After
many years in the medical profession, I have watched as they have
searched for a cure for cancer. I know that Mark Zuckerberg (the CEO of
Facebook) and wife Priscilla Chan are planning to invest 3 billion
dollars to "work together to cure, prevent or manage all disease within
our children's lifetime".
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/21/mark-zuckerberg-priscilla-chan-chan-zuckerberg-initiative/90790572/ For
decades possible cures were put on the back burner due to the
incredible political power of the Cancer Infrastructure. A real cure
would end their billion dollar industry. Millions of people have endured
the incredible and challenging ordeal of chemo or radiation therapy -
sometimes doing more harm than good - as they sometimes destroyed the
immune systems with radiation. Someday,
not long off, we will see the effective and total elimination of cancer
- the first step is to understand the human body is our most effective
physician. The cure below- in the video - can help with metastatic
non-small-cell lung cancer by using our own immune systems to stop the
cancer from growing. "A
journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" ― Lao Tzu - and
so we begin - with renewed hope and knowledge - within at least our
children's lifetimes - to find ways to prevent, cure, and manage all
known diseases - especially cancer. Medclinician - John Bell |

It is almost (but not quite) a magic bullet. In cases of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma it increases life expectancy from less than 1 year to over 10 years. That is a game changer.
I have been watching this drug and its cousins for several months now and it is but one of a whole tribe of new immunotherapy treatments. Like chemotherapy they have some nasty side effects (potentially) but that is where the resemblence ends. This is just the start, equivalent to the sulpha drugs which preceded antibiotics - and just as big an advance! In a world where the incidence of cancer is rising alarmingly (it went from 1-in-3 to 1-in-2 this year alone) this is a massive dose of hope. For cancer patients it has become a race to stay alive long enough for the next treatment to emerge - and that time frame is shrinking fast. Nice catch Med.
