CBS) John Kanzius invented a machine that includes radio waves, he thought that one day cure cancer. He got cancer researchers so excited, some are already testing it on animals.
When hit, the 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl first Kanzius, he said he had no knowledge of science and medicine, he did not even graduate college.
What he had a deadly form of leukemia and determination, all the time remaining to a better way to find used to treat the disease.
With his wife's pie pans and what he knew best - Radios - Kanzius, a framework Radio Yugoslavia, has built a machine in his garage that he hoped to zap cancer cells without the terrible side effects you get with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
To keep track 60 minutes decided to Kanzius and his invention, if we followed more than a year ago when he had to accelerate the research on his computer and fought to slow his own illness who killed him.
When steel Kanzius met first in January 2008 he completed his 36th Cycle of chemotherapy, as diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Everything that had the chemo to keep him alive, barely.
According to him, the leukemia was to get him mentally and physically. "And I do not think that we could feel this bad and still be alive as I said in January.
But we were surprised at how healthy he looked seven months later, visited in August 2008, when we are with him and his wife, Marianne, at their home in Erie, Pennsylvania
"I must say you look like someone completely different for me." They look strong. And you have put on weight, I rather have? "Said Steel.
"You're right answer to all of them," Kanzius.
He told Steel he felt "great."
So great, he had spent the summer outside doing what he could not, since he was diagnosed with cancer six years ago, like playing 18-hole golf per day. What happened?
"I decided it was time to try the switch on again ... try to treat me," he said. "Returned adapted to the machine, and turned for a minute for the first time. And [i] feel something strange."
It has been transformed into a Human Guinea Pig.
"I did it nine times," Kanzius told Stahl. "Nine times, and my blood work has improved throughout the summer. We are on vacation now with cancer, I do not know if it is to leave a permanent, but we are now on vacation.
"Now that you feel comfortable, you're good, you look good, you have an ongoing concern that this is too good to be true such a thing?" Stahl asked.
"Sure. I mean, one wonders if the bubble will burst," Kanzius acknowledged.
Thus, even if he had a good feeling for a while, he admitted that there is always the fear that the disease could take a turn for the worse. "The disease is inexorable. He just keeps pushing and pressing and pushing."
He said that the fury of leukemia Kanzius that brought the idea to his machine using radio waves to build in the first place. If 60 minutes met him at the time, he pointed to transmit radio waves, such as steel - by a small field - creates enough energy to a fluorescent lamp.
During the movement of a fluorescent lamp in the force field, lit the lamp.
He wanted us to show that the radio waves are harmless to humans, and even the hand to move back and forth in the force field. "Nothing happened," he told Stahl.
But he knew that radio waves can heat up metal. Then he asked himself if he injected a tumor with a kind of metal, not radio waves heat the metal and cook cancer to death, and only the cancer cells? He tried on a hot dog, injected with a solution of metal.
He took a probe and an injection site on the Hot-Dog-placed. When he turned on the camera, the temperature rose in this one area in which the metal and had nowhere else.
Kanzius thought he had a way to cancer cells without collateral damage detected by conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy induced attack. I said, 'Eureka, I've done, "recalls Kanzius.
He managed to intrigue Dr. Steven Curley, a liver cancer surgeon at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Dr. Curley thought there were so many promises in the Kanzius invention ", he began conducting his own research with the machine, with small pieces of gold nano-particles are so small that thousands of them can be injected in a single cancer cell . The radio waves then heat the gold, the cancer kills them. But Kanzius was not happy with all the necessary time to Curley clinical trials on humans, and spend the usual approval by the FDA.
