SYDNEY: Treating tumours with Salmonella bacteria induces an immune response that effectively kills cancer cells, Italian scientists announced.
This research could lead to that holy grail of modern medicine: a cure for cancer.
“We demonstrated that it is possible … to generate immunotherapy protocols that are effective in controlling the growth of established tumours or in vaccinating against tumours,” said co-author Maria Rescigno of the study published in Science Translational Medicine.
Invisible cancer cells
The body’s natural immune responses are often able to detect and destroy early cancer cells. But as tumour cells progress and proliferate, they can become invisible to immune cells.
Salmonella bacteria cause illnesses such as typhoid fever and the food-bourn disease salmonellosis. Since their discovery they have generally been reviled by humanity, but that may be about to change.
A team of Italian scientists have demonstrated that an injection of Salmonella bacteria into tumours can render them ‘visible’ again.

“There are several strains [of Salmonella] that … don’t cause disease and can be safely used in humans,” Rescigno reported. “In fact, we already have a protocol in melanoma patients in which we inject Salmonella directly [into] the tumour.”

That line would at least be laughable were it not for the medical establishment’s maniacal attempts to outlaw the many powerful and successful cancer cures that are out there, that they refuse to allow, lest their bottom line be reduced.

You are very welcome. Thanks for your link.
This is actually NOT a new idea. In the early 1900s, one treatment for syphillis was infection with malaria. The fever was supposed to kill the syphillitic infection, and then malaria could be treated with quinine.

Thank you so much for sharing your insight, dear sister in Christ!
