Inventor from Erie, P.A. teams up with leading cancer center.
This humble workspace could soon become the epicenter of one of the most stunning scientific breakthroughs in cancer treatment in years.
Using the Kanzius RF machine and special nanoparticles, it appears that cancer cells can be targeted and killed without harming the rest of the body.
This is a deeply personal mission for John Kanzius. He is struggling to beat leaukemia. And he knows firsthand how tough standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can be on the body.
Kanzius told Channel 3's Mike O'Mara that, "If this ends up working they way it looks, it really could be the holy grail of cancer research."
The entire city of Erie is buzzing about John's invention. Two weekends ago, thousands turned out for a motorcycle rally called "Roar On The Shore". All the money is going to help John's cancer research.
Ralph Pontillo is the head of the Erie Manufacturers Association. He is proud that his city can help the Kanzius project.
"It's amazing, said Ralph, "that in the very near future someone is going to stick a pin on a map and say this is where cancer was cured. And that pin is going to be Erie, Pennsylvania. That blows your mind and that is inconceivable."
Former Erie Mayor, Joyce Savocchio, said "there are nights that I think about it and I can't go to sleep. It just enfolds you that you are on the brink of history and something so enormous that you can't imagine it."
The excitement is not limited to Erie, Pennsylvania. In Houston, Texas at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, a team of scientists believe that John Kanzius has the key to something extraordinary.
MD Anderson is one of the most respected cancer centers in the world. 79 thousand cancer patients were treated at the huge campus in Houston last year.
Doctor Steven Curley is leading the research team at MD Anderson. Dr. Curley is the author of over 110 publications and 30 book chapters, many dealing with the treatment of patients with hepotocellular cancer, gallbladder cancer, bile duct cancer, or liver metastases.
Curley is brimming with cautious optimism.
"If we can come up with ways of delivering these particles to the cancer cells, but not to normal cells," Curley said, "this treatment will work. There's not a doubt in my mind. Any kind of cancer, anywhere in the body!"
Doctor Curley's team is ready to publish their first results using laboratory animals. So far, the targeted nanoparticles and the Kanzius RF machine have passed every test.
"There is a great deal of work that has to be done", said Curley. "However, I suspect once the manuscripts are published, there's going to be a real rush of excitement about this whole process. I've already warned John to get ready because the floodgates are about to open."
Kanzius wants to make sure his invention does not get sidelined by an unsympathetic corporation that might not want see an effective treatment on the market.
Said Kanzius, "venture capitalists, big pharmaceuticals that might want to buy this to tempt me and stop the research, not going to happen. There is no amount of money that can buy me off. You can not put a price on a human life."
When the revolutionary treatment is ready for human clinical trials, you can bet that Erie, Pennsylvania will go to the front of the line. And why not, since the inventor lives just a few miles away.

This will be great if it works.
Appears to be the same guy who claims his radio wave device can produce energy from burning seawater. I’m not optimistic he is solving the energy crisis AND cancer in his basement.
Finally the answer to “Whats the frequency Kenneth ?”
What's the frequency and has the FCC already considered it the property of others? ; )
Best of luck to him--I hope he is successful. We lost our 11 year old nephew a few months ago to leukemia. I pray this guy can eradicate cancer.
His buddy Charlie Rutkowski is also quoted in articles about his energy generating device. Unfortunately, I suspect there is nothing here.
Oh I don't know, for I have been a HAM radio operator for all of my adult life and have worked on multi-band Avionics systems for over 30 years and have never been inflicted with any form of cancer. /snicker.
Riiiiight. Seems like a guy wants a bit of attention. The trick, here, of course, is how to get whatever ‘nanoparticles’ you have to attach themselves to only the cancer cells. If you can do that, there are about 10000 different ways to actually kill them.
There are multitude of research labs working on exactly the problem of marking the cancer cells with a protein sequence and delivering a killing compound attached to it.
A guy that names his machine with his own name, uses RF rays and also comments how the evil corporatists would take his research and hide it to kill people for profit just seems like another sad case of tin foil head.
Also, I ran into an article about Dr. Curley in which he stated radio ablation is limited to small tumors as he has found it doesn't work on larger ones.
I fear you have acase here of a self proclaimed inventor throwing in references to a real doctor even though the two are not connected.
That's the missing link that all of humanity has overlooked in the quest to cure cancer.
I'm sure of it!
Frill's have always been a deadly imposition on life IMO.
“There are multitude of research labs working on exactly the problem of marking the cancer cells with a protein sequence and delivering a killing compound attached to it.”
Yeah, too bad journalists don’t put in their research time anymore. Naomi Halas at Rice University and another group out of Arkansas have been using nanoparticles irradiated with a slightly different frequency to target tumors for quite some time.
One never knows for sure.
I'm going to work on becoming rich in finding a way to fit the population of the Earth into this guys basement!
If I can accomplish that I could be revered as a close imitation to the 2nd coming.
I didn't know there even was an Erie in the Palestinian Authority.
You tote a keen insight Williams. ; )
First, selectively getting (fill in the blank) to only attach to cancer cells is the primary problem, not killing them.
Second, that paranoia that some evil company would buy up the technology and hide it was way, way over the top. As if a thing like that could ever be hidden once discovered or that it would ever make any kind of economic sense to do so...
I also saw a laser zap plaque from heart arteries from the inside as a scope filmed the whole procedure. No balloons, stents, or bypass. Just a clean vein when done. This was many years ago, long enough to be commercial if it was ever going to be. Maybe the zapped area grew a scab, who knows?
Bookmarked - thanks for the post - God bless and keep this man and his work.
He just hasn't learned as of yet the impact that late night "infomercials" could have on his promotion.
Let’s just say, any of these technologies, if they worked, and commercialized, would be worth trillions of dollars.
No ‘evil capitalist’ in their right mind would ever not bring them to market intentionally.
I’m sorry for your loss.
he kinda looks like an extra from the original Star Trek...
C’mon. Think about it. These therapies are all fine and dandy in the lab, but an actual ‘cure’ is something completely different. And, ‘cancer’, is not a single disease, on the contrary, ‘cancer’ is a word for a family of *completely* differently behaving diseases. The underlying premise is the same, cells replicating erroneously without end, but different cells have different mechanisms that go wrong producing a completely different effect and disease behaviour. Hence some cancers are very suitable to existing treatment, and others are a 3 week death sentence.
As I said earlier, curing *any* form of cancer, especially any of the common ones, would be *far* more profitable then current ‘treatment’.
How much would you pay for the cure ? 50k ? 100k ? Everything you had ? How much would you pay for something that may or, most likely, won’t work ?
Bump
ROFL.
Get the Kanzius RF to cure your cancer for just $29.99! And, if you call now, we’ll throw in this surgical knife and mirror in case it doesn’t work for free!
+ Shipping & Handling...
Tree bark...
Just convince the "save the world" crowd. LOL!
“Maybe the zapped area grew a scab, who knows?”
If so that would put the kibosh on that procedure.
Pieces of arterial lesions breaking off and clogging arteries are what causes heart attacks.
This is the same quack who was featured in another article here about turning salt water into fuel.

It will be a real trick to get the nanoparticles inside the cancer cells ony and not the healthy cells. If we could do that, we could just deliver chemo to kill those specific cells and skip the RF device.
In addition, any pharma company would love to have an effective cancer treatment. They would rake in money hand over fist. There is no money to be made on treatments that don’t work and the patients die.
Ask any immunologist and they will tell you that virtually everyone who lives a long life has cancer at lesat several times, but those cancers are killed off by the natural immune system. It is the cancer that is tougher than your immune system that will likely kill you.
This has been around for a long time. The FDA stopped it from being used in the USA...wonder why? ‘Cause it works!!!
Guess what, Republican earmarks funded this (probable) turkey.
The only 100% certain way to destroy cancer = Put the weapon to the head and pull the trigger. I did not have to invent anything to know that.
The wavelength of the laser was supposed to attack the clot and not damage the vessel. As they moved the laser across the plaque, it appeared to have smoke or dust released. They said that was carried away to the kidneys. I always figured the reason they didn't use it here was they blew holes in the artery and had an emergency worse than before. It was supposed to be focused energy to a millimeter or 2.
Why not? Have you seen his basement?
:-)
I know what you mean about there being many different types of cancer but here is the way my feeble understanding of the process works. Iodine has been used as a contrast for x-rays ever since there have been x-rays. The cancer cells absorb the Iodine molecules and when struck by the focused beam at a certain power setting, it destroys the iodine molecule and takes the cancer cell with it. I was told this by someone that worked on the project. I got the long Physicists explanation but that’s what I got from it.
If only it was that easy. Usually if it sounds too good to be true, it is. It’s impossible to target things cell by cell basis with external beams of whatever - there’s always the surrounding tissue that gets damaged, and there’s way to many cells. If you miss a few, people still die.
We need a specific protein based marker that knows how to attach itself to a specific cancer cell. It’s very difficult to do. If simple iodine absorption was a solution we’d have had a cure long time ago. There is no easy answer here, and anyone selling one is looking to profit on fantasies.
So true. The American Cancer Society would not like this cell zapper.
