Perhaps a program for the following info can be found at a local teaching hospital?
- Regarding this BBC News report, October 10, 2004........
- For more than a century a small group of researchers, including myself, have implicated bacteria in cancer (see my book, THE CANCER MICROBE, Aries Rising Press). Now it turns out that a common antibiotic -- doxycycline -- can turn off a gene in mice that leads to liver cancer.
- Let's hope it doesn't take another century for scientists and physicians to follow up on this, and to explain why they keep ignoring cancer-causing bacteria. For more information on "cancer microbes" -- go to google.com and type in those exact words.

- Scientists have shown that a common antibiotic can turn off cancer cells in mice, offering hope of new treatments for cancer patients.
- The antibiotic worked by turning off a gene called Myc, which is known to trigger cancer.
- Mice remained cancer free for as long as they took the drug. When it was stopped they developed liver cancer, the Stanford University team found.
- Cancer experts said the Nature study held promise for human cancer drugs.
- Cancer Switch
- The findings might also apply to cancers of the breast, bowel and prostate, the researchers hope.
- This is because all of these cancers, as well as liver cancer, begin in cells that line the body called epithelial cells.
- According to Cancer Research UK, the gene may contribute to as many as one in seven cancer deaths.
- The Stanford scientists studied mice whose liver cells had been altered to carry a modified Myc gene known to cause cancer.
- Myc controls cell division. Unlike the normal version of the gene, the modified version stayed permanently switched on, meaning cells were constantly dividing and some became cancerous.
- Feeding the mice the antibiotic doxycyline turned the faulty Myc gene off so cancer growth was blocked.
- When the researchers stopped the doxycycline the mice developed aggressive liver cancer.
- Reintroducing doxycycline into their feed not only turned Myc back off, blocking further cancer growth, but it also turned the cancer cells back to normal.
- Reversing Cancer
- Lead researcher Dr Dean Felsher said: "The exciting thing is you can turn cancer cells into something that appears to be normal."
- But he said even though the cells looked normal, they still had the ability to become cancerous if the antibiotic were to be stopped.
- This could explain why some cancers come back after people have had chemotherapy, he said.
- "This is a terrible cancer. Anything that is encouraging in liver cancer may be important," he said.
- Dr Elaine Vickers, science information officer for Cancer Research UK, said: "The Myc gene is known to be overactive in many types of cancer.
- "Estimates suggest that the gene may contribute to as many as one in seven cancer deaths.
- "This research is very interesting.
- "It adds to the weight of evidence suggesting that drugs blocking Myc might be effective cancer treatments in the future."

JGNAT, I think I've heard about the anti-biotic Frannie Bananie mentioned. There is so much more than surgery that can be done these days. I have one young friend in her 20s who is in remission from her cancer right now. She has been well for over 6 months. But of course every case is different. Definitely get to the nearest teaching hospital, they won't be afraid of the new ideas. Hugs to you and your stepMom, Panda
