Hi - I remember seeing a while ago an article on treating people with cancer according to their genetic makeup and thus eliminating the need for chemo. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to find that article? I have an opportunity to meet a doctor whose research is based on this premise but I'd like to become a little more familiar so that I know what questions to ask. Tks. Monica

    Monica -

    Are you thinking of cancer vaccines? or are you referring to gene therapy whereby they actually doctor the genes of people with genetic forms of cancer?

    In Mexico this is called the transfer factor. they take a sample of your tumor and create an antibody from it. I ve been doing this therapy for the past 5 months.

    I believe it is the one where they actually doctor the genes. Thanks for the info. Monica
