Re: Blood Cancer Cell Electroporation at Virginia Tech

[Guest guest]

Thanks ...also please don't be afraid of the garlic issue. It really is

of little consequence excpet in the rarest of rare cases when the person " may "

have an allergic reaction to garlic. It is certainly not life threatening.

I would not speak for Russ here, but... in my experience, a person with hep-c

took chemo while blood electrifying...you would shudder, right? Complete

remission, fully tested, in only a month. With chemo alone it would have taken

more than twice as long. His doctor was blown away. Ok, so what about the

horrible side effects from electrifying bloodstream while taking the most

powerful drugs around? Nothing. Further, he was the only one out of 18 people

trying blood electrification on hep-c who did get a full remission. You can

always go real slow and monitor things. Don't be so fast to believe someone

about stuff when it's so easy to test it yourself. That is, if you put your

life at a high value. I sometimes wonder.
