Immunotherapy

[Azure_Sky]

I am not sure how long this has been around, but I hadn't heard of it before. It certainly looks promising for people with some types of cancer. I see skin cancer treated this way has been successfully treated and lung cancer held at bay. A lady in the article has had an extra two years of life, following treatment at the Royal Marsden. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it could also help COPD sufferers.

The say STI's produce cancer fighting toxins .. Not like ad want any of them but immune therapy is key

hookworms have been know to help people with severe hay fever. but you have to have them cleared out of the gut from time to time

[Azure_Sky in reply to Offcut]

Yuk...Offcut my dear I would rather have Hay Fever than hookworms. I have Hay Fever at the moment.. Something to do with grasses I think.

[Offcut in reply to Azure_Sky]

I have the usual but rapeseed fields really do me in. I can smell them well before I see them.

Yes it would, still wonderful news for cancer sufferers, must be comforting to know that progress is being made.

It does seem the body itself can do a lot of the hard work it is just pointing it in the right direction. All positive news. The next step for the drugs barons is see how much money they can make out of it.

[Hidden in reply to Offcut]

Defo agree there .. Is just a shame we all know this no money in cures where there is in stringing us out

Suppose out is better than nout tho

[Offcut in reply to Hidden]

Well it could cure or lengthen time to individuals what ever they do they will make money out of it.

It is a more detailed most interesting article. Thankyou D3NIS.

[Azure_Sky in reply to Offcut]

Thank you Offcut I am pleased to see Immunotherapy is getting publicity.

[Offcut in reply to Azure_Sky]

The body has been doing it all our lives but sometimes a little help does not go amiss.
