Report Gives Hope To Fla. Man's Cancer Killing Machine
WPBF-TV ^ | November 2, 2007

Posted on 11/04/2007 7:58:19 AM PST by Zakeet

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - New research reports posted on the American Cancer Society's Web site late Tuesday suggest that a Florida man with no medical training may have invented a machine that could lead to a cure for cancer. "It gives me goose bumps that there might be a better way to do this and it looks like it's happening," said John Kanzius, inventor of the machine.

Kanzius, 63, is a former broadcast executive from Pennsylvania who wondered if his background in physics and radio could come in handy in treating the disease from which he suffers himself.

Created in his Sanibel Island, Fla., garage, Kanzius' contraption kills cancer cells using non-invasive radio waves, WPBF News 25 reported.

Kanzius explained that the science of his machine uses a solution filled with nanoparticles, each of which measure no more than one-billionth of a meter. A test subject would be injected with either gold or carbon nanoparticles, which would make their way through the body and attach to the cancerous cells. The test subject would then enter the machine and receive a dose of radio frequency waves, theoretically heating and killing the cancerous cells in moments and leaving nearby cells untouched.

In a recent experiment using his invention, scientists at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, received some promising results.

According to a report due to be released in Decemeber in the American Cancer Society's Journal, Cancer, during the experiment, six rabbits with liver tumors were injected with a nanoparticle solution and placed inside Kanzius' radio-frequency machine. Two minutes later, the tumors were completely gone and there was no major damage to the surrounding healthy cells, according to the report.

I may be a bit cynical.....alright, I’m a LOT cynical...but I would think if there is promise to this system, the American Cancer Society would be hesitant to let it ruin the lucrative little setup they have going.

Why do the nanoparticles attach preferentially to the tumors vs. healthy cells?

It doesn't say in the article, but they may be tagged with antibodies that recognize proteins only found in the tumor cells.

There is no carburetor Kemosabe, none at all, that will allow an internal combustion engine to run on water.. No such thing whatsoever.. 100mpg carburetor, OTOH, is a viable working concept.... Just gotta change the fuel atomization rate by preheating the gasoline and adjusting the jets..

Yeah, but if this guy follows the "post-it note" model...he'll get his machine duplicated and in use by those of influence that will tell their stories.

Then, a "buzz" will be created, and reported on.

Then, he can sell it to those in a financial position to buy.

Then, the Dems will cry, "It should be available for EVERYone...not just the wealthy," and THEN, you just pulled an end-around on the Dems and we got our wish!

The post-it note invention was poo poo'd by those in charge, so the inventor provided some to the secretaries in the office...they loved them, and started requisitioning them. This created enough buzz for management to start asking questions, and my father was part of the original sales team for the test market. He told VIPs to sell the farm and invest in post-it notes, because they were soooooooo well received in the market place that 3M would soar in revenues. The 'ol end-around worked...the only bad thing is, I believe the man only received $1 for his invention...the going price for an invention invented while working at a company. Bummer, huh?

Good for you. Be strong...keep fighting.

Stick and move, keep your left up and bring the right hand thunder if dat bum comes at ya again.

it doesn't matter when it was invented/discovered to be incredibly effective - do you really think the AMA is going to let anything so effective and so much less expensive to dry up the lucrative field of cancer?

It wont happen until another illness is prevalent and it's treatment as expensive, comes along...

They remember what happened to all those careers, hospitals, etc, when TB and polio were licked....

See my post 24. It’s a shame to have to shame people in charge to do the right thing, but the Dems run the “feelings” in this country and if we can shame them into doing the right thing...they can bring the FDA and AMA along with them...I think it’s possible. The public outcry would make them do the right thing. Okay, I’m an optimist, but we’ve got to to TRY!

You sound like you have the right stuff to KEEP standing - and that is the most effective ‘treatment’ -

Really, really smart nanoparticles, I guess.

Maybe he’ll take it to a foreign country and actually win.

This guy must have found certain properties that only cancer cells have—that don’t change, even when they mutate, and then found the element(s) that are attracted to those properties. Then, the radio waves cause those molecules to move back and forth quickly (which I believe is the same action that causes heat or cold) and you have his success.

me TOO...

‘kills cancer cells using non-invasive radio waves’

here’s a tip :

If mr Kanzius wants an extra powerful RADIO WAVE KILLER he should try radio waves from AIR AMERICA..heck they’d kill anything....! shoot they are even killin themselves ..most of their outlets have dried up lets hope for the same w/cancer cells.....

M.D. Anderson is one of the best cancer hospitals in the world.

Why would they do that, and how would they know?

I think there is a temperature difference between normal cells and cancer cells. Perhaps the nanoparticles are attracted to the elevated temp.

"This technique was inveted by Dr. John Holt of Australia over thirty years ago. Either this guy doesn't know about the prior art, or he does know and is ripping off Dr. Holt's work"

Actually, if you read both, they do not appear to be even remotely similar.

They did both get the same result, which is wide skepticism. Rightly so, IMHO.

Why do the nanoparticles attach preferentially to the tumors vs. healthy cells?

Here's one way it might work. You make arrays of millions of different antibodies on silicon and put the chip in a solution of cultured cancer cells. Do the same with cultured non-cancer cells. Coat the nanoparticles with the antibodies the cancers cells stuck to preferentially compared to the non-cancer cells.
