News from Europe: Better, safer, more effective radiotherapy

[donits]

Hi guys,

At the University of Gdansk in Poland, researchers invented and already patented a new method of radiotherapy.

You can google: "Uniwersytet Gdanski/ Researchers from the faculty of chemistry with the new patent for improving radiotherapy effectiveness ."

Here are some snippets of text: Patent Office of the Republic of Poland decided to grant a patent, titled "Radiosensitizer to be applied in radiotherapy" to researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Gdansk. It will allow improving the efficiency of radiotherapy and minimizing its negative effects. Radiotherapy is one of the leading treatments for hard tumor cancers. Ionizing radiation used in radiotherapy, unfortunately, causes multiple side effects and complications. For that reason improving the efficiency of radiotherapy and minimizing its negative effects are in high demand.... - This problem might be solved by applying radiosensitizers- chemical compounds that sensitize cancer cells to ionizing radiation. The final outcome of applying a sensitizer is damaging the DNA leading to the death of cancer cells-says prof. dr. hab. Janusz Rak from the Department of Physical Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Gdansk. .......

Before, during and after RT I used turmeric as it is said to be a possible radio sensitizer.

So they impair the cell’s survivalFrom radiation by poisoning them with this unnatural substituted pyridine incorporated into the DNA. No surprise there. But it will be incorporated into all the healthy cells in the body too. Doesn’t seem like a good thing for one’s health.

Doesn't seem that this radiation sensitizer is preferentially taken up by prostate.

Polish populations's response: What? No Kielbasa?

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
