Inventor John Kanzius has come up with a way to kill cancer cells using
radio waves that heat and kill targeted cancer cells. Here's how it works:
A patient is injected with tiny metal nano-particles, which are carried
through the bloodstream by a targeting molecule and attach only to
cancerous cells. The patient is then exposed to an energy field created by
radio waves; the nano-particles generate enough heat to destroy their
cancerous host cell. The patient feels nothing at all.
The big challenge is targeted cancer cells. Kanzius thinks he solved that
by using nano-particles as receivers.
Says Dr. Steven Curley, a surgical oncologist and cancer researcher at MD
Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, "This has the most fascinating
potential I've seen in anything in my twenty years of cancer research."
Kanzius and Curley are raising more money for testing and study. I really
like Kanzius. I think he's onto something.

Radio
Wave Invention Shows Promise In Treating CancerDoctors Excited About Use Of Radio Waves
UPDATED: 4:40 pm EST November 28, 2005
       
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- More than
1.3 million people will get cancer this year, and 570,000 will die from it.
A man with no medical training whatsoever may be on the right track for treating the disease, reported WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach. John Kanzius and his wife, Marianne, retired to Sanibel Island, Fla., in 2002, but any thoughts of a relaxing retirement were postponed six months later, when Kanzius was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. He was 58 when he was diagnosed and decided he would fight the good fight, but felt he had lived a full life. "There's nothing good about today's modern treatment for cancer," said Kanzius. What disturbed him was watching young cancer patients struggle. "You could see the life go out of their bodies," he said. While undergoing chemotherapy, he endured a lot of sleepless nights. It was during this period of prolonged insomnia that the former broadcasting executive had a new mission. Although he wasn't naive enough to think he could cure cancer, Kanzius felt maybe something in his engineering background would come in handy. As a former owner of radio and television stations, Kanzius had a lot of electronic equipment around the house. "I began one night trying to see if I could transmit high-energy waves through a short space," he said. Kanzius told his friend, Dr. Robert McDonald, of Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center in Fort Myers, about cutting up his wife's pie pans to help send radio waves from point A to point B. "He said he was able to cook hot dogs using this, and I was blown away," McDonald said. Kanzius continued to fine-tune his work to see if the radio waves could be targeted to attack specific cells. He discovered that neighboring cells were unaffected. He now now holds seven patents on his technology. In recent months, Kanzius' work has gotten the attention of some very important researchers who believe he's on to something big. At the University of Pittsbrugh Medical Center, the first Kanzius protoype is being used by Dr. David Geller, who is testing the radiowave theory on lab rats with tumors. "I think this has potential to be cutting-edge technology; it's certainly novel," said Geller. "There's nothing out there like it." UPMC isn't the only place working with Kanzius' invention. Dr. Steven Curley is a program director at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where Kanzius underwent treatment. "Current radiofrequency treatment requires literally sticking a needle or needles into tumors and turning on an electrical current that will heat the tumor slowly," Curley said. Curley sees two major advantages with the invention. "First, it's external and noninvasive -- no needles placed in the tumor or the body. Second, it would allow us to treat tumors much more rapidly than current equipment allows us to use," he said. "The ability to noninvasively treat somebody is truly the holy grail of cancer." Curley's team has ordered two of Kanzius' prototypes to begin testing on pigs and rabbits. Preliminary data should be available within the next few weeks, and if it lines up, tests could begin on humans within two years, pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Kanzius said it's been amazing that the medical field has come to him and he hasn't had to beg for government funding. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., spearheaded a $200,000 grant to test Kanzius' invention. "This new idea for treating cancer sounds innovative and very, very promising," said Specter. Kanzius said the momentum from his idea has snowballed and is now a full-fledged avalanche. "To think that two to three years from now, I might be able to watch somebody that's been treated and have a doctor say to that person, 'You've been cured' -- that would be all I'm looking for," said Kanzius. As for his own health, Kanzius said his cancer is in remission. |

Patient becomes
unlikely inventor of cancer-fighting technology
Sunday, July 25, 2004
During sleepless nights caused by the steroids he was taking during
cancer chemotherapy, John Kanzius decided to use his drug-induced insomnia
wisely.
He spent the wee hours at his computer, studying the structure of normal cells and how they differed from cancer cells. He became fluent in cancer biology, including his own rare B-cell form of leukemia, and eventually amassed 100 pounds of medical research. Then he went one step further. Drawing on his background in electronics and his knack for solving problems, Kanzius, 60, developed a possible method for treating cancer with radio waves. A former partner in an Erie broadcasting company, Kanzius said he was particularly hopeful that his 15-month scientific odyssey had produced a cancer therapy that will have a minimum of harmful side effects. "I didn't wake up one day to see if I could cure cancer," he said. "I just woke up one day hoping to reduce the suffering." As of yet, Kanzius' method has not been tested in animals, much less proven to work, and it could be years before researchers would be ready to try using the therapy in human patients or to seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration. But the invention has attracted interest and praise from the small group of doctors who are aware of it. Kanzius also says some biotech firms have expressed interest in financing its development, though he wouldn't name them. He applied in May for a patent on his invention, which combines a device for focusing radio waves on cancer cells with an as-yet undisclosed technique for sensitizing cancer cells to the effects of radio frequency radiation. He said his attorneys had cautioned him against revealing details of his invention until the patent is approved. But doctors who have reviewed it under confidentiality agreements are enthusiastic about Kanzius' unlikely creation. One of them, Dr. Robert J. McDonald, director of nuclear medicine at the Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center in Fort Myers, Fla., said the invention was "absolutely amazing" and "pretty incredible." And Dr. Jan Rothman, an oncologist and hematologist at the Erie Regional Cancer Center, agreed his former patient's creation "has great potential." Dr. David A. Geller, co-director of the Liver Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said the invention had potential as a breakthrough if tests confirm that it works. That commercial firms are interested in developing it is an achievement in itself. The real story, McDonald insists, is how Kanzius, without a degree in electrical engineering and without a medical background, came up with a treatment of such promise. "John is onto something very, very big," said McDonald, who became a friend of Kanzius' and has swapped ideas about cancer therapy while fishing with him. It's inconceivable, he said, for "someone with his background to come up with this. This is a movie." Medicine vs.
electronics After graduating in 1962 from Trinity Area High School in North Franklin, he earned a technical degree from the Allegheny Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. He landed a job with RCA in Washington County while he pursued an electrical engineering degree at the University of Pittsburgh. His plans soon changed, he said, after RCA assigned him to a project to solve signal distortion problems in television transmitters that had puzzled company engineers for years. It took Kanzius a half hour to solve the problem with a 10-cent part. RCA officials quickly upgraded Kanzius to special assistant and troubleshooter, sending him across the country to solve problems with radio and television transmitters. With his electronic expertise established, he joined Jet Broadcasting Co. Inc. in 1966, becoming a partner in 1982, then president in 1983. Jet owned the ABC television station WJET and two radio stations in Erie, with affiliate companies that owned stations in Pittsburgh; Youngstown, Ohio; and San Antonio. But he decided to end his broadcast career after he was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2002. He sold his stations, the last one in November, and retired to focus on his health. "If something was abnormal, I'd look it up in medical books," he said of his condition. "I could pick up my blood tests and know what I was looking at." But it took a while before doctors knew the precise type of leukemia he had. He underwent chemotherapy in Erie for six months but suffered a relapse. Next, he went to the Cleveland Clinic and underwent an unsuccessful experimental treatment at Ohio State University. At wit's end, he sent an e-mail to Dr. Michael Keating, a leukemia expert at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "I hope your eyes see this e-mail," Kanzius wrote, hoping to persuade Keating to review his medical records and give him a diagnosis. Keating agreed and ultimately diagnosed rare B-cell leukemia. "I think I can cure you," Keating told him. He prescribed an aggressive chemotherapy regimen that Kanzius underwent in Erie and Florida. He met McDonald when he was in Florida for a PET scan. By then, Kanzius had witnessed a parade of sad, sickened, fatigued patients going through the brutal treatment routine. "You see 2-year-old kids hoping to make it to 5," he said. And he recalled watching his mother and other relatives die of cancer. He was appalled by the suffering caused by not just the disease, but by chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It left him with a thought: "There must be some way to improve this." Troubleshooter Already schooled in cancer basics, and still undergoing chemotherapy, he turned to what he knew best: Trusty radio waves. Kanzius knew that metals exposed to radio or television transmitters heated up. And, it turned out, the idea of using radio waves to heat and kill cancer cells is nothing new: A technique called radio frequency ablation has been widely used for the past five years to treat inoperable liver tumors and might also prove effective against such tumors as prostate, lung and bone. But while radio frequency ablation requires placing needle-like electrodes directly into the tumor, Kanzius was convinced that the invasive procedure could be eliminated. Kanzius designed a complex transmitter that could focus radio waves of different modulations and multiple frequencies on tumors. While that alone might be a valuable tool, he decided to try to go further and find a way of targeting cancer cells to make them more vulnerable to radio waves. The ability to treat cancer cells while avoiding damage to healthy cells has been the Holy Grail of cancer therapy for generations. Kanzius won't detail his technology while his patent is pending. "All of these technological components already exist," he said. "I took a bunch of technology, the best of all of them, and made a marriage of them. "I enhance cancer cells to accept radio waves -- absorb the heat without collateral damage," Kanzius said. "The tumor gets nothing more than 8 degrees above normal." Kanzius tested his invention, burning holes through steaks and organs and refining the equipment's precision and temperature control. Geller, who uses radio frequency ablation routinely at UPMC, said Kanzius' technique would be an advance if it could eliminate the need to surgically place electrodes in tumors. How broadly the technique might be used on liver tumors and other cancers will depend on further refinement of the radio wave device and animal testing of the cancer-targeting technique, he said. "This could be a revolutionary breakthrough," Geller said. "He's proven the basic concepts." Geller said he was interested in working with Kanzius to further develop the method so that it can be used in human patients. "I would hope UPMC would be the first medical center that would look forward to testing it on animals and do the first clinical trials," he said. Rothman, the Erie oncologist, said Kanzius' method offered many advantages. It's simple and inexpensive without side effects or quality-of-life reductions for patients. There would be no limit on how often a person could receive the treatment. Although Kanzius' cancer has been in remission since the Keating treatment, he said, the day could come when he needs to be treated with his own creation. Radio frequency ablation is used to treat solid tumors only, so Kanzius said he never expected his invention to work against leukemia, a blood cancer. But he said Keating had convinced him it might be effective even against leukemia. "That was not my intent," Kanzius said of his inventive efforts. "But that was a pleasant gift. ... I would like to see kids with cancer grow up. I would like to see the first person get treatment and know it works, and see that person's face and the faces of family members. "I would like to see the doctor say, 'You no longer have pancreatic or prostate cancer.' That would be the day I'd like to see." |

Fire from Salt
Water
John Kanzius has found a way to burn salt water with the same radio wave machine he is using to kill cancer cells. Kanzius was testing his external radio-wave generator to see if it could desalinate salt water, and the water ignited. A university chemist determined that the process is generating hydrogen, which can be burned as fuel. While the phenomenon is interesting, it is not yet practical for energy generation as long as more energy is consumed by the radio frequency device than is produced for burning. Efficiency-wise, they started at around 76 percent of Faraday's theoretical limit. (Other Hydrogen-from-Water methods, such as the one being pursued by Bob Boyce (http://freeenergynews.com/Directory/Transportation/Bob_Boyce/), are approaching 7x Faraday). They subsequently quietly reported that they surpassed 100% efficiency, which would mean that the system is somehow harnessing environmental energy such as from the zero point or some other yet-to-be discovered phenomenon. Another problem to be overcome from burning salt water is the liberation of toxic chlorine (from the Cl of NaCl/salt). Kanzius says if someone wants to buy up the rights to the technology, that would be fine. He would use the funds to finance his quest to cure cancer. |

July 31, 2007From http://www.erieblogs.com/archives/2007/07/ Inventor John Kanzius will share the latest updates on his groundbreaking cancer research project to area business and community leaders, during the Manufacturers' Association's monthly Eggs 'n' Issues briefing, Tuesday, July 31, at the Manufacturers' Association of Northwest Pennsylvania (http://www.manp.org/) Conference Center, 2171 West 38th Street at 8 am. To register for this briefing, contact Tracy Shepard at 814/833-3200, 800/815-2660 or click here (http://www.manp.org/upcoming-events/168/schedule/) to register on the Association's web site. Cost is $30 for members, $60 for non-members. [...] The Kanzius Non-invasive Radio Wave Treatment is a potential cancer therapy that uses high-energy radio waves to destroy cancer cells that have been "tagged" with nano particles. Nano particles attached to cancer cells are heated by radio waves to a temperature, which destroys the cancer cells. The technique is non-invasive, and can be provided without the need for auxiliary chemotherapy or radiation. Intensive and promising technological research about the Kanzius Radio wave Treatment is currently under way at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the Mayo Clinic and other American medical centers.

June 06, 2007John Kanzius write: "Since it appears we now have now achieved more than unity, I am going to do an embargo on releasing all further information. "Actually there are smart individuals who have posted on different web sited and actually have a pretty good idea of what is happening."
[edit]
June 01, 2007"I am in the process of redesigning the electronics for the saltwater as to see what efficiency we can achieve. "Why does everyone think this is a form of electrolysis? "Some scientists who have made comments on certain web sites actually understand the mechanism of action. "Regarding moving this forward, I want to see what are the best results we can achieve with joules in vs joules out. A chemist in Houston whom I know is going to be doing a couple of things for me this weekend." -- John Kanzius (June 01, 2007)
[edit]
How it WorksKanzius is not publicly disclosing the mechanism of action at this time. He says that the process would not be considered a form of electrolysis. "It has nothing in common with the Rife concept except the word radio waves....He was supposedly looking for resonant frequencies of the cells themselves. This is nanoparticle technology. The nanoparticles are relatively new in the science and medical world. Gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the molecules that enter the cancer cells to be thermally destroyed by the non-invasive radio waves..The frequencies themselves are not even close..." (May 27, 2007) "It does take much sodium to discolor the flame. We have measured the before and after burns and very little sodium has been expended." (May 29, 2007) "What burns at a temperature of over 1700 C? [Knowing the answer to that question] might take some of the guess work out of the equation." (May 29, 2007)

RF imitates platinum catalystOn June 16, 2007, Charles Kilmer wrote (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kanzius_effect/message/29) to the kanzius effect discussion list: I wrote a blog on this topic. Some of the links go back to this discussion group. http://nick2.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/saltwater-into-fire/ I have an updated post Here: http://nick2.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/kanzius-and-penn-state-chemist-rostum-roy/ Read through the blog carefully. What you should see is the secret sauce to the Kanzius effect. Its contained in one of kanzius patents and in an expired eu patent. What's happening is that the RF is imitating the radio frequency of some catalyst for water separations. My guess is that the catalyst frequency that's being imitated is platinum since that's the big expensive catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells. What's happening is that the salt water is fooled into believing there's a platinum catalyst in the water. The other thing that's happening is that the Na is getting really hot really fast. Na --like any metal in a microwave is a heatsink. The water is first destablized by the RF and then its broken apart by the superheated Na.
Now consider if they could eliminate platinum from fuel cells altogether while using salt water as a storage and fuel for hydrogen -- suddenly hydrogen fuel cell cars would be dramatically cheaper. To see what I mean consider this article on hydrogen fuel cells http://www.lanl.gov/news/index.php/fuseaction/home.story/story_id/1673 Background paper: Fuel cells at Los Alamos

Caused by Polarization of the Hydrogen Molecules; magnetic bondOn June 28, 2007, Ted Green <Theodore.A.Green {at} l-3com.com> wrote: To get right to the point, I believe the Kanzius effect is caused by the polarization of the hydrogen molecules in the water. This polarization causes the two atoms of hydrogen to lose their 105 degree orientation to each other and de-stabilize the water molecule. The unstable water molecule comes apart easily then, combining hydrogen to hydrogen and oxygen to oxygen in a magnetic bond. Because the water molecules’ special property to hold sodium is lost, some sodium atoms must also be released to react violently with the water still present. This ignites hydrogen which recombines with the oxygen to keep the wick from being consumed. The unusual properties of the HHO gas, catalyzes the whole process to a very high efficiency.
