A few years ago, a patient was cured of multiple myeloma after being treated for hepatitis C. Multiple myeloma is one of the most common cancers of the blood.
The desire to understand how this patient was cured has led to the discovery that hepatitis B and C viruses are one of the causes of multiple myeloma, and eliminating infection with antivirals is often the way to fight this type of cancer.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an excessive proliferation of blood cells that make antibodies (also called immunoglobulins), the proteins that defend the body from infections. In myeloma, a certain antibody is produced continuously and excessively.
The case of the patient who was cured of myeloma after being treated for hepatitis C seems to support this theory. Rodríguez-García conjectured the body was no longer chronically exposed to the hepatitis virus because the antiviral drug eliminated it, and that is why the myeloma disappeared—the cells that make anti-hepatitis C antibodies stopped reproducing in excess.
To investigate whether this had actually happened, two studies were conducted, including 54 patients with monoclonal gammopathy (the pathology that precedes multiple myeloma) and hepatitis: 9 patients with hepatitis C in an initial study and 45 patients with hepatitis B. Most of them found that the antibody they were consistently and excessively producing was indeed targeting the hepatitis virus.
They then went on to analyze a much broader cohort of multiple myeloma patients (>1,300) infected with hepatitis B and hepatitis C (>1,200). In both cohorts, they concluded that in those who received antiviral treatment, "the probability of survival was significantly higher".
The authors say, "In patients infected with the hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus, multiple myeloma or gammopathy may be caused by these viruses, and the study demonstrates the importance of antiviral treatment in these patients."

You may cure yourself of multiple myeloma.

My father-in-law died of this. Exceedingly nasty disease.
Back in the 1980s my biology class was given a fascinating lecture by a fellow student’s father. He was a prominent cancer researcher at MD Anderson. He told us that at the end of the day, we will find out that almost all cancers are caused by viruses. He was way ahead of his time.
Isn’t it the disease blamed on Roundup?
Was there a multibillion lawsuit?
Thank you for posting this. My wife has multiple myeloma, which is eating the bones of her body. Chemo slows it down, but cannot stop it or cure it. It is beyond horrible.
Probably why people taking Ivermectin for Covid also noticed that often cancer was treated, and sometimes was cured totally.
This sounds like legitimate antibodies against a still latent illness are being made.
Since hepatitis being cured fixes some, it seems possible other identifiable latent infections could be identified and treated, with a similar outcome.
There may be some hope, there.
I am saddened for you and your wife, on this.
This has been known for decades.
And if CoupFlu vaxxes impair the immune system...
We’re gonna see a lot more cancer, aren’t we.
Wonder how Deep State will ICD-10 code its way out of that.

Let's hear it for promiscuity!
My younger sister has it ....aggressive and nasty.
Sent that article to her because I don’t believe she’s been checked for hepatitis.
Big Pharma makes more money treating people for things than curing people of things....it’s a racket.
Yay!................
One wonders if multiple myeloma could be a response to chronic infection with hepatitis B and C viruses only or whether other viruses could also cause it.
Miracles continue to occur. When I was a medical student, resident, etc., I prayed for cures. It was selfish in a way because many illnesses, the suffering of many of my patients almost broke my heart. I never forgot. Tears come to my eyes even now as I recall.
Many miracles have happened since then. For example, childhood leukemia was universally fatal then; today the cure rates are very high. I thank God constantly for this miracle alone, but also for all the others.
A sine qua non is the quest for TRUTH, TRUTH for its own sake.
Note tagline.
Interesting
One doc I know says there is a rumor that Hashimotos is virus caused...viruses probably involved in many illnesses
