    In my experience after two rounds of chemotherapy and two surgeries for a grade 3 brain tumor, this is by far the easiest treatment. The worst is pulling the adhesive patch off. If anything, I feel like I have a boosted immune system.

    Dr. Gershenhorn I want to thank you for posting this video and for all your hard work and dedication to finding better cancer treatments.I was diagnosed in 2000 with squamous cell carcinoma in the lymph nodes in my neck. I went through Dr. Eric P. Lester's 12 week program of chemo and 60 radiation treatments. I am alive today because of him. he has since retired and I am very happy to find a doctor like you close enough to me if the need arises.Thank you for all you do.

    Very interesting. Dr. Bruce Gershenhorn seems like a great doctor and great person, you can tell he really cares about this. This is really an exciting new area of cancer treatment. I want to also mention the topic of psychoneuroimmunology and the mind-body connection. Dr. Gabor Mate writes a lot about it. I think that the mind-body connection is a really big piece of this whole puzzle that can't be left out.

    What an innovative way to treat cancer and perhaps even cure it. Allows the body to take its own healing properties to treat cancer, which is a better alternative to some of thee treatments of the past. Who knows one day maybe this will be the common way in which to treat cancer instead of these evasive treatments,

    Does anyone know why my daughter's immune system attacked her pancreas when she was about 4 yrs old causing her to become a type 1 diabetic? She's insulin dependent the rest of her life....3-4 self-injections a day. Some believe it stems from too many vaccinations at once when kids are very young. The immune system can be your friend... and also your enemy.

    our immune system is incredible at fighting off infections. there is something that sees the cancer cells as foreign. It is called black salve. My Aunty had cancer on her face. She was offered surgery to remove it and it would have left horrendous scarring all around her chin, up to her cheek. She applied black salve. The black salve reacts with the cancer cells, the immune system recognises the cancer cells as foreign, and pushes the cancer cells out through the skin. An eschar formed, the entire tumour fell out, with roots attached, her skin healed and you would never know. No surgery. We have an amazing immune system, and for some reason scientists refuse to do further research. Another woman had skin cancer on her hand. No way could that cancer be cut out effectively. She also applied black salve. The cancer under the skin was huge. It took 6 months for the eschar to fall away, but her immune system pushed that bunch of cells out beautifully. Her hand is perfect. Our bodies have the technology with its immune system. Black salve needs more research, its been used for centuries and many people are having incredible results where they would otherwise be surgically scarred, and the risk is only partial removal. God made our immune systems perfectly, and a solution is available. Follow the facebook groups people, and learn. .

    • @TheFimiTube
      @TheFimiTube 6 лет назад +3

      Yeah he is and there have already been cases reported where immune therapy has worked effectively against cancer.
      The issue with manipulating the immune system by disabling some of its immune response suppressing mechanisms, is that while it can make your body launch an immune response against a cancer that way, it can also make your body launch an attack against your own body cells (auto immune disease) as well. Your cells also use some of those mechanisms to prevent the immune system from shredding them. So disabling those mechanisms with drugs in your entire body can make your immune system go after healthy cells as well (auto immune disorder)
      In history, people that had AIDS also had a higher chance to develop cancer then someone who didn't have a weakened immune system. So from those statistics you can read out that the immune system (if not weakened) already goes after cancer in your body and kills it effectively. Its just that "other" cancer which has mutated a way to abuse immune response suppression.
      For that reason "Immunotherapy" is already beeing used in some cases but chemotherapy and radiation are still used a lot more often against cancer because they have proven more effective so far.
      However, still a lot of research is needed in this new idea against cancer. If all works out, all you would feel is typical "sickness" symptoms like fever, feeling tired, thirsty and after that cancer would be gone.
