Excited about this new approach. High hopes it catches on.

But then big pharma won’t be able to make billions of dollars slowly killing people off with their ‘medicine’.

I’m sure this works in some cases as I’ve seen this described in medical journals as an intervention that they can do for a certain types of cancer, but I do know that many cancers are generating and unusual amount of growth serum hormone into the tissues around it, if you clinch off the blood supply to it the blood flow is quickly restored and the cancer will spread much quicker and become even more aggressive and resistant to drugs and cancer Treatments such as radiation. Some of these cancers act like some sort of living creature like a bacteria or a virus or a parasite. It makes many people wonder if there is some kind of underlying mechanism that we just don’t understand well enough to have the problem on, what they found is is if they hit a cancer with multiple interventions stuff that doesn’t work alone will have a devastating Curative effect on the cancer. Example cutting off the blood flow and hitting it with chemo and radiation combined will wipe out many cancers. There are some cancers that do not have major arteries or blood vessels as they are in the systems that do not require this form of blood flow, example leukemia, example small cell lung cancer, Etc

Surgically cutting cancerous lesions or growths leads to an immediate defensive response by the malignant body—which is to eject cancerous cells into the bloodstream and thus cause spread in many other parts of the body.

I hope I am mistaken about this, and I hope you are correct in your understanding, but from what I remember, cancer doesn't work that way.

I have tried to keep up with cancer research for many years, and my recollection is that Dr. Judah Folkman did a great deal of research on this issue.

What I recall from his research is that when you have a large tumor mass, you already have smaller islands of cancer cells spread throughout the body, but their activity is kept under control by chemicals secreted by the main mass which suppress their growth.

Folkman tried to discover the suppression chemical with the idea that he could develop it into a cancer treatment.

My fear is that when you choke off the blood supply feeding the mass, you may still have the same effect you would get from cutting it out. If the main mass is what is keeping the smaller islands of cells in the rest of the body under control, when it dies, that suppression will also cease, and then the other cancer cells elsewhere will start growing.

Again, I hope this isn't the case, but that is what I recall learning years ago.

The most promising methodology i've seen out there is provoking immune responses against the cancer cells. I've read that an Israeli company has been claiming a lot of success using this approach.

Old timers have done this with ingrown feathers on candies and tumors on birds for ages.

It is also a method used to castrate farm animals.

It may be a new approach for tumors, but we castrated calves that way for years. Special pliers to open an extremely heavy rubber band with a tiny opening. Cuts off the circulation, the tissue dies and falls away. No apparent pain after the initial application, and a healthy young steer in about two weeks.
