Cancer-Killing Machine?
The world is waiting for the day that a cure for cancer will be invented; however, with the help of John Kanzius, that day may be right around the corner.
John Kanzius was diagnosed with leukemia in the spring of 2002, which helped motivate him to invent this machine. He was searching for a solution to killing off cancer cells without going through the pain of chemotherapy. Therefore, he invented a machine that generates an intense electromagnetic field and kills cancer by heating nanoparticles attached to the tumors (from the inside, out). In 2004, he filed for a patent and introduced the idea to close friends and doctors. Many renowned scientists were attracted to the device, including David Geller, the co-director of the Liver Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and Steven Curley, a professor of surgical oncology at Houston's Cancer Center. Curley says, "What John has done is find a way to produce a radio-frequency field so intense and so focused, it's achieving heating rates that have never before been described." It was tested on rats, who are still alive. In late 2010, it will be tested on humans. Could it be a cure for cancer?
