LIFT (leukocyte infusion therapy)

[Rich66]

An introduction to the concept here:

Dr. Cui's presentation here:

Beyond the therapy itself, interesting info on seasonal immune system variation (weaker in winter, need limited activity and sleep to compensate)

I found this link by way of a viewer comment that mentioned LIFT:

" Wouldn't leukocytes from cancer resistant humans (in the summer) likely cure even metastatic colon cancer? Dr. Zheng Cui found that neutrophils and macrophages from cancer resistant people did cure one cancer, when white blood cells from a donor were infused into a patient in a normal therapy for infection that antibiotics had not eliminated. That therapy cured his infection and his cancer as well.
Cui, at Wake Forest Baptist, had been authorized to conduct a clinical trial of his leukocyte infusion therapy (LIFT) but lacked the $3 million cost since no new drug that could provide monopoly profits was involved."

Well..might just be the viewers understanding.
