminated.

The waste results are also promising. All alpha particles eventually disintegrate. Only non-radioactive and non-toxic traces of lead remain. The wire implant, which is left from the original injection, also decays without problem.

Most exciting, perhaps, is the rate of recurrence. Researchers used mice for their trials. One group of mice had their tumors removed manually while the second group was treated with this cluster-bomb radiation. Tumor cells were then reinjected into both groups. The first group's rate of recurrence was 100%, while the second group's rate was only 50%, suggesting an immunizing quality.

Tel Aviv scientists have had success with lung, pancreatic, colon, breast, and brain cancers, and are looking to begin clinical trials soon.

A wholly different procedure is being developed across the United States. This procedure involves attaching gold nanoparticles to cancer cells and having them induct external microwave radiation to kill the tumor. The technique was developed by John Kanzius, a cancer victim, who had had a fascination with radio waves all his life. Preliminary tests have also been extremely promising. Just this week, manufacturers have unveiled large machines for tests with larger animals.
