treatment strategy

I haven't deviated from conventional therapy yet. I'm still awaiting the results from another genetic test. It is the BRCA1 and BRCA2 test.
I'm hoping I have one or the other overexpressed. If this is the case then I should be in real good shape. I haven't started the abraxane yet. My Dr and I both feel that I should continue my current treatment a little longer. I'm also considering mytomicin. Should I be BRCA positive then I will probably take a few weeks off of chemo then start abraxane and mytomycin, and probably throw in some low dose xeloda. I'm gonna have to foot the bill myself on the abraxane and mytomicin.

I've been working on a 13.56 Mhz RF device. I bought a bunch of equipment and was having a very hard time generating and maintaining adequate power. Plus the power levels I needed were simply scary. I had a great idea in a dream one night and now I've had to scrap my original plans. Without going into detail, I've been working on something that I think is very unique in both its technique and approach. I don't really want to say anymore because it could be worthless and I don't want to get my hopes, or anyone else's, up. I will say that my current idea completely avoids any of the design negatives currently associated with the Kanzius type device.

I've been researching ways to ramp up the absorption rate of nanoparticles by cancer cells. Luckily, I wasn't the only one with that idea and I found a company that has a GEP coated nanorod. They also have done extensive testing on absorption and retention rates of their GEP nanorods in cancer as well as vital organ tissue. I couldn't have asked for, nor designed, a better structure to use with my device.

I have sold or returned all the equipment I originally bought for my RF device. I'm going to have to build my system from a few parts of other, surprisingly unrelated, devices. This may take a few months. I have a parts list. If I were to buy all these parts new it would be ridiculously pricey. But, I have located several broke down machines that I can salvage for parts. I also need to design one piece. I won't be able to design it until I have all the other pieces up and running. My completed machine is going to be a sweet piece of redneck engineering with uses beyond what I'm creating it for. I hope to be up and running by April.

On paper, and in my head, I feel like I have a practical solution. I'll keep everyone posted. As for now, things will be moving a little slowly until I can find all the parts.

One part that I can't seem to locate is a 13.56 Mhz plasma reactor chamber. I don't need it to be working. In fact, it can be completely busted, I don't need it to hold a vacuum.

    When someone tells me
    When someone tells me they're looking for something, I always recommend www.freecycle.org but I'm not sure you'll find a 13.56 Mhz plasma reactor chamber, busted or otherwise!

    You're sooooooooo bright that it blows my mind! I honestly believe you could find THE treatment to kill cancer cells easily! I do believe that.

    I believe that too!
    You are so smart John, I bet you do come up with a way to cure yourself, I believe you'll be here for a long time as well, no matter what the doctors say as well :)

    You inspire me whenever you post, and love reading more and more of your information that you post. Keep it up!

    Hugsss~

    John you're the man!
    You always inspire me. What a blessing to be able to hear about your brain's workings. I'm rooting for you to find the plasma reactor.

    all the best, Leslie

    Thanks for the info
    As usual, you provide some thought-provoking material.

    I am puzzled why you want to see overexpression of BRCA1 or BRCA2. I thought a deficiency in the double strand repair mechanism was connected to mutations and loss of function of these proteins, and that such a deficiency made some chemotherapy agents that cross link DNA strands like mitomycin more effective. Maybe that is what you meant by BRCA-positive, or perhaps I'm wrong.

    I don't know much about RF devices and don't have a plasma reactor chamber lying around, but I am interested in your mention of nanorods. Do you have access to nanorods that are chemically attached to cancer-specific binding agents? I know there are general folate-based ligands that preferentially bind to cell surface receptors, but can you find nanorods that target other receptors?

    Keep us in the loop on developments.
    Best wishes,
    Jeremy

    Wow!
    You really are amazing. You have the natural ability and desire to think of things most people cannot even comprehend (including myself). You are a true innovator!

    Good luck!
    I confess to not understanding a lot of what you wrote, but I hope you cam get this done. You're so smart and so inventive, and you certainly have incentive for making this work.
