John Kanzius invented a form of cancer treatment, as he was treated for his cancer

John Kanzius has developed a new, unique method of liberating the body of cancer cells. The entrepreneur and former radio technician has no formal experience as an inventor. But he did not build radios as a child.

The Kanzius invention
The old cancer patient decided to use his knowledge of radio waves. He built a machine to believe that radio waves, many researchers around the world can kill cancer cells.

John Kanzius, who died recently. But his work is performed by Dr. Steven Curley of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Kanzius theories "have been published in the journal Cancer in 2007. This article describes the Kanzius RF generator and gold nanoparticles. They are used to kill human cancer cells in the liver of rabbits. One hundred percent of the cancer cells were killed, with no known side effects the tested animals.

Kanzius used to live in Erie, Pennsylvania. In 2002 he retired to Sanibel, Florida. During his stay there he was found with a rare, incurable form of leukemia, a cancer of the bone marrow and blood. His chemotherapy made him sick and could not sleep.

A sleepless night, he built a radio-frequency generator to believe that radio waves by heating cancer cells could kill them. He tested his theory with a hot dog with a solution of copper sulphate, metal injected. The heated injection, while the rest remained the hot dog cool. This simple experiment tells him that his machine killing cancer cells without damaging other tissue.

Kanzius initially a prototype Kanzius RF device at his home. He started testing the Therm Med, LLC and market his invention. The device was successfully tested at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2005.

How it works
The machine works with living cells absorb electromagnetic fields at specific wavelengths. But there's more to this invention, use of metals such behavior. Metals absorb the energy much more efficiently than the cells they can warm themselves should. Kanzius reasons, the heat can kill the cancer if he could find a way to metal for the location of cancer cells.

"Dr. Steven Curley, and Dr. David Geller, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are excited about the Kanzius machine. They believe that the machine with nanoparticles provide a major breakthrough in cancer therapy." Richard Smalley, a Nobel physicist, combined with carbon nanotubes is proposed (it was discovered) to reach the cancer cells. When the nanoparticles can be linked to cancer sites, he reasoned, cancer cells or destroyed) in apoptosis (death. In the meantime, relatively healthy tissue intact.

Kanzius invention "is not yet ready for clinical trials in humans. The gold or carbon nanotubes must be designed to bind to cancer cells. It is particularly difficult, the spread of metastatic cancer cells nanotubes into the bloodstream to other parts of the body have attached .

Scientists in research on colorectal cancer provide work to target molecules. These molecules would raise to certain proteins found only in cancer cells.

Dr. Steven Curley, and Dr. David Geller, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are excited about the Kanzius machine. They believe that the machinery used in combination with nanoparticles, a major breakthrough in cancer therapy.

John Kanzius died of pneumonia February 18, 2009, in a hospital near his winter home. Pneumonia as a complication of the last two rounds of chemotherapy.
