One in six American men will develop prostate cancer. It is the most common cancer after skin cancer, and the second biggest cancer killer for men. Two Israeli scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Israel promise an almost miraculous cure, now in clinical trials at New York’s Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It is the culmination of 20 years of basic research by plant scientist Avigdor Scherz and cancer researcher Yoram Saloman.
Professor Scherz took a naturally occurring form of chlorophyll from aquatic bacteria:
… chemically modified by Prof. Scherz's lab at Weizmann to fit the team's pharmaceutical needs. Once the photosensitized drug is injected, it meets up with the second crucial element in this therapy—light—at the targeted tumor site… from highly focused fiber-optic lasers that have been inserted near the tumor. As the chlorophyll absorbs the light, it can then interact with the third component in the process—oxygen—to produce oxygen radicals. This interaction initiates a fast cascade of pathophysiological events that cause instantaneous closing of the blood vessels leading to the tumor, followed by oxygen and nutrient deprivation at the tumor site, as well as other active processes that kill tumor cells. In 24 to 48 hours, the tumor undergoes complete necrosis.
The treatment, called vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy or VTP, is a one-time 20- to 30-minute procedure. There have been no side effects in urination or sexual function.
The Israeli team foresees applications for breast, ovary, lung, and pancreas tumors. The latter has no effective treatment to date and has been a tragic death sentence.
As I read about these medical breakthroughs from Israel, my mind goes to Germany today, and yesteryear. The Nazis killed off their Jewish citizens, their best and their brightest, out of envy, greed, and spite.

So did Lyndon Johnson. I'm still waiting to see it.
Damn.....Slow Joe Biden is already on the job /s
God told Abraham that the entire world would be blessed by his offspring.......................
bkmk
This is a gimmick.
Not just a gimmick but apparently a political tool.
“Not just a gimmick but apparently a political tool.”
I don’t know. Would you explain both of your assertions?
..and lets list the accomplishments brought to the world by Islam....
uh...........uh..............mmm...................
Like I said it’s a gimmick. This newfangled cancer treatment is going to get everyone all excited (apparently especially our Hasbara friends and naive American Israel boosters, and unfortunately those actually suffering from cancer) and then it will fail in clinical trials. I know because I’ve seen it a million times. These stories always pull in anyone who doesn’t know more than a bit of high school biology. I know the field of cancer therapy, especially experimental therapeutics, very well.
What has to be shown to bring something out of the lab and into clinal trials?
It has to show some promise, doesn’t it?
Bringing a new treatment into clinical trials does generally need at least some OK preclinical (animal model) results, but it’s also as much a matter of money, politics and salesmanship. If you’ve got the money to carry out a trial, and acceptable preclinical data, then it’s not that hard to get the FDA to give you the go-ahead, as long as you’re not likely to make the patients sicker than they already are. And promising preclinical studies are a dime a dozen.
Okay.
I have been told that the pellet insertion is very pain full. Glad your friend is OK.
Where’s Smilin’ Bob!
I see your thought process in this, but it's been proven research that Jews have increased intelligence derived over two thousand years of survival in other nations by using their wits. Everywhere they went, they survived by evolving higher intelligence. The survivors from WWII retained this genetic gift.
Great! Now, if could be diagnosed without someone sticking their hand up my ass...
really? thought lead underwear was a myth. I never had to when I had seed implants.
I had seed implants and it wasn’t painful at all.
Interesting. Thanks for that. Guess the guy that told me that had a very low threshold of pain or a bad procedure.
The Doc who did my last colonoscopy said, "oh, we don't do this because we have to. We do this because we like to." When you're half nekkid and someone is about to run a hose up ya, ya better laugh...
