Is there a day without chemo coming?
Lab Mice Cured of Cancer after Receiving White Blood Cells From Cancer-Resistant Mice
White blood cells from a strain of cancer-resistant mice cured advanced cancers in ordinary laboratory mice
Winston-Salem, NC -- Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine reported the findings in this week's on-line edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Even highly aggressive forms of malignancy with extremely large tumors were eradicated. This is the first time that one very aggressive type of cancer has been treated successfully. The transplanted white blood cells not only killed existing cancers, but also protected normal mice from what should have been lethal doses of highly aggressive new cancers.
Preliminary studies show that the white blood cells also kill cancers that spring up naturally in the body's own cells.
The original studies on group of cancer-resistant mice, reported in 2003, showed that cancer resistance could be inherited. The new findings show that resistant-cell therapy can cure cancers in ordinary mice. The research opens the way for possible similar therapies in humans. The research was conducted by Zheng Cui, MD, PhD, Mark C. Willingham, MD, and several colleagues, and funded by the Cancer Research Institute, the National Cancer Institute and the Charlotte Geyer Foundation

WOW!
That sounds incredible ... way to go scientists!
I love that line
"Even highly aggressive forms of malignancy with extremely large tumors were eradicated."
That is wayyy cool.
Thanks for posting

Sorry Betsy, but that article has nothing to do with the study I was referring to.Betsydoglover said:Hi all -

The results were just published over the weekend in the release of the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences". You can google that and see the results. Or just check today's newspapers and news reports.
Try to keep this on the forefront of your minds. There is not much for "brainwashing and recurrent drug treatment opportunities (revenue)", so it could disappear quickly. Sad but true!!!!!!!!

Sorry all! ALthough I think this article is related it is clearly not current - but it's what I got by "googling". I 'll search again, but if someone actually has a URL for a current article it would be good to post.scouty said:Sorry Betsy, but that article has nothing to do with the study I was referring to.

Lisa,
There has been much research being done on just this subject for quite awhile. But it seems to have sped up in the last 6 months (fine, just missing ME, still traditional protocol). Look at breast cancer, with leanings toward herceptin, and the interaction with hormones. I am WAY EXCITED...always felt that cancer is tied to immune system...do something to compromise it, and it can no longer fight the beast!
My wish is that within MY lifetime (50 years young) cancer will be nothing worse than the flu...still needing serious watching, but NOT a death sentence!
Hugs, Kathi0
