Man Builds His Own Machine to Battle Cancer

@theblue

when I watch 60 minutes this last sunday, the article ended with the doctor who promised to continue his work saying it didn’t look likely to work.

You are obviously confused. He said it didn’t work WITHOUT the nanomolecular gold metal particles. He also said that research was moving ahead to start testing on animals and was hoping for human testing in 2-4 years.

I watched it on Sunday.

All that is Man, worthy?

Too bad his machine, as he used it did not work and he died. Over all looks very promising and seam like a simple straight forward way to kill cancer cells. I’m surprised no one has thought of this before.

seam? lol nyspeed is on a roll tonight

[Karter]

YES, all that is man worthy

Wow. Very impressive. I’m surprised it hasn’t been thought of before either too…

Nobel prize in the making that’s for sure. Its a shame it was too late for John

I didn’t really get a good listen to when they were talking about the petri dish results whether the nano particles where actuallys bonding the gold to the cancer cells or if they were manually injected.

anyone catch what they said? I don’t have time to watch it again

a real downer would be finding out that it will bond to bone cells, nerve cells or something like that. could make a very very dangerous situation

Hmm. From my understanding researchers can bind nanoparticles to cancerous cells with a very high degree of accuracy. I know one of my professors has research in this area for imaging, but many people are exploring this type of thing.

I believe this part is confusing theblue

@60 minutes"

So far, the Kanzius method has only been applied to solid, localized tumors in animals. The ultimate goal is to treat cancer that has metastasized or spread to other parts of the body. Those undetectable rogue cells are what most often kill people with cancer and the trick is finding them.

“If we can’t target the microscopic cells this is not going to be a cure,” Curley said.

That’s why Curley is trying to use special molecules that are programmed to target cancer cells and attach nanoparticles to them.

I remember last year I read an article where a previously sceptical (of this inventor/treatment) Nobel Prize winning cancer researcher said that this has the potential to be the final cure for cancer.

Just waiting on the chemists to attach the gold / silver nanoparticles to the marker (dye) the last time I read about it.

greenbull… yeah, that’s it, but seeing it in writing does make it sound a hair more positive.

Cancer is a bitch.
The devil is in the details. There are hundreds of types so the likelihood of a single cure would be difficult. I should not say cure… Doctors do not cure anything, they treat it.
