New medical technique punches holes in cells, could treat tumors

This could be done easily on CANCERS..cheaply...but will get suppressed...AGAIN...

as no drugs involved...

They used ultrasound imaging to guide the 18 gauge stainless steel electrodes to target areas in the pigs' livers. The researchers applied 2,500 volts in eight 100-microsecond pulses spaced 100 microseconds apart to create lesions in the livers. They found that the lesions were immediately apparent as dark spots on the ultrasound images, giving real-time feedback during the procedure. The livers were then examined 24 hours, three days, seven days and 14 days after surgery.

"All of the vessels, down to the microvasculature, remain intact with IRE treatment, so the healing process is amazing," said Onik, who performed the surgery for the study. "Where it might take a year for a cryosurgery lesion to resolve, IRE lesions resolved in two weeks. That has major implications in terms of monitoring what you're doing and knowing that the cancer has been killed."

thanx for link, interesting treatment! easily copied, too

In any case it occurs to me you could use piezoelectric igniters to cure cancer...

they produce very short high voltage pulses....

just imagine.

you can get low voltage piezoelectric igniters from cigerate lighters....
they produce a weak spark....you can get 10 for $1.


higher and more powerful ones costing $10 used are used for gas heater fires...

you can steal one from an abandoned gas fire in the dump or street if you have spent all your money on Macdonalds.

by attaching electrodes e.g needles you could insert these needles into cancerous tissue and fire the dozen or so pulses to cause electroporation...
remember the voltage should be in the range given on the website...

a series variable resistor could be used to attenuate the voltage to the required level easily...

just imagine a home made cancer treatment...

ANYONE THINKING OF DOING THIS SHOULD CONSULT A REGISTERED HEALTH PRACTITIONER AND ALWAYS SHOULD GET A DOCTOR TO CHECK THEM OUT PROPERLY.


ANY EXPERIMENTS SUCH AS THE ABOVE SHOULD BE ONLY DONE AFTER DISCUSSING WITH A REGISTERED DOCTOR.

ESECALLUM ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SUCCESS/FAILURE OF ANY SUCH EXPERIMENTS.

We have dosens of different ways of killing cancer cells. The problem, as with this technuique, is to hit only cancercells.
