About time SEPSIS was targeted ... sepsis kills more cancer patients than cancer its self.

With any infection cancer your blood gets tired worn down SHOULD blood transfusions be more readily available .

Its great to see Immunotherapies move beyond cancer, with foray into sepsis.

Jeff, so sorry to hear that your Dad has suffered sepsis - horrible.

Thank you for the interesting article, and I agree with you - this is a very exciting area for research. Let's hope that we see less and less of it in the future as medicine learns more about how to prevent!

Is very exciting IF only those that counted could keep up.

I did DNA test and i have gene that is linked to sepsis risk ALSO i have carry gene thats stops dehidration.

So make you think is that why me and my dad survived sepsis

This lot more to being what they call a CF Healthy Carrier and disease illnesss risk

JeffAjaxSmith - Sepsis is a beast almost as bad as cancer itself.

I almost died this past July when I woke up barely able to move, and once the meatwagon got me to the hospital, which is about 5 miles from my front door, the ER doctor told my wife to call in the family and the family priest because, "your husband most likely will not make it".

That was the second time an ER doctor has told my wife that, with me laying there listening. Of course I lived through both issues, and this past July, was so right there in front of me. I simply knew I was going to die, and I was trying to prepare myself for it. Which was just an outright strange thing to deal with.

Anyway, Sepsis almost got me before cancer did, and truthfully, I am not sure which one would be best. I just know more needs to be done, to educate everyone about sepsis and just how deadly it is, and how quickly things go from crappy, to dead.

Thanks for your post JeffAjaxSmith.

Hi sorry about trouble you been having AS everday passes dna research is making advances using drugs usaly not reconised but have usfull side effects.

My wepon of choose is swig of fortified almond milk.

And touch wood as is still helping me.

From my research almond milk contains trace eliment of iodne BUT iodine is very toxic

But medics would love to use it as is only know substance that killes virues bacteriea but that cause it as to much desloves hormone gland.
