Who wakes up in the morning and thinks, “You know, if I modify that polio virus, I bet I can get it to kill cancer cells!!!”

I have seen a lot of potential miracle cures for cancer come and go. It stands to reason that some day one of them will work well and for a lot of different cancers. Maybe this is the one.

Yep, it’s called innovation and I hate to think what ObamaCare is going to ultimately do to things like this.

I have lost a beloved niece, my cousins husband, and a long time friend to glioblastomas. This is fantastic news because a glioblastoma is a death sentence.

I contracted polio at age two (1947). It attacks the myelin sheath tissue around nerves. If the tissue in the blastoma is likened to the myelin sheath then it stands to reason it would attack that. I wonder, the girl’s age is such that she was vaccinated for polio, so the virus would not work against her tissues; but the cancer blastoma is not her tissue!
