Cancer cured by HIV

[ElNono]

New leukemia treatment exceeds 'wildest expectations'

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty damn amazing. As the podcast I heard it on pointed out though - isn't this how I am Legend started?

That is exactly what i first thought of

[LnGrrrR]

Ha! Take that you f'ing virus! We'll use you to cure cancer! BWAHAHAHA!

[vy65]

Wait. This wasn't a joke?

[SA210]

wow

[Trainwreck2100]

yes let's make smarter HIV, cause that has no possibility of ing us over

No ! Jumped at me too.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Not sure what to think of this. Very interesting stuff, though

[ElNono]

My uncle was 'devoured' by leukemia in a little over a year, about 5 years ago. It's really an awful condition, and any development for a cure is welcome news.

[Trainwreck2100]

I can just imagine the attempt to get funding for this

"you wanna cure cancer with AIDS?"

[Trainwreck2100]

Magic Johnson's probably like " yeah i can't get cancer"

[Wild Cobra]

I heard that people were cured last night on the radio. Thanx for the details. I wonder if a variety will kill all forms of cancer.

What if...

AIDS was a result of a failed cancer experiment years ago?

[MannyIsGod]

Oh jesus here we go.

HIV and AIDS are not the same thing, but I see your point.

Not cancer...polio experiments in the Belgian Congo in the late 1950's. Look up Hilary Kaprowski.

Been debunked, bro..sorry...even Koprowski said it wasn't the case..

Of course Koprowski would deny it...who wants to claim credit for the biggest tragedy of the 20th century?

Here's something not from wikipedia, written by a journalist who's investigated the case for over 20 years:

btw, the accepted explanation of the origin of aids by the scientific community is the bushmeat theory. Basically it says that hunters in africa contracted HIV/SIV from chimps while eating them/cutting them up. That's cool and all--but if it were true then HIV/AIDS would've shown up hundreds of years ago--but there's obviously no evidence of that.

There would have to be significant genetic similarities. That is not the case. Back then, genetics wasn't known so well. Today, we know that theory is wrong.

[boutons_deux]

These cancers were cured not by HIV but by genetic engineering of the patients' white blood cells so the immune system would attack the cancer cells as foreign rather than recognize them as endogenous.

This has been the dream of immunologists for several years.

It will be a dream for cancer patients for many, many years.

btw, provenge is another immunological treatment. $90K+ for adding 4 months of life.
