Try to put the other guys claims out of your mind and look at the research. This has already received FDA approval after clinical trials I and II, not an easy accomplishment.
Using RF to heat a targeted area is nothing new, unfortunately. Seems he has his "battles with the government patent office" going on as well, and has begun holding seminars to atract suckers- er I mean investors.
Kanzius was a former broadcast executive and claimed engineer.
I smell scam.
LOL! I really did laugh out loud. That little "if," far from being a trivial problem, has already exhausted billions of dollars of research.
Ladies and gentlemen, hang on to your purses and wallets. My scam-o-meter is pegged.
MD Anderson is one of the cancer capitals of the world. If they are interested, that's good enough for me.
Kanzius isn't connected at all as far as I can see. Other than maybe some name dropping to sell his frequency generator, and no doubt some magic liquid to go along with it so victims can treat themselves at home.
I need to dig deeper to be sure however, there are 4 patent applications to read through, and dozens of search results to see what this guy is really up to.
I hope the team is successful. I was treated with radiation after my lumpectomy. Unfortunately, “the cure was worse than the disease”. I developed an angiosarcoma due to the radiation and had to have my breast removed last month. Can’t fault the doctors since that was the accepted method of treatment.
In fact Doctor Steven Curley leading the research team at MD Anderson began his first trials 8 years ago. Nothing to do whatsoever with those other guys. I think they are using this Docs work to sell their magic machine, or rather sell “investment opportunities”
Radio Frequencies, Magnetic Pulsing, and various other electronic devises have had success in treating and killing cancer cells. Wishing all the best to this endeavor! Pray that conventional medicine will some day embrace approaches other than the cut, poison, burn protocols that are the norm.
It is well to remember this: Chemo cures cancer and the earth is flat.
This is likely a dumb question:
If you kill the cancer cells, do you stop whatever is causing them to be created, or more to be created?
Could it be that the nanoparticles are containers for the chemo agent, and that the RF energy opens up the nanoparticles? Focus the RF energy at the cancer site and deliver the dose only to the bad cells.
God Bless 'em and hurry!
Doesn't Al Gore & Global Warming just fit nicely with that?
"Wasn’t there someone recently who was trying to do the same thing and found the salt water can burn?"
It was the same guy with the same 'invention'.
From that article:
"John Kanzius discovered that his radio frequency generator could release the oxygen and hydrogen from saltwater and create an incredibly intense flame."
I think you have a very good take on things. I was skeptical myself, but it certainly sounds as if some highly credentialed professionals in the field are more than interested.
Like you, I would like to know more as this is very interesting. He seems to be determined to do this on his own so that may explain the lack of details. The article speaks in terms of “if it is possible”, but I think there is more to it and he may have perhaps dialed into efficacious RF and nano particles already.
If he hasn’t, then I just can’t see the optimism and excitement this has generated at one of the most prodigious Centers in the USA and perhaps the world. You have to think the best in the field at the University of Texas would have been more skeptical than we are at first. So, that may be a good indicator that he is on to something big. Let’s hope and pray.
Read the book, "The Body Electric", to see how many of the low-level functions of cells, bactreria, viruses, etc., in the body DO use electrical signals...
You just kill existing cancer cells. That means they won't multiply and become exponentially more cancer cells, which is what tumor growth is about.
Of course you don't stop normal cells from turning into cancer cells at some point. Because even if they are able to "tag" cancer cells, they likely wouldn't be able to tag "normal cells that are gonna turn into cancer cells a year from now". So no, cancer could presumably always come back. But one might hope that, 99.9% of the original cancer having been swept away, your body's immune system - and perhaps more RF treatments - would suffice in controlling what remains and what shows up later.

Yes, cruel and foolish both.
