I watched the exciting Vice program on HBO. Shane Smith is the founder of the program. His mother was dx. with breast cancer. His step mother also was dx with breast cancer. This report was personal for him.

Vice is a program that does documentaries and special reports. Each week there is a different report. This week was cancer.
The show opened filming at MD Anderson, with an experiential procedure. Injecting a virus into the brain tumor. The viruses / diseases that once killed us, like small pox, measles now may hold the key to a cure.

Dr. John Bell, at the Ottawa hospital for innovative cancer research is credited as the first to figure out the virus without harming the healthy cells. It had been suspected since the early 1900's that viruses attacked cancer cells.
Dr. Bell research took a leap 5 yrs. ago. The virus attacks the cancer, enters the cell and the cancer cell explodes.
Heathly cells are not harmed. This is a revolutionary treatment. It is a rapidly developing field.

Dr. Steven Russell at the Mayo Clinic, engineered a measles virus. The virus that Dr. Russell used was original from the throat of a boy who had the measles in 1954.
Dr. Russell added a new gene into the virus in order to make it better for treating cancer.
Two patients with Multiple myeloma (which is a cancer that accumulates in the bone marrow) and the virus treatment is their last hope, as both men exhausted all treatments. Both patients were injected with the measles virus. This is a phase 11 trial.

A week after treatment both patients go back to the hospital (8 days) both patients had a hard reaction,
severe bone pain, nausea and fatigue. Both were better a week later.

In the phase 1 trail a women was treated (she also had exhausted all known treatments) she had a huge tumor presenting on her head. The size of a golf ball. She had an amazing reaction. Her recovery is a miraculous.

After a single injection, she had a severe headache, high fever. 36 hrs. after the treatment the huge golf ball tumor on her forehead was gone. This is the first time in history that a virus is documented that has eradicated cancer.

She has energy and is feeling strong. The cancer is gone from her body. As they said in the report, the virus loves to beat up on the cancer. This patient is 18 months out from the treatment and she NED. This virus treatment destroyed all her tumors. Again, healthy tissue is not harmed. The virus goes throughout the body and attacks all the tumors. She had a single injection/treatment.
The virus also deactivates the cancers ability to suppress our immune system. Very ground breaking indeed.

Dr. Juan Fueyo is the director of the brain tumor research program at MD Anderson. He is working with the common cold virus. The researchers genetically modified the adenovirus to attack brain tumors. Dr. Fredrick Lang a neuro surgeon who works with Dr. Fueyo on this phase 1 trial. They took brain tumors from humans and placed them in mice. Then treated them with the virus and the tumors were attacked and destroyed. The report shows a patient being treated with the cold virus directly into his brain tumor. 25 people were treated and 3 had NED. Again, this is a phase 1 trial. The treatment and surgery takes 5 hrs. 6 weeks after the patients surgery the tumor has stopped growing.

We already use live virus for vaccines. The report states that the next five years using viruses will be a main driver to treat cancer. Both of these treatments are in the early stages. They are trying to fast track the treatment.

There is a radical new therapy virus treatment using the HIV virus. At the children's hospital of Pennsylvania. Since this virus is one of the dreaded viruses that causes aids, you could imagine that the news of this deadly virus was offering the best chance of all was so surprising.
The Children's Hospital is using the HIV virus to treat leukemia. A little girl who had reached the end of known treatments went to the hospital as a last hope for treatment.

Dr. Carl June who studied HIV and cancer for the Tcell treatment. Dr. June learned how to use HIV to reprogram the virus. The patient cannot get HIV from the treatment. This treatment is a T cell killing treatment.
Three adults were treated. 21 days after treatment all had no leukemia.

4 weeks after the little girl was treated (she was the 4th and 1st child) she is in total remission NED and the three adults are also in full remission. NED

These are ground breaking results. 39 children have now been treated and 90% of them have experienced complete remission, for 2 plus years. There has never been a treatment that has done this.

There are 300 kinds of cancer. Dr. June is taking about a cure. This virus should be approved by FDA by 2016. Dr.June believes many of those 300 cancers will be cured. The dr's know they are on the right path. This is the biggest news in cancer since chemo/and/radiation.
Taking viruses that used to kill us are now saving lives.
This is a paradigm shift in treating cancer.
So, YES dear sisters, the end is near.

I hope that all can view this documentary.
