'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

Most in my age-demographic die with cancer, not from cancer.

To bad the VAX is causing a 300% up swing in new cancers among young adults,

And once again, a reminder of the CoVID 'spike', nanoscopic in size, transmitted from eyes, ears, noses, skin flakes, .... you get the picture.

My daughter had cancer in 7 locations which began within 3 months of a check. They gave her 7 months of health. 6 months later, all tumors are gone and she has been tumor free for 8 months. She supplements her cancer treatment with good nutrition, good vitamins and Ivermecton-Fenben. No she hasn’t told her doctor for fear they would cut her off. She is doing well raising three sons alone and working full time. She lost her husband to throat cancer 3 months after he diagnosis. Healthy people, but both took the clot shot. I don’t know what to think of it. The shots were for a cruise with the children.

it would seem anti-virals are the trick to curing many, if not most, cancers

Folks,

Remember everyone of us is unique, in our genetics, history, diet, work environment, etc.

Repeat, each of us is unique, fingerprint, etc. amazing.

So, our response to external stimuli is also unique. What works for one may not work for another. I believe even the covid shot was beneficial for some.

But which treatment is best for YOU? That is the tough question.

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

Exactly. The jig is about up. People are curing their own cancers without doctors, or rather, despite doctors. In order to hide how worthless they've been and maintain their small-g god titles, now they'll push immunotherapy drugs so they can claim their therapy is responsible for the historically significant statistical wave being generated by fenbendazole, artemisinin, and ivermectin. Ten years from now they don't want a retrospective analysis showing mere peasants were more able to cure cancer than they have been for decades prior.

I worked for 25 years at one of Harvard Medical School’s large teaching hospitals. While there I was lucky enough to rub shoulders with top medical researchers. I’d love to be there today to find out what’s happening at the cutting edge of medical research.

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

They’ve likely known this for years and kept it hidden since their goal is to make money, lots and lots of money; not cure people.
Cured people don’t need obscenely high-priced drugs, medicines and treatments for the remainder of their lives.
They basically use people with diseases as “cash cows” until they die.
There are some folks in this world that really do deserve to be hanged....Fauxi would be a good start.

I had a friend whose wife got cancer in the 1990s. They tried immunotherapy on her. Didn't work. She died.

As I was told at the time, immunotherapy resulted from AIDS research, which sought ways to strengthen the immune system (something that AIDS destroyed).

i wonder if it would be bad though for people with compromised immune systems where their bodies get attacked by their immune systems?

It's not a sudden new discovery.

The most important question is

What are its effects on longevity?

Note that the body accumulates retinol and one shouldn’t take it because foods have enough.

He..he..Blackdog gonna be Blackdog. The odds, momentum, and overall conditions seem to be in my favor. Being wrong is also my burden, nobody else’s. I’ve more than prepared and provided for the worst as it would impact those around me.

I am the inventor of two patents in cancer immunotherapy that have not been fully used yet.

I take a chemotherapy drug, that inhibits metastisis, and causes adrenal insufficiency. It is Abiraterone, used in prostate cancer and it is not called an immunotherapy drug.
