Inventor from Erie, P.A. teams up with leading cancer center. The work has been quietly been going on for the last three years in a no-frills laboratory in Erie, Pennsylvania. Inventor, John Kanzius, working with Jim and Charlie Rutkowski, have been perfecting a device that will kill cancer cells with a radio frequency.
This humble workspace could soon become the epicenter of one of the most stunning scientific breakthroughs in cancer treatment in years.
Using the Kanzius RF machine and special nanoparticles, it appears that cancer cells can be targeted and killed without harming the rest of the body.
This is a deeply personal mission for John Kanzius. He is struggling to beat leaukemia. And he knows firsthand how tough standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can be on the body.
Kanzius told Channel 3's Mike O'Mara that, "If this ends up working they way it looks, it really could be the holy grail of cancer research."
The entire city of Erie is buzzing about John's invention. Two weekends ago, thousands turned out for a motorcycle rally called "Roar On The Shore". All the money is going to help John's cancer research.
Ralph Pontillo is the head of the Erie Manufacturers Association. He is proud that his city can help the Kanzius project.
"It's amazing, said Ralph, "that in the very near future someone is going to stick a pin on a map and say this is where cancer was cured. And that pin is going to be Erie, Pennsylvania. That blows your mind and that is inconceivable."
Former Erie Mayor, Joyce Savocchio, said "there are nights that I think about it and I can't go to sleep. It just enfolds you that you are on the brink of history and something so enormous that you can't imagine it."
The excitement is not limited to Erie, Pennsylvania. In Houston, Texas at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, a team of scientists believe that John Kanzius has the key to something extraordinary.
MD Anderson is one of the most respected cancer centers in the world. 79 thousand cancer patients were treated at the huge campus in Houston last year.
Doctor Steven Curley is leading the research team at MD Anderson. Dr. Curley is the author of over 110 publications and 30 book chapters, many dealing with the treatment of patients with hepotocellular cancer, gallbladder cancer, bile duct cancer, or liver metastases.
Curley is brimming with cautious optimism.
"If we can come up with ways of delivering these particles to the cancer cells, but not to normal cells," Curley said, "this treatment will work. There's not a doubt in my mind. Any kind of cancer, anywhere in the body!"
Doctor Curley's team is ready to publish their first results using laboratory animals. So far, the targeted nanoparticles and the Kanzius RF machine have passed every test.
"There is a great deal of work that has to be done", said Curley. "However, I suspect once the manuscripts are published, there's going to be a real rush of excitement about this whole process. I've already warned John to get ready because the floodgates are about to open."
Kanzius wants to make sure his invention does not get sidelined by an unsympathetic corporation that might not want see an effective treatment on the market.
Said Kanzius, "venture capitalists, big pharmaceuticals that might want to buy this to tempt me and stop the research, not going to happen. There is no amount of money that can buy me off. You can not put a price on a human life."
When the revolutionary treatment is ready for human clinical trials, you can bet that Erie, Pennsylvania will go to the front of the line. And why not, since the inventor lives just a few miles away.
Here’s how you do it. You induce mass hysteria. Sleepless mayors, excited chambers of commerce, big motorcycle rallies, stir up into a froth hope and local pride. All the mass support convinces the cancer cells they are dead.

If MD Anderson is interested there must be something to it.

If people from M.D. Anderson are excited, it may be the real deal.
“John Kanzius, a former broadcast executive from Pennsylvania, attracted media attention in 2007 upon claims to having developed a way to produce energy by burning saltwater, by means of a radio frequency generator that releases the oxygen and hydrogen from saltwater and create an intense flame. Skeptics propose that the process would consume more energy than it would create, and Kanzius has admitted that this is currently the case, however the specifics of the process are still unreleased while Kanzius applies for a patent.[1] He states that the discovery was accidental while researching the use of radio waves for the treatment of cancer.[2]
Kanzius owns a patent for an Enhanced Systems and Methods for RF-Induced Hyperthermia[3] which describes potential medical uses of radio waves for diseases such as cancer.”

A likely fraud.
Okay - this is the best I can do. Pretend I have a company that has developed technology that will zap cancer cells via laser lights that actually can be directly internally (this is a lame simplistic scenario, but I just want to give the gist). Imagine I have had several investors put millions into my company and the research I have done. Now, when I start selling my techniques, and the machines that perform the procedures, my investors (and me and my company) will become very wealthy.... but along comes Mr. Inventor from Erie, PA and he has just developed a radiofrequency method of destroying the cancer. It works better than my stuff.
Now, what do you think happens to my products, techniques, etc.? No one will want them because they will want the other guy’s stuff. My investors are out a lot of money.
This is the way I understand it.

Just hang onto your hat and wait til the published results come out in the next couple of weeks. Also, they are going to begin the trials with humans.
This is not hooey and this guy is not just out there blowing his own horn. There are other people that are excited about this - professionals that understand the potential.
After watching my mom go through chemo, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but you do what you gotta do.
Very interesting. I wonder if the doctors who believe this has some great potential know this.

“After watching my mom go through chemo, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but you do what you gotta do.”
We teach alternatives to “conventional” cancer treatment. We talk with people regularly who have cancer and have gone...are going...are getting ready to go through chemo. Sometimes people opt out of chemo. Too often they still choose whatever the doctor says because they are afraid to do anything else.
We teach treatments that have a successful track record. We work with our clients through their treatment if they opt for alternatives. We also work with some who choose chemo but still want anything alternative they can do. Occassionally we find a doctor who listens, or is in tune with alternative approaches.
When the oncologist sends a patient home or to hospice with a prescription for morphine and tells the patient to get affairs in order, conventional medicine is admitting failure. For those patients in this group who choose to go alternative treatments, the success rate is 50%.
Prayers for you as well.
One thing I miss about dan rather is that he would breathlessly announce a new cure for cancer about once a month. never a follow-up story, as I recall.

There are many different forms of chemo.
