We’ve all seen claims like this before and amazingly they just kinda disappear into the ether.
As a PCa survivor I have hope this may be the real deal.
Treating cancer will always be an “arms race” against the cancerous cells. Whatever therapy is used it is never 100% effective and those cancer cells that survive are resistant to the latest drug. Also, the cost of autologous (patient donor) T cell therapies is in the millions making it too expensive for most insurance plans today. Allogeneic (stranger donor) therapies that use gene editing to knock out the graph vs. host disease (GVHD) gene and make it possible to create unlimited quantities of universal donor T cells would bring down the costs and time delay in treating cancers but are still years away.
Cancer cells also have evolved to turn off the ability of T cells to mark them for destruction using check point proteins. Recent advances like check point inhibitors have defeated this trick but this can also cause T cells to attack healthy cells leading to autoimmune responses which can be fatal.
Looking for a single silver bullet to defeat an evolving enemy like cancer is probably not going to work without addressing its complex lifecycle.
Lucia Mori and Gennaro De Libero, from University of Basel in Switzerland, said the research had "great potential" but was at too early a stage to say it would work in all cancers. snip...
Daniel Davis, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, said: "At the moment, this is very basic research and not close to actual medicines for patients.
Since I could start to read the news in the mid 70s, I recall cure all cancer treatment articles in the news.
Funny the things you remember
This one sounds legit since I already knew the body eats tumors under the right conditions, such as long term fasts which make the body search out defective cells in order to consume them.
There’s a doctor on YouTube who talked about how fasting healed cancerous abn ou rmal moles on his skin that were confirmed to be deadly. They got red, ugly, then just fell off his body after fasting. He also reported patients who had seen tumors disappear after a long fast.
The body has everything it needs to heal itself. It seems like most of our problems are dietary. High carbs do not encourage this healing and recycling process out bodies undergo when fasting or on a keto diet.
“We’ve all seen claims like this before and amazingly they just kinda disappear into the ether.”
This is fact.
