Re: Low dose stimulation produces immunity to cancer

[Muckerheide <muckerheide@attbi.com>]

Wrong John,



You have seen humans treated/cured of cancer in papers provided to you here

on the list numerous times. You should read them. Did you forget, e.g., this

example?

http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Figures/Docs/MP98_fig19.gif



Do you think this is an implanted tumor!? (The immune cells could be seen

destroying the tumor tissue in the later stages of these cases. BUT, it's

not used or researched. It's not a DRUG!)



Heating is ALSO good. That ALSO stimulates the immune system. It is

especially effective combined with radiation. The combination is used for

treatment to cure cancer in Japan, with some good results, often over

several months. Many can't stand the heat! :-)



But it's also not a DRUG!
