>All of that and with every visit I felt like I was visiting a shrink instead of a renowned oncologist that was more pained by my prospects than I was. I can only guess that this is because he sees it, watches people die despite his best efforts. There is a better way, BSD has that better way and all we can really do is wait for it. If BSD fails, it will not be because of the equipment... It is always difficult to get people to understand how incredible the equipment is because the “investment” community in general is so enamored with quick scores and fails to understand what they are investing in.<

And, as I keep harping, the investment community – most doctors I have talked to, as well – fail to understand the scope of heat-therapy; microwave heating, that is, because it is the best frequency band for precisely heating small or large volumes inside the body. These frequencies (a fairly large range, to cover all tumor types and locations) allow the heating to be sort of “snuck” in and concentrated tightly in tumors – without significantly heating the rest of the body. Really slick! -- almost magical.

Cancer therapy news is almost always about some small advance in treating a single type of cancer. But, sufficient heating kills all biological tissue; it is not type specific. And, unlike, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, its killing is complete! In contrast, radiotherapy tends to be, literally, a hit or miss treatment: it is difficult to destroy each and every cell, because it is like using tiny bullets to hit each and every cell (a statistical challenge with questionable outcome). Also, much healthy tissue is subject to the same destructive (and possibly cancer producing) hail of “bullets”. As for chemotherapy, this technique also tends to leave live cancerous tissue (perhaps toughened by its very survival!) – while nearly killing the patient, as well. With sufficiently advanced technology (a done deal!), microwave heating is undeniably the outstanding method for killing tumors – and, as an adjuvant, it enhances the established methods of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Further, microwave heating provides an important new method for drug delivery to tumors, as well.

I know that you understand what I am harping about. But, only a tiny percentage of people – even among doctors, I believe -- yet understand that microwave heating is, and proven so, a major breakthrough in therapy for all (?) cancers. That this technology is dominated by a tiny company, recognized by very few, is IMO an investors dream!!!

As for the timing aspect re BSDM, yes it has been a cruel wait – with several large jumps in price, only to lose them later. But, I see several things that say the wait is all but over. In particular, the MTX-180 is so outstanding it promises to “break the ice”. I think we will soon get another news-release that reveals sharply increasing revenues from the MTX-180 product line. We have already had two such announcements, and I believe the next one will be convincing re more-or-less immediate profitability. The sizes of the markets to grow into -- and, I believe, dominate -- total up to very many $billions/yr.
