Well, what do you think about this? Sounds promising.

[Redcloak]

BUMP!

Don't you mean "BAM!"?

[Chena]

Don't you mean "BAM!"?

Bam bam, thank you mam, or sir, for pointing that out. ;)

This isn't a drug

[Paul C. Jesup]

True. And technically speaking, ultrasound technology falls more under FCC regulation than FDA regulation.

[spectre]

"it is critical that we achieve further funding to push the boundaries of this technology into fullscale clinical trials on humans."

Yes, it is.

Thanks for the info and God Bless.

Oh, oh.

Imagine how many jobs that will wipe out and drug companies already opining about patients running out. Looks to easy and INEXPENSIVE. This will NOT go over well in the money hungry medical and pharmaceutical folks. They prefer the status quo and have patients trained on what to expect when this dreaded disease attacks them.

Oops meant patents not patients running out.

Drug companies are having a tough time because of their bets selling patents running out, hence the barrage of drugs on TV to get you excited about destroying your liver and kidneys by just popping a pill.

Ultrasound treatment is NOT a drug.

Dr Campbell said, “Conventional cancer treatment usually requires surgery to cut out the diseased tissues, causing significant trauma, pain and discomfort to the patient, often delaying recovery for an extended period of many months.

Great news if it works out. Much better than the current protocols. Too late for me though. I just finished the surgery and radiation and start chemo Monday (I can hardly wait ;o)).

Supposedly nostradamus predicted that cancer will be cured through the use of pure tones.

Is this going to be one more score for Nostradamus?

The question for cancer still remains --- How do you know that you've sniped every last one of the cancer cells using this technique ?

By analogy, if there are one million terrorists, and you kill 999,000 of them, does that mean you're safe ?

Sure, its better than chemo, where you kill ( to use their word -- snipe ) both the innocent together with the bad guys, but this isn't a cure.

Lets call it an improvement.

Neat stuff. Now if only UV and H₂O₂ therapy could make a few headlines. Prolly not since they actually work and don't put money in the drug companies pockets.

[numberonepal]

Just hope this isn't another one of those "breakthroughs" that is announced, then never heard about again.

No money in the drug companies pockets means you'll probably hear little else of it. However, there will be some real doctors out there that will use it because it works, and not because of any kickbacks. You'll just have to search real hard for them, and they're likely not to be in your HMO/PPO.

There are cancerous cells all throughout your body all the time. Cells mutate, and it's a natural and necessary thing. The trick is for your body to take care of the cancerous cells (it's doing this constantly) in a timely enough manner so that the cancerous cell doesn't become a mass of cancerous growth that encroaches on other bodily assets.

Bump for later

lol, well lets hope they dont have to go through FDA approval and can 'experimenting' on hopeless cases (of course with patients consent) ASAP.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Scientists at the University of Dundee have demonstrated that cancer cells can be targeted and destroyed by a single blast of ultrasound

I like the laser technique better.

bump for blessings!
