I wonder how many dollars are wrapped up in non profit groups in theory raising money to eliminate cancer? Pharmaceuticals? Cancer hospitals?

Awesome if it pans out.

Angela Zhang - will you marry me?

There! I said it first!

This can’t be. She attends one of those crappy public high schools and we are told they are all worthless. /S

Hopefully Stanford (or some other school above the city college level) will give her a pass and not admit a couple of dozen "protected minorities" before considering her application for admission.

(Or, maybe she can go out of state.)

Another “Invention” that makes you go, well why didn’t anyone try that before?

Seems quite simple when it’s explained.

Angela's idea was to mix cancer medicine in a polymer that would attach to nanoparticles -- nanoparticles that would then attach to cancer cells and show up on an MRI. so doctors could see exactly where the tumors are. Then she thought shat if you aimed an infrared light at the tumors to melt the polymer and release the medicine, thus killing the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely unharmed.

Pretty anazing stuff!

When (hopefully this is it) a cure “gets out”, i.e., can’t be smothered by the “industry”, it will pop a large part of the healthcare bubble.

Which is why it is extremely foolish to have 25% of GDP be comprised of healthcare.

This has been the dream of decades; how to find a way to deliver those nasty chemotherapy poisons exclusively to the tumors on the cellular level. So it has finally been cracked.

Now the problem is all those Lefty Luddites for whom “nanoparticles” are the new DDT.

I know it’s cynical, but I expect 2 or 3 weeks we’ll rad she’s being sud by the AMA, facing charges by California by a whole slew of charges from Practicing Medicine without a License to Animal cruelty, and the IRS is auditing her and family.

The answers to the most difficult questions can be found in the most unlikely of places.

A great accomplishment for someone her age regardless. Her idea is similar to that developed by another audodidact, John Kanzius, who came up with the idea of delivering metallic nanoparticles rather than cancer drugs directly to tumor sites, and then using RF energy to destroy them without damaging nearby tissues. His method is now going into clinical testing:

Brilliant minds don’t need massive governmental programs, they just need the freedom to explore and create.

"I think it was more of a -- 'This is really cool, I want to see if it works' -- type thing," she said.

"And when you found out it did..." asked Hartman.

"That was pretty amazing."

It'll take years to know if it works in humans -- but in mice -- the tumors almost completely disappeared."

Well, that seals it. This cancer treatment will never see the light of day. Wouldn't want to endanger all those billions in cancer research grants, or inhibit the sickness industry in any way.

Priorities, you know...

I don’t know what the chemicals are, but I sure how the reaction doesn’t release any CO2 particles... California will immediately tag it with a per-molecule cap and trade carbon tax
