What are these new miraculous treatments that are working for patients with cancer? The article keeps referring to them but doesn’t mention even one of them. I think the article is pure bs. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are still the cancer treatments being used for virtually all cancers and these treatments are not new, chemo has been used for over 70 years and radiation and surgery for much longer.

There are alternate treatments being used successfully for some types of cancer but they are being used by few cancer patients compared to the chemo, radiation and surgery. So that is not turning the tide on this deadly disease.

Maybe more people are praying for healing.

From personal experience I can tell you that Proton Radiation therapy for prostate cancer is a new, miraculous treatment.

Treatment of brain tumors (and possibly other cancers) with a modified polio virus is one such new treatment. The fact that two people’s gliobastoma has completely disappeared with this treatment is previously unheard of. Miraculous nearly! My wife has brain cancer and we are following this development closely- see the 60 min segment from two weeks ago...still in phase 1 trial but extremely promising development.

In addition, really promising cancer treatment studies have shown potential in using simple antibiotics: amoxicillin, etc. they’ve found it seems to disrupt the cancer’s mitochondria cell division process for multiple types. We pray each and every day for a cure, and I do believe one will be found someday in the near future.

The key part of these therapies is that they are created from the patient’s own cells. A cell population is isolated, then modified and expanded so that when reinfused back to the patient, the modified cells attack the cancerous cells. As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, various viruses are used as part of the cell modification process.
