        Great story. I hope it is true and not buried somewhere in the desert.

        Many comments too. I like this one the best:

        This research is not funded because pharmaceutical companies stand to make more money on patients who received treatment for years, as opposed to a patient receiving one shot and going into remissions. That is the answer.

                        thanks Jake for posting this. It sounds a bit like the TIL process that NCI does for Melanoma except for one thing they have established a way to multiply the number of white blood cells in your body! not in the Lab. Come on Scientists share the knowledge imagine how successful TIL would be if your white cells kept multiplying within your body!

                        Maybe i misread the article but this is monumental stuff but with all science it must be tested on a larger audience.best wishes

                              Anytime James. It seems like an incredible breakthrough. Time will tell.
