'It's incredible, like science fiction': How a new wave of immunotherapy is eliminating cancers
BBC ^ | 04/13/2026 | Jamie Ducharme

After nearly 100 years of development, treatments that bolster the body's immune system to fight cancer are coming of age – and saving patients' lives. ---SNIP---

The body has a natural ability to "detect and eliminate cells that look like not-you," explains Karen Knudsen, chief executive of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, a US nonprofit that furthers immunotherapy development. If all is working well, that should include cells that have become cancerous. But sometimes, cancer cells evade or outsmart that system, leading to dangerous unchecked growth. They hide, in plain sight, indistinguishable from the healthy cells around them.

Immunotherapy's goal is to unmask those cancer cells so the immune system can see them for what they are

So, this “sudden new discovery” comes out as we find that simple long standing drugs are curing cancers of all types. What a coincidence!

After all kinds of chemo and surgery, my son went through a NEW immunotherapy treatment. He has been cancer free for over a year. We pray every day that this monster doesn’t return.

My wife had a mastectomy about a year ago. Initially the establishment said the surgery would be sufficient and nothing further would be necessary, then came the bait and switch. They wanted her to take some follow up meds that had some nasty and life-long side effects.

We chose to skip those and do a very strong regimen of natural supplements and immunotherapies under the care of a naturopathic oncologist and an integrative oncologist.

Both are highly qualified, one practices though Johns Hopkins. Certainly not witch doctors.

In addition to a large amount of oral supplements, she boosts her immune system with thrice weekly shots of mistletoe extract. This inflames her system and creates white blood cells throughout the body to help create more immunity.

In addition, she is bombarding her system with weekly infusions of massive doses of Vitamin C. (I think her final infusion is today)

It’s all out of pocket, and while expensive, it’s less than the average car payment. None of it can be patented, so the establishment has no interest in it.

Before Covidiocy, we were pretty ambivalent toward the medical establishment. After, we became viscerally distrustful. The surgery part was good, but the medical side just seems to be cookie cutter treatment of what makes them the most money.

I don’t trust announcements about advances in immunotherapy from companies that sell immunotherapy.

Almost as if by knowing a cancer treatment could be marketed to humanity, it make good business sense to induce a whole lot of cancer into the population

A very close friend was diagnosed with bladder cancer in April, 2022. He was 68 and fit as a fiddle…..he was a high school and college basketball referee. He was put on an immunotherapy regimen then in June he learned the cancer had spread to his liver. In December it spread to his brain. In January he was gone.
Of course all this started within six weeks of his getting the covid ‘vaccine’. I tried to talk to him about not getting it. Sadly, his very liberal family’s words were stronger than mine. Miss ya Buddy! 😪

My best friend’s father in law has had a similar experience with immunotherapy treatment and it’s practically a miracle.

Prayers for continued good health for your son.

Mrrs. BBB333 just had her 5 - year PET scan she has no active cancers (after her BIG melanoma surgery in 2021 they found a lymphoma strain in some lymph glands) her immunotherapy was successful.

We do follow the fenbendazole protocol with some ivermectin as well.

Her oncologist is surprised she is doing so well...

Best to you and your son!

Doctor: "Is the patient fully anesthetized?"

Nurse: "Yes, Doctor."

Doctor: "Good, fetch the horse de-wormer."

Similar results for my brother. He died in 2024. Perfectly healthy until the Covid jabs.

If factual, I’m amazed this treatment was developed during my lifetime...!

Shall we ask you again when you get a cancer diagnosis?

These Pet scans have been a blessing. My son has now had 5 clean scans i.e., no hot spots.

We just keep praying.

After several surgeries I was offered chemo or immunology, I opted for the latter. I went through the first three tiers of treatment using BCG and I am now three years cancer free. Best decision I ever made.
