ok - now - anyone got any suggestions on where or what to hook the
electrodes to??
=============
Scientists from Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical
School say they've killed melanomas in mice using high-powered jolts of
electricity.
Using extremely short, high-voltage doses of electricity, the
researchers told the Virginian-Pilot they've never had a tumor that did
not respond to the treatment.
Richard Nuccitelli, associate professor of electrical and computer
engineering at Old Dominion, said the method might eventually turn into
an effective cancer treatment.
The electric bursts often disrupted the blood flow to the tumor cells
and shrunk their nuclei by 50 percent, Nuccitelli said.
The tumors died after two or three weeks of treatments, each session
involving hundreds of electrical pulses, each less than one-one
millionth of a second and carrying 4,000 volts.
Nuccitelli told the Virginian-Pilot he and his colleagues believe the
process works by severely damaging DNA in the cells.
The treatment produced no scarring and did not harm adjacent cells. All
of the research mice survived, with no ill effects.
The scientists said additional research will be needed before they can
experiment on people.
The research is to appear online Wednesday in the journal Biochemical
and Biophysical Research

Of course, the MICE died the second day ...

Walking around for three weeks with wires running up willie, and dragging
around a 4kV generator or a Tesla coil, could be even more inconvenient than
a few days with a catheter.
And try explaining it to an airport screener!

I think I'd be willing to stay home for this.
The tough part is probably hooking the wires up to each individual
tumor cell.
Wait! I've got an idea! They can cut out the tumor and then hook
up the wires. Then they can't miss.

i personally think this is where urine therapy would come into play.
after pouring it over your body and giving yourself a nice fresh urine
enema, you could then attach the wires to what ever body part you think
will work and throw the switch. and it would probably get rid of those
pesky cancer tumors.
oh, if it doesn't work the first time, remember to put more salt on
your food and wait longer to make the urine more concentrated of urine
salts. that is THE key for a good effective kill....... of the
tumors....... ???
after all, it killed the tumors in the mice didn't it.... and the mice
too, but hey, let's not sweat the small stuff....

Whatever!
It's just another way to skin a cat.
All you have to do is turn the whole Prostate into one large blister,
killing all cell tissue, and then hope it will all grow back healthy.
We already have several means of doing this, with varying nasty SEs.
As for seeking out a Tumour and destroying it. that's a load of crap,
When you see a cross-section of a post-op path sample and observe the
marbled Tumour deposits, like globs of fat in a slice of Salami.

Me too. I was 9 or 10 and we were on a long trip. My dad took me across
some railroad tracks where my sister couldn't see us and .... OUCH!!!!
It was the first shrinkage I experienced. The second was RRP.

I don't know if this is apocryphal or not but I recall a story about a

About 5 years ago I was involved with some NY Transit work and during the
safety classes there were a couple of colorful admonishments regarding
peeing on the third rail, nuff said, no one challenged that rule.
