I had posted on Friday about the 60 min. program on Sunday and I hope that most were able to view it...as it proved to be exciting.

Recently Bill posted about a collective cure for bc..and I was thinking about this for a vew days and when I viewed the 60 min. show I could not stop considering the fact that cancer cells are just this - A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing....

When considering that our bodies make trillions of cells each day, for fat, skin, bones, etc. and it only takes one tiny shift to occur in the DNA to create a mutation and a cell can go haywire. If we consider the fact that a cell begins to go haywire, but also retains some or parts of the appearance of a normal cell, maybe this is how it fools our immune system to believe it is a normal cell and does not get destroyed. Since our bodies are always making trillions of cells it maybe imppossible to cure cancer at the root. Now this new invention is surly a strong hope in progress, it will track down only those cancer cells regardless of how they trick the immune system.
