Alternative Cancer Treatment Going Conventional?

Today in the Washington Post it was announced that the National Institute of Health was launching a Cancer Genome Project. If you click our post title, you will be able to read the whole article from the Washington Post it is interesting reading.

We have been blogging in the last several days about the use of specialized chemotherapies that target specific cancer types that are being used with great success right now in Germany and we were greatly interested in seeing that the National Institute of Health is embracing the research technology behind some of these advances. It appears that this alternative cancer treatment is going mainstream! In fact we blogged on Monday about BioFocus and their work on categorizing the cancer genome into a database in Europe. Exciting research is going on with BioFocus and several leading cancer clinics in Germany and Europe are already using these innovative treatment.

Why is it that your think the United States has fallen behind in this type of research and is just now embracing a technology that has worked over sears? Feel free to add a comment to our blog about your thoughts on this topic.

You know I read this in the Post too. Did you also know that the NIH is also testing a vaccine for Melanoma as well. It is mentioned as a treatment in the DVD that you are selling. I asked my specialist at John Hopkins about it and he said that so far the results have been good. It is interesting that treatments that were once considered only alternative are now seeming to be embraced by the mainstream.
