It just seems silly to me that there could be a “one size fits all” cure, when there are so many variants of cancer. Which specific cancer does this target.
My question is just a musing and not really aimed at you, Red Badger.
The basis for the movie I am Legend...
Meanwhile Palestine gives us incoming rockets, suicide bombers, flaming kites and flotillas.
Still, American liberal Jews vote Democrat, putting them in a category for mental illness.
From the article,”The MuTaTo cancer treatment will eventually be personalized. Each patient will provide a piece of his biopsy to the lab, which would then analyze it to know which receptors are overexpressed. The individual would then be administered exactly the molecule cocktail needed to cure his disease.”
Let us say a prayer for these researchers.
Aridor, chairman of the board of AEBi and CEO Dr. Ilan Morad, say their treatment, which they call MuTaTo (multi-target toxin)
...
Some say MuTayTo, some say MuTahTo.
“Pretty sure they meant the treatment will last a few weeks.”
Ahhh... That would make sense..
Anyhow, after my bout with cancer in 2014, I would like to be hopeful about this. We shall see...
Hell, now we can’t even depend on cancer to get rid of career politicians and corrupt judges.
Didnt like the generalizations given...sounds like a stock market hype talk
..cells have many biochemical pathways to survive...tumor cells mutate vociferously since their control mechanisms are not working correctly...on a genetic level...debulkimg the tumor load if possible is first(surgery or electroporation)....then blasting all cells with chemo for initial cancer load reduction
.then you can go after specific surviving cancer cells...using dna/rna oligo anti sense nucleotides...vaccines...monoclonal antibodies..immunotherapy(augmented) or additive...programmed death ligand inhibitors...and by then maybe by the technique touted...by then tumor load is probably at background levels....there are other.method being studied...probably best to do dna and epigenetic sequencing of tumor cells and develop specific inhibitors of mutant.processes being expressed. Just sayin’
In a way, cancer is part of aging. If you cure cancer will it also stop aging?
And lots of experiments to confirm nasty Mo’s belief that well water couldn’t be contaminated.
What the article said is that the cancer would be analyzed and three peptides (targets) would be selected from a large library and used to treat your specific cancer. The proposed treatment is very customizable.
My concern is that the treatment has only been demonstrated in mice who have been infected with human cancers. As a scientist, this gives me several questions. I’m not going to go into all of them (unless someone asks).
Poptarts are still Poptarts, though.
If true, which I hope it is, that’s going to put a LOT of people out of business.
Just part of their world domination plan. First the banks, now the healthcare.

They talk specifically about that in the article.
*cough*
Thank you for the fuller explanation. And, exDem, the article seems to me to be a general “whoppee” and so it cannot address all the issues. But you, both, did help with my understanding.
I think they mean the course of treatment duration.
Dubious slogan, though it's catchy.
Don't all claims require the same evidentiary standards ?
Doesn't the slogan betray a bias against --- well, proof? As in, you come up with proof and some guy says, "Well, proof is not enough?"
I'm open to argument, but you gotta have...um...sufficient grounds...
They still haven't found a cure for the common cold. So there's that.
