Abracadabra! Nanoparticles Make Cancer Cells Rise

July 31, 2008 -- By binding magnetic nanoparticles to human ovarian cancer cells, researchers at Georgia Tech can make the cancerous cells rise to the skin surface by simply passing a magnet over them.

The research could be used to identify and remove not only against ovarian cancer cells, but also other cancer cells, bacteria and viruses.

"In principle this technique could be applied to any pathogen that is found in the blood stream," said John McDonald, a scientist at Georgia Tech and coauthor of the paper that appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Very interesting and innovative indeed! Could this finally be the method medicine has been looking for to prevent deaths from cancer?

Assuming they can do this (and I hope they can) on an 'industrial scale' Big Pharma is going to be posting gigantic losses in the area of cancer treatment medication.

That alone could make them lobby like crazy to make sure this never becomes a treatment option. If that doesn't work, they'll call their kissing cousins in the Health Insurance Industry to make sure the pricing on it is beyond astronomical!

This is incredible, I'm reading about cancer-fighting breakthroughs every day. Though I'm a bit more interested in the intracellular aspects of cancer, every little breakthrough brings hope and inspiration.

This is one of mankind's greatest endeavors, like the rest of medicine.

If any of you are familiar with my writings, you would know that everything in the universe is made of magnets.

Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons are all mini magnets.

Keeping that in mind, you can explain all scientific phenomena natural and supernatural, and cure all sickness.



These guys are just now catching up.

Yes, that may be; however, the key element here is the nanoparticles. Without those, the magnet would have no measurable affect on the cancer cells.

I don't get this.

Big Pharam will just divert their marketing of cancer treatment drugs to nano-tech.

Let's say I'm an average American eating unhealthy and not exercising at all. I would need this treatment what... 4, 5, maybe 10 times in my now much longer life span.

Oh yeah, and now that means BigPharma can cell me viagra, tylenol, etc much longer as well.


It is in the BEST INTEREST of BigPharma to cure cancer. Otherwise, their customres die off too quick.

Ah, maybe you're right. I don't know how much chemotherapy and whatnot costs, I figured that was their big money-maker and wouldn't want it disturbed. But for all we know Big Pharma owns everything anyway, including the nano-chemical engineering companies.

Interesting what they are talking about is also what an -alien implant- could do to heal cells.

I don't see the implant because its doing things beyond what you can see.

There have been so many different "cures" for cancer, and one by one, they all disappear.

Large pharmaceutical companies aren't going to let there be a cure for cancer, unless you have to constantly take that cure for the rest of your life, and shell out a fortune per dose.

Pharmaceutical companies are in the business of making money, not curing you. Curing you doesn't make you a repeat customer.

Not exactly... but you are correct that the magnetic nanoparticles made the cancer more magnetic.

See:
en.wikipedia.org...

Some well-known materials that exhibit easily detectable magnetic properties (called magnets) are nickel, iron, cobalt, and their alloys; however, all materials are influenced to greater or lesser degree by the presence of a magnetic field.

However, ALL matter is influenced to a greater or lesser degree by magnetism. The nanoparticles just make the cancer more magnetic then normal.

You know those magnetic healing bracelets? They actually help strengthen your joints, and help arthritis. They are no joke. Humans are made of magnetic force.

Light and matter is ALL electromagnetic radiation.

ALL is 0ne giant collection of magnetic particles.

I do not believe that the source for this ever said this was a cure; rather, it appears to be a method of picking up any "free radicals" or cancer cells that may be coursing throughout the body. The cancerous mass would still be removed surgically. A continued regime of nanoparticles would be the method to prevent future "masses" from developing; however, the body would likely continue to create the cancer cells...thus the continued need for this treatment.
