This technique was inveted by Dr. John Holt of Australia over thirty years ago. Either this guy doesn't know about the prior art, or he does know and is ripping off Dr. Holt's work

“I believe EVERY SINGLE other Republican candidate would be just as tough on terrorism “

I do not doubt your beliefe. All I’m saying is that Rudy has demonstrated his leadership. I seem to be the only one counting on evidence while everyone is dismissing either his demonstrated leadership (ALA Churchill)on 9/11 or dismissing it as his only evidence of leadership. To ignore what specifically he has done and to then judge him against the others with their lack of evidence of leadership is a specious premise.

Why do the nanoparticles attach preferentially to the tumors vs. healthy cells?

Sorry. Wrong p[ost MR. Moderator, please remove my last post. Tha nk you

Here is what I meant to post.

This man’s research has a far better chance of showing results for the betterment of mankind than embryonic stem cell research ever will. There are currently 1t least 72 therapies using adult/cord stem cells available for treatment. Embryonic stem cells = 0 with none on the horizon.

I really hope it works.

For those who have had cancer or are currently fighting it ... information like this makes fighting a little more easy as we know there is on-going research that may be fruitful.

FIGHT ON!

Interesting. I would be ecstatic if this actually works, but I can’t think of a reason that this approach would be selective for cancer cells. The cells would have to be either more susceptible to the radiofrequency energy than normal cells, or they would have to selectively bind or internalize the nanoparticles. Many different kinds of cells can internalize small molecules/particles (endocytosis), so this should not be cancer cell specific. Also, to date no one has been able to find a cellular receptor or adhesion molecule that is cancer specific, so it seems unlikely that these nanoparticles would selectively bind to cancer cells. Still, I hope it actually is effective.

...either gold or carbon nanoparticles, which would make their way through the body and attach to the cancerous cells.

Why would they do that, and how would they know?

I may be a bit cynical.....alright, I’m a LOT cynical...but I would think if there is promise to this system, the American Cancer Society would be hesitant to let it ruin the lucrative little setup they have going.

Hey skeptics and nay-sayers: this item has also been the topic of a previous thread.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1890090/posts

In addition, Dr. Stephen Curly is a highly credentialed and well known oncologist and physician working on this treatment protocol at M.D. Anderson. His PowerPoint slides indicate that he (Dr. Curley) has also teamed up with Nobel prize winning chemists Robert Hogue and Rick Smalley at Rice University. He also admits the difficulty in targeting the cancer cells but also states that it is very possible. http://www.manp.org/assets/pdf/erieapril2007.pdf

Here are further comments and a bit about his credentials at nano-health alliance.

Perhaps this has the potential to be more than “Snake Oil”. Lets cut this some slack. For all the families ravaged by cancer, let us hope and pray that Dr. Curley and his team of Nobel Prize winning chemists and researchers can turn this basement invention (which was “ripped off” from 30 year-old research /sarcasm off) into something great for mankind.
