A research scientist who is not connected to any drug company discovered a natural cure for SOME types of previously "incurable" strains of cancer was the subject of an episode of a show on PBS titled "Independent Lens" that aired tonight.
One cancer it cures is Lymphoma,which is what I have.
His name is Doctor Jim Allison,and he was awarded a Nobel Prize for his discovery a couple of years ago. I don't know/remember when this show was filmed,but it seems to take a few years from trial end to production,to government approval,and finally,to patients.
I don't even pretend to understand what this means,but he discovered a way to modifie your body's own "T-Cells" to get them to kill the cancer cells without the patients ever having to take chemo or radiation,and they don't even get sick from it.
Not only that,but they seem to be "cured" after only a few treatments,and these were people in the FDA test that had had no hope of survival left so they became test suspects.
i highly recommend any of you who have cancer or knows someone who has cancer either find and record this program,or contact your local PBS station and buy it on CD.
I wish I could explain this better,but I still have chemo brain,and it's a real struggle to remember to get dressed before leaving the house. I wouldn't wish chemo on my worse enemy.
UPDATE!!!
BTW,I forgot to mention that the FDA has approved his treatment,and that there has already been several hundred thousand people cured of cancer in Europe and the US since the approval.
Including him.
