Comment on comment on anticancer mice and men

We have cured cancer in mice hundreds of times but not so in humans.
The article on the innate anticancer super immune mice, had the lead researcher's wife get advanced metastatic cancer that had overcome all conventional therapies and left her with months to live... yet she received the treatment and was cancer free, free from terminal cancer that was beyond all conventional therapies.
Cancer resistance innate immune cells were found in humans explaining how some can have a century of high carcinogen load and remain cancer free.
Unless something is wrong with that it seems like cancer was cured, at least in one human, and yet no funding because it is not patent-able.-source kurzweilai

cancer news, fasting


-"Fasting-like diet turns the immune system against cancer

A low-calorie fasting-like diet, plus chemotherapy, enables the immune system to recognize and kill skin and breast cancer cells, according to a new USC-led study on mice... 

“It may be that by always being exposed to so much food, we are no longer taking advantage of natural protective systems which allow the body to kill cancer cells,” Longo said. “But by undergoing a fasting-mimicking diet, you are able to let the body use sophisticated mechanisms able to identify and destroy the bad but not good cells in a natural way.”"-source university of southern carolina




Interesting news regarding potential simple additions for a combined therapy that may be more effective.   The study is on animals, so further research on humans is needed, but it seems promising.
