Killing a tumor with magnetism?

Magnetic attraction?

It should be noted, that -anything- can kill cancer cells, just as
"anything" can kill the aids virus.

The problem isn't "what killing agent to use", the problem is:
how to hit the target with the killing agent.

Cancer cells will die if you inject them with Coca Cola (or
Pepsi Cola), or magnetic particles, or grape seed extract,
or Almond extract, or ________ (fill in the blank).

Eating, drinking, or otherwise ingesting, or injecting, the "killing
agent" into the body in toto, will not do what it can do when it is
injected into the cancer cell directly.

There are indeed, other methods of addressing cancer cells
that have worked well for a few thousand years or more.....

And there are many other "alternatives" that have been
around nearly as long, that some can attest to as having
worked well for them.

But "magnets".......?

Grapes seeds are less expensive, and are easier to digest.

Best of health!

John,
Your cynicism is refreshing.

I admit, when I saw "magnetism" my quack alarm went off. However, the magnetic particles are just a heat generator, much like radiation, and they kill the cancer, not the healthy tissue.

You are correct that other substances can do the same, but delivery is an issue, and many of those substances kill healthy tissue as well.

Of course, even if this can be made to work in humans it is probably 15 to 20 years away, so the point is merely an academic one.

Lighten up. It is not going to replace your four thousand (though most scholars say 2.5) year old medicine.

Buck..
Good to see you posting again!

We thought you had left the forum for good!

The "going away" party wasn't totally in vain however, and we
did save you some Beer Nuts.

(It is good to read your delightful posts again; they manage
to keep my blood flowing without the use of Heparin)

Stay well!

John
