In my experience after two rounds of chemotherapy and two surgeries for a grade 3 brain tumor, this is by far the easiest treatment. The worst is pulling the adhesive patch off. If anything, I feel like I have a boosted immune system.

What an innovative way to treat cancer and perhaps even cure it. Allows the body to take its own healing properties to treat cancer, which is a better alternative to some of thee treatments of the past. Who knows one day maybe this will be the common way in which to treat cancer instead of these evasive treatments,

Dr.  Gershenhorn I want to thank you for posting this video and for all your hard work and dedication to finding better cancer treatments.I was diagnosed in 2000 with squamous cell carcinoma in the lymph nodes in my neck. I went through Dr. Eric P. Lester's 12 week program of chemo and 60 radiation treatments. I am alive today because of him. he has since retired and I am very happy to find a doctor like you close enough to me if the need arises.Thank you for all you do.

Very informative and descriptive video! Cancer immunotherapy do not target cancer cells, but do activate the immune system, so it is very innovative that it can be applied to a variety of carcinomas.

Very interesting. Dr. Bruce Gershenhorn seems like a great doctor and great person, you can tell he really cares about this. This is really an exciting new area of cancer treatment. I want to also mention the topic of psychoneuroimmunology and the mind-body connection. Dr. Gabor Mate writes a lot about it. I think that the mind-body connection is a really big piece of this whole puzzle that can't be left out.

Does anyone know why my daughter's immune system attacked her pancreas when she was about 4 yrs old causing her to become a type 1 diabetic? She's insulin dependent the rest of her life....3-4 self-injections a day. Some believe it stems from too many vaccinations at once when kids are very young. The immune system can be your friend... and also your enemy.
