“They have also refined it to ignore healthy brain tissue and focus on the cancer cells.”
Uh, I feel like that should’ve already been covered by the first sentence. Kind of a weird “clarification” to make, and now I’m more worried about its effect on healthy brain tissue than without saying that part.
when my gram decided not to do chemo the hospice nurse basically explained to me that chemo is like your body playing a game of chicken against the cancer. basically making itself a really hostile place for anything that’s trying to grow rapidly and hoping that the cancer is destroyed before the rest of you.
They’re being a little oddly vague. It’s all about the amounts of each that they kill. Bleach cures cancer, it just kills the patient too. And there’s no such thing as “refining” something that used to kill healthy cells so that it doesn’t ever anymore. Maybe they found a variation of the chemical that is strongly biased towards killing cancerous cells but unless that was their targeting mechanism the whole time, they’re going to be killing some healthy cells too.
Ya I’m refining my bullet in the brain technique which is known to stop cancer cell growth within just MINUTES. I just need to refine it to ignore healthy brain tissue.
Bleach, guns, and flamethrowers also kill cancer cells. Killing cancer cells is easy. The challenge is killing cancer cells but not the very similar-looking healthy cells.

it’s not that strange, chemotherapy for example kills a lot of things that are not cancer
