A team of
Israeli scientists believes a cure for cancer is
within reach, even optimistically predicting that it will be found within a
year. But at least one expert in the U.S. has questioned the cure's legitimacy
and said it's more likely just another claim on a list of "irresponsible
and ultimately cruel false promises" for cancer patients.
“Of course, curing cancer is the goal of everyone who comes to work every day at a cancer center — and if this company does, in fact, cure cancer, they will have my congratulations and thanks,” Dr. Ben Neel, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, told Fox News via email. “But cancer is multiple diseases, and it is highly unlikely that this company has found a 'cure' for cancer anymore than there is a single cure for infections.”
The company,
Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd. (AEBi), has described the treatment,
MuTaTo, as comparable to a cancer antibiotic that uses a multipronged approach
similar to the treatment given to HIV patients. The team told the Post that their treatment is a multi-targeted
approach that uses a combination of several peptides for each cancer cell,
reportedly eliminating the chance to be evaded by a mutation.
“We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer,” Dan Aridor, of AEBi, told the Jerusalem Post.
The company's CEO,
Dr. Ilan Morad, said MuTaTo also works to target the cancer stem
cells, eliminating the chance for recurrence, with Aridor claiming that it will
be effective from "day one," and cause "no or minimal side
effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments."
“Our solution will be both generic and personal," Aridor said.
The treatment has
not been tested in humans yet, although Aridor said it has shown success in
mice trials and is nearing the stage of clinical trial. But Neel isn't biting.
“More likely, this claim is yet another in a long line of spurious, irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises for cancer patients,” he said.
So wrong ....SO WRONG....To put out false hope and claims. This hasn't even been studied on humans yet. Still in testing stages in mice. GEEZ. Irresponsible for them to have made such a statement.
ReplyDeleteActually the American Doctors are just afraid that this cure will rob them of all the money they are making from cancer so ofcourse they dont want the cure or to even hear of a cure. If they do find the cure, I wouldnt be suprised if it was suppressed.
