Hey, the board's up again! Whoo-weeh!
Lost the link from several breads ago that dealt with a CURE for blood, prostate, and brain cancer that was found in a trash can. Here's some excerpts and sauce for that story:
Actinium-225, an isotope of the element actinium, which is usually found in uranium ores, is proving effective in curing - not just treating - myeloid leukemia. Myeloid leukemia is a rare and rapidly progressing blood and bone marrow cancer that interferes with the body's production of platelets and normal white and red blood cells. The cancer is treatable in young patients, but often fatal for people over 60 years of age. That's particularly problematic because the American Cancer Society says 67 is the average age of diagnosis. But in medical trials, Actinium-225 successfully treated the disease in elderly patients. ORNL nuclear medical scientist Saed Mirzadeh said some patients went into remission after only one treatment. The isotope, when combined with tumor-seeking antibodies, is able to target and kill cancer cells without affecting healthy cells that surround them. …
Using Actinium to cure myeloid leukemia is the only clinical trial for the isotope in the United States now, but multiple trials are going on in Europe where they have found the isotope is also effective in treating prostate cancer and brain tumors. "For prostate cancer, it's actually very effective, Mirzadeh said. "They see drastic improvement compared to other isotopes and for the brain tumor, it is the same thing." Patients with brain tumors who were exposed to the isotope have been tumor-free for a couple of years after their clinical trials.
