The Cure for Cancer. (the dumbed down version)

[Hotdog]

Basic premise

Kill cancer with a deadly virus (that's curable of course)
Such as small pox, or some other one.


Inject virus either directly into tumor, or into blood stream. If in blood stream, program virus to attack certain proteins only the cancer cells have. Once the virus is inside the cancer cell it will multiply and explode the cancer cell. Your immune system will do the rest.

Warning: side effects are to be expected, such as high fever and extreme headaches.

After about a month, you are good to go. No more cancer. Also, get that virus cleared up after.


Peace to all.

Immunotherapy, retroviral gene therapy, T-cell therapy, and countless other approaches to tackle cancer the way you describe are already in development, and some of them are starting to make it to the market. I'm sure Dala knows more about this, but I talk to cancer researchers whenever I get the chance because I'm interested in tracking medical (and other technological) developments, and there is a lot of optimism right now that most cancers will be a lot more manageable within the next couple of decades.

They do this with hiv. A guy in utah got infected with dead hiv to cure his cancer.

What you have stated is already heavily researched. Its called an oncolytic virus. People have also tried vaccines against common antigens found on cancers. Research is leaving as small amount of stones unturned as the budget allows and hopefully one day...

Somebody watches 60 minutes apparently. They were using polio.

Fun fact, I'm immune (or highly resistant) to a large amount of HIV.

There is experimental treatment going on now in Australia using some local fruit extract. This fruit is interesting that it has ability to numb the mouth of the animal which picks it up to eat after few minutes forcing to be dropped, thus helping redistribute seeds as long as animals do not eat it right away. Long story short they started experimenting and injecting this fruit extract ( named EBC-46) into some skin tumors in animals and found that it caused necrosis and death of the tumor cells. I saw pictures during recent conference of before and after and it does look quite amazing...huge size malignant tumors just turn black and fall of the body leaving big skin defect which eventually heals via secondary closure. Some may say but why use it when you can surgically remove the tumor? Well, there is numerous reasons - anesthetic concerns, inoperable tumors due to location and so on. So it is exciting even if it is still in experimental stage and I don't think it has been tested on people yet.

I'd page Dalamon to this thread... but I think responding is below him.

I'm homozygous for the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation, which causes this. I'm also highly resistant to the plague and to small pox.

Butt ya all the jokes.

I used to scoff at stuff like that. I thought it was all hippy "all natural" bull ****. However it has recently come to my attention that 70% of all new medicine in the last 25 years comes directly from nature. For example the best aids treatment AZT. The Pacific Yew has Taxol which is one of the strongest anti cancer drugs. ACE inhibitors were found from pit viper venom. The list goes on and on....
