This sounds interesting up to the point where once the cancer is gone, they eliminate the remaining salmonella with antibiotics.
This may not be a good idea. To start with, as long as the salmonella remains under control, hopefully it will continue to destroy any returning cancer. And cancer can be pretty sneaky.
When cancer is attacked, often it will try and adjust itself to defend against the attack. For this reason, there is a “rule of 3” for cancer, to try and use three different attacks at once, to overwhelm its defenses.
Plus, the underlying circumstances that allowed the cancer to emerge in the first place might still exist. So once cancer free, a new cancer will emerge to take its place, sooner or later.
Yet another situation is that human intestinal flora includes from 300-1000 different types of bacteria, of which 30-40 different types take up 99% of the space. Many of the larger group are pathogenic, but are kept under control by the dominant strains, by literally being denied the space to reproduce.
In addition, there are a truly vast number of viruses in the flora, the majority of which are “bacteriophage”, or bacteria eating. So we’re talking about a very complex environment, here.
More and more doctors are seeing antibiotic resistant bacteria. And these are not “out there”, but already living inside our intestines.
When we take a potent antibiotic, it wipes out a lot of our normal strains of bacteria, leaving a lot of empty space. And though normally, an antibiotic resistant bacteria is harmless, because it can occupy all this now empty space, it has a population explosion.
Which can be very, very bad.
So to wipe out this salmonella, which may be keeping the cancer away, you risk getting a horrible infection because of the antibiotics.
I always knew Sam and Ella would amount to something someday..
Perhaps we should invest more in using radio frequencies to cure diseases.
