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.

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.

Thanks and it does seem to be a breakthrough.
