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.

Karin McQuillan's speaking the hard truth... Good for McQuillan... Most likly cancer would have been cured years ago if it hasn't been for the idiot evil Germans.
Unlikely, but we most certainly would not have gone to the moon without those idiot evil Germans.
They put you out so you don’t feel a thing. Wife and I went out to eat afterwards like nothing happened.
So are you doing OK?
That’s true. Willy Ley wasn’t a science fiction writer - he was a rocket scientist who came over after the war.

YEs. A cure doesn’t fit in their business model.
I’m doing OK. PSA has been zero for the last couple of years.

Glad to hear that!
