Killing Cancer like the Common Cold

This is excellent news.

"This is absolutely one of the more exciting advances I've seen in cancer therapy in the last 20 years," said Dr. David Porter, a hematologist and oncologist at Penn. "We've entered into a whole new realm of medicine."

In the therapy, doctors first remove the patient's T-cells, which play a crucial role in the immune system. They then reprogram the cells by transferring in new genes. Once infused back into the body, each modified cell multiplies to 10,000 cells. These "hunter" cells then track down and kill the cancer in a patient's body.

For just 15 pounds, why no check this out.....I am convinced that the food we eat has an enormous effect on our health, of course there are other factors that define our health but there is overwhelming proof that a lot of foods make you ill while other foods have the capacity to cure.

I see that MEDITERRANEAN DIET CUTS CANCER RISK. Okay, raki, barbecued pork, coffee and copious cigarettes!
