[Leica] My wife - thanks!

[summarex at hotmail.com (Javier Perez)]

Hi EveryoneI hope your wife gets better and stays cured. Ask the doctors 
about genetically targeted inmuno therapy. It seems to be the only thing 
that shows any promise. They take a sample of your blood and use it to 
create cancer killing cells designed specifically for your cancer, or 
something like that. There are many types of this kind of therapy. But last 
year some school or university in Canada did a small experiment and they 
were able to obtain nearly 100 percent remissions for the types of cancer 
they were researching, even with the metastatic ones. Six months after the 
study none of them had relapsed. I can't remember the name of the place but 
I read about it in an article on the cbsnews website in the summer of last 
year.  This is NOT alternative medicine BTW. It's the real thing. I tried to 
get soemthing like that for my father but unfortunately he wound up getting 
the half assed there's nothing we can do approach that people get from NYP 
here in NYC. Whenever they cure anybody of anything they force them to make 
black and white TV commercials.LaterJavier
