Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in The Lab Using Vibrating Molecules

Commentor: “The experiments described all took place in vitro”

Article: “The approach was also tested on mice with melanoma tumors, and half the animals became cancer-free.”

That is correct.

But a cancer cell and a normal cell would have a different ‘resonant frequency’, and you would have to find that frequency by trial and error. Even different parts, cell types, of the body would have a different frequency for the same cancer...........

What?

No TCU or SMU?.................

[foundedonpurpose]

You are correct.

[LTC.Ret]

TCU or SMU?

I believe I recall them from football many, many years ago -— are they still around (wink, wink, grin) . . .

I’m wondering what would keep it from doing havoc to other good cells. I Have 2 ideas:

1. Do cancer cells have a unique molecule they can target at a certain frequency?
2. I know Cancer cells take up sugar faster than normals cells. Is there some special molecule that can be excited that cancer cells would take up (or at higher concentrations) and normal cells would not? Then they can target those cancer cells having that molecule.

I like Heinlein; but I’ve never read that work of his.

Marky Mark- Good Vibrations 🤣

It portrays the aftermath of conquest of the USA by the ‘Pan-Asian’ Empire, i.e. China.........................

This is very interesting to me. We use more laser and light therapy quite successfully in VetMed than I think they do in MdMed -— probably because the drug dollars and insurance money isn’t there yet in VetMed.

Current cancer therapy doesn’t spare the non-cancer cells either -— at least not nearly as much as we would like them to. I am interested in any protocol that can kill cancer better than what we have now.

Boogie your way to a cancer-free life. Shake that thing!

[Red Badger]

I envision a machine like a MRI or CAT that the patient is put on a sliding platform and slowly processed through the machine while being subjected to various frequencies for different cancers to be found in the body, aided by the MRI computer for precise locations of targets.

It would probably take several treatments to eventually emerge cancer free..................

I wonder how that Slim Whitman song from “Mars Attacks” would fare against these cells?

[ought-six]

I’ll check my local library for it. Thanks for the recommendation.

[Dead Corpse]

The article describes using the same dyes used to identify cancer cells to begin with can also be used with the IR source to create the effect.

IR lasers are a well developed technology as are cell marker dyes.

[Red Badger]

That would kill the patient...............

[Macho MAGA Man]

Lol

You might have a point there 😉

I read that book in grade school. Turned me into a huge Heinlein fan.

It's not the cell's resonant frequency, it's the aminocyamine that mostly attaches to cancer cells that they are breaking apart.
