Just had to reply... I just went thru losing my father from lung Cancer. At the first indication I went on a research binge into trying to save his life. My research found that a Russian Dr. many years ago had already did just what this new finding is trying to do. Starve the lifeline for the tumor. The one thing that it needs to survive the blood and nutirents of its host. This Dr. was called a quack by the so called establishment of normal conservative Dr. in this country and others. All the while people who were lucky enough to be treated by his witch Dr. potions were coughing up tumor pieces as the tumor slowly died. His remedy was classified as holistic or nontraditional. There were so many who challenged his approach that you had to go to mexico or some carribbiean Island to get his treatment which has worked. In my fathers case he was already to sick to get treated by the time the Dr. found the tumors. I just wanted to vent since I had some feeling about this subject. So I hope that people donot give up on this becouse it has alot of merit and will be the cure one day soon.

>> In addition, while there have been tons of very positive animal tests before, I have never read of any that showed a 100% elimination of cancer in the tested animals. << And you still haven't. According to today's WSJ, referring to the original EntreMed paper in Nature, the protein fragement "held the remaining small number of cancer cells indefinitely in a dormant state." Meaning one has to take the drug forever to keep the cancer from coming back. Oh yeah, the original discoverer works at Harvard and Boston Children's Hospital, and is not a listed shareholder of EntreMed. If this is the breakthrough the hype says it is, it'll take decades to resolve all the fights over ownership. No tulips for me, thank you. Anyone wanna talk about lasers? Katherine
