And Now For Something Totally Different...
Although unrelated to this website, I wanted to post this link for people whose lives have been touched
by cancer. There is some amazingly promising, yet relatively unheard of technology in the works that is
being hailed as a potential cancer cure, and it was all started by the late John Kanzius, a man who just
recently succumbed to his own battle with the disease. The researchers who carry the torch are
working to bring this new treatment to human trials within the next few years, having already started
meetings with the FDA. But they need help spreading the word, and getting the funding needed to
speed the research and make this treatment a reality. Please consider supporting them with this fight.
For more information, check out the video posted below, and get the full story at the Kanzius Cancer
Research Foundation website: http://www.kanziuscancerresearch.com/index.php. We also suggest
checking out this recent news story which is now posted on YouTube. Click here to watch.
