Thanks KDR, Jean and Rhondalea for the link and description - early days with it, but very interesting....

A.A.

P.S. Good to see you, RobinP!

P.P.S. I haven't watched it yet, but one question in particular occurred to me that I thought I'd raise. In regard to using the immune system's response to viruses as a way to battle cancer.... perhaps it may provide some explanation as to why some people with the same genetics as others who develop cancer do not also develop cancer. Perhaps they happened to have gone through having had a virus at some point that wasn't deadly but that "worked" on a cancer they didn't know they had?
