Studies On Using Radio Waves Against Cancer Are Promising
John Kanzius has created a machine named the Kanzius machine that can possible zap cancer cells with radio frequencies. Apparently the machine works without any side effects or the need for drugs. If this is true then the Kanzius Machine and John Kanzius could have produced the most important breakthrough ever known to cancer research. There is still a lot of research to do and clinical trials will have to be performed, but this seems like a great invention.
If the trials work out like many doctors and cancer researchers think it will then John Kanzius is going to be a very rich man and his Kanziys machine may be able to save the lives of thousands of cancer patients. Cancer is one of the most destructive diseases known to man and if the Kanzius machine can help even a small percentage of the people who have cancer then it will be a fabulous breakthrough. Of course for John Kanzius this was a personal endeavor he decided to take on.The last thing John Kanzius thought he’d ever do was try to cure cancer. A former radio and television executive from Pennsylvania, he came to Florida to enjoy his retirement.
"I have no business being in the cancer business. It’s not something that a layman like me should be in, it should be left to doctors and research people," .
It was the worst kind of luck that gave Kanzius the idea to use radio waves to kill cancer cells: six years ago, he was diagnosed with terminal leukemia and since then has undergone 36 rounds of toxic chemotherapy. But it wasn’t his own condition that motivated him, it was looking into the hollow eyes of sick children on the cancer ward at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
"I saw the smiles of youth and saw their spirits were broken. And you could see that they were sort of asking, ‘Why can’t they do something for me?’" Kanzius said. "So they started to haunt you. Their faces. I still remember them holding on their Teddy bears and so forth," he replied. "And shortly after that I started my own chemotherapy, my third round of chemotherapy."
Kanzius told Stahl the chemotherapy made him very sick and that he couldn’t sleep at night. "And I said, ‘There’s gotta be a better way to treat cancer."
Here’s how it works: one box sends radio waves over to the other, creating enough energy to activate gas in a fluorescent light. Kanzius put his hand in the field to demonstrate that radio waves are harmless to humans.
"So right from the beginning you’re trying to show that radio waves could activate gas and not harm the human-anything else," "You’re looking for some kind of a treatment with no side effects.
At the University of Pittsbrugh Medical Center, the first Kanzius protoype is being used by Dr. David Geller. Geller is testing the radio-wave theory on lab rats with tumors. "I think this has potential to be cutting-edge technology; it's certainly novel," said Geller. "There's nothing out there like it." UPMC isn't the only place working with Kanzius' invention.
Dr. Steven Curley is a program director at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, where Kanzius underwent treatment. "Current radio frequency treatment require literally sticking a needle or needles into tumors and turning on an electrical current that will heat the tumor slowly," said Curley.
As Promising as abstract results have been a recent Google search of the Kanzius Machine does not appear it to be worthy of any additional exposure among the medical community or media outlets since mid 2008 only 4 months after being aired on CBS 60 mins. Has it become a well-established fact that conventional medicine shuns inexpensive, non-invasive, all-natural, side-effect-free cancer treatments, no matter how much they protest such claims? It would seem actions speak louder then words in this case.

However, I think the media is simply being responsible. I'm following Kanzius related research closely. Early studies including treatment of cancer cells in a petri dish have been very, very, promising. They are now going through the slow and laborious process of animal studies. These take time. So, it is reasonable for the media to not hype it until more true data is available.
When the next round of research is published (My guess is that could be as early as April, or as late as 2010) the media will pick up on it.
Hopefully those results will be with continued good news. This one has more promise than anything I've seen in a long time. But cancer research is littered with ideas that worked in a petri dish and didn't succeed in humans.
