Subject: BS: Cancer - New Therapy
I spent a fair time trying to find links for this. Hope someone else might be able to do so.

I was watching the ATV Evening News from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was also sorting income tax stuff, so I missed the info for links.

In a very sketchy nutshell, a lab in The Maritimes has developed a drug therapy that reverses cancers and eradicates cancer cells that have (forgive my lack of knowledge and terminology) spread to other parts of the body. They have made a "vaccine" that is delivered based in an oil. One injection only. The success rate in lab tests on animals has been 100%. They have applied to the Canuck Federal Government to begin clinical trials on humans. They say that it will be available within 5 to 8 years.

The research began 20 years ago as birth control for the seal population on Sable Island. It was successful and the technology is now used in such places as Hong Kong to control the monkey population.

My only hope is that because it was funded by the Canuck Government, it remains under their control... so that it is made available with profit greed.
