Polio virus is a good thing!

Some amazing things are happening in cancer research these days. Heard this treatment has also met with success against other forms of cancer too!

I saw that on 60 minutes. Fascinating. Is there really a silver bullet cure for cancer in the works? it appears so.

If so, this gentleman should be on the dollar bill

I saw it on 60 minutes too. i remember when my wife was going through treatment and how hard it was on her body. When the doctor told her he expected to see something like this within twenty years neither of us could believe it. Treatment then seemed so barbaric and behind the times we thought surely it would take a lot more than it did to come up with something like this. This more promising than anything we could have imagined back then, if its not the silver bullet I got a feeling now its going to lead to one sooner rather than later.

It's worth noting that the "Polio" term is a little misleading, it's actually a modified polio virus, so it cannot be the polio that damages the human body.

As long as the virus is programed not to reproduce, this method is safe and sound.
Better to have frequent injections than let the virus reproduce. Not dangerous on it's own, but a random mutation might make the strain a bigger threat than cure.
