The challenge for anti-cancer drugs is how to use these deadly compounds to fight disease without harming the rest of the body. Dr. Sam Wickline may have found one solution. He develops tiny nanoparticles that carry medicine to the spot where it's needed.

Treating and eradicating cancers for the long term would be a Blessing.
This is very hopeful Tom and I am grateful for this news.

Thanks Tom! This may be good news although the focus should also be on disease prevention, eating and exercising right.

My 80-yr-old, very active mother, is presently going through chemotherapy.
It's technically WORKING--but she is a shadow of her former self and only half-way through the sessions.

Unfortunately, she worked as an RN for mmany years [50 yers ago!!!!!], and has an unshakable faith in the medical establishment, despite the fact that it's KILLING her.

It's both painful and frustrating to watch a vibrant woman self-destruct because of narrow-mindedness .

But I think she's getting to the point where she would try horse-dung.

Thank you, Tom, for a more viable option---she has a great respect for bees coupled with sheer amazement....that they could 'cure' cancer is not out of her range of miraculous 'bee-wonders'.

Namaste! xo

dear Kelley~~well, we could start by finding an alternative to aluminum in antipersperants. We won't COOK in aluiminium pots, and yet we slather on aluminium into our open arm-pit pores EVERY day.

This gives me hope. If only my brother had had something like this in time.
Tx dear Tom
