Yeah. They should work on polio and smallpox first.

plasmapheresis has been looked at
in cancer therapy for decades

Immungenic treatments for cancer
with various activating techniques
have been looked at for >25 years

They frequently show “initial promise” then
fail miserably in the long term

I have little hope for this research...

Thank goodness Al Gore originated this research, being he’s such a busy inventor.

Throw in the AOA as well. Ca is a revenue resource.

Most doctors only follow established "protocols" when treating cancer

This usually goes by the name, "ethical medical practice." Your brother-in-law may have some kind of research position that the line physician doesn't have, which allows wildcat experimentation, but I doubt it. He'd better, though. He is cruising for a series of intimate but unwelcome conversations with a bunch of avaricious John Edwardses. BTW what does he think about laetrile?

Cancer is a wicked and persistent disease that always seems to find a way around treatments. Whatever the treatment the body it is usually only a matter of time until resistance sets in and the treatment is no longer effective. I believe there are some cancers at advance stages that are not treatable by immunological means.

Doctors and pharmaceutical researchers get cancer too.
I guess they must take one for the team to keep the conspiracy going,

However, that cancer cure may not be available under the UK’s National Health System as it is too costly.

“If they’re using live cells there is a theoretical risk of graft-versus-host disease, which can prove fatal.”

A theoretical risk? Maybe it would be a good idea to solve that not-so-little problem before you raise false hopes in millions of people with cancer.

bottom line is, it's all political and most doctors, afraid of the legal system, will only treat their patients with pre-established (and in many cases useless) medical treatments.

I would also add jealously

and the saddest part is that the good and dedicated dr.s like you spoke of - if they dare go against the establishment , can get "punished"
