The results of a drug trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 18 rectal cancer patients are now completely free of the disease. The handful of patients were part of a study conducted at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in Manhattan and resulted in a success rate of 100 percent. Each patient was under the age of 50. “I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer,” Dr. Luis A. Diaz Jr, the author of the paper, told The New York Times. The drug used in the study is called dostarlimab and was designed to retrain the body’s autoimmune system

My sister passed in November from cancer. My younger brother passed from cancer in October '20. This news is exciting and yet heartbreaking at the same time, but if even one family can be spared what mine has gone through . . .

I've had many discussions with my cellular biology research professor friend during long night sail passages from Florida to the Bahamas when you must be up and sailing, and alert through the shipping channels and to avoid reefs. So, we talked, often of things in cellular biology. Since the overwhelming majority of cells which "go rogue" and become cancerous are quickly identified and destroyed by our immune systems, and deadly cancers are "escapes" from the immune system, we discussed that it seemed most likely is that the best way to "cure cancer" (a thousand different things) is to develop means of assisting the already amazing immune system to identify these cancer cells so that they immune system can do what we never can do, hunt them down and destroy them, one cell at a time. This 'cure' seems to be doing just that, and seems very likely to be a successful path. This is very heartening news. Let's hope that it progresses rapidly and proves to be widely applicable. I lost a good friend of over 40 years to cancer last year, and I really hope that this kind of approach can be quickly available for many cancers.

I"m sure big pharma when the time comes will reduce the cost of treatment to about that of a new Rolls Royce. That would be a new RR every year, btw.

Sorry for your loss OP...My SIL died from pancreatic cancer two years ago, she was 66yrs old. She was someone who should have lived to be 100. Active in her community, wasn't an ounce overweight, played soccer until just a few years ago and she and my brother travelled all over the world. Now, I have another brother, who most of his adult life was a drunken bum living on the streets of Seattle, but who got clean and sober about 15 years ago. He has survived lung cancer and brain cancer just in the last 6 years. His doctors call him their walking miracle. Go figure. Let's hope this truly is a miracle treatment and leads to other cures for cancer.

Monoclonal antibody, immunotherapy, not dissimilar to the widely used and effective Keytruda. We've heard this before, dostarlimab may have legs. Pray that it works and will be allowed to. It's hard not to be cynical about our medical community when trillions of dollars are involved.

What is more to the point as a miracle is not so much the drug works but that the drug was allowed to be used as first line therapy. Most new medications take a back seat to more ordinary therapies first such as surgery, radiation therapy, and established chemo. The doctors that reported the new 100% successful use of this antibody medication struggled to find somebody who would allow them to use it as first line treatment. The heroes are also those patients who were daring enough to volunteer.

Just lost my mom to what started out as colon cancer and metasticized to other parts of her body. It was aggressive and quick. She took the shot and Im not entirely sure if she got the booster. She said she was going to but she never said if she did but I am of the opinion it may have been the factor that it happened so fast and so hard for her. Of course, Im also aware that cancer happens differently to different people. Cancer just was not a thing in my mother's family. We were more worried about her getting Alzheimers, which WAS prevalent in the family. Dear Dad, it wasn't Alzheimers...

I watched that joke of a “hearing” on Thursday, the one about January 6th and the “threat to democracy” created by angry people with no focus or objective, some of whom chanted mean things. Needless to say, I was unmoved. Only 2 members spoke, Chair Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, and neither of them really “spoke” at all, they read. Their eyes were glued to the teleprompter the way someone who can’t swim is glued to a raft in the deep end of a pool. There is more convicing line delivery in a 1970s porn movie than those 2 gave Thursday night.
Is Biden Purposely Raising Gas Prices

The national gas average hit a new record of $5.00 a gallon this week, and it doesn’t look like prices are going to fall anytime soon. Americans are frustrated with President Joe Biden’s lies about the economy, and many believe he is at fault for their wallets shrinking. A new poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group found that over 53 percent of people “believe the Biden administration is intentionally letting gas prices rise to make Americans use less fossil fuels.” While 56 percent of voters agreed that the high fuel prices is Biden’s fault. Gas prices have nearly doubled since Biden took office just over a year ago

While speaking at the June 11 March for Our Lives rally, gun control proponent David Hogg suggested that putting more cops in schools may actually endanger students do not have white skin. Hogg suggested that a common response to school shootings is to put more police in schools. He then claimed, “Putting more cops in schools hasn’t worked.” He cited two examples to bolster his viewpoint: First he pointed to the armed officer who stood outside Parkland instead of entering, even as the attack was carried out. Then he made claims about the police response to Uvalde. Hogg did not mention the numerous times armed resource officers have saved lives on campus.

Enthusiastic Floridians gathered in Jacksonville, Florida, in a massive show of support for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) via a boat parade on the St. Johns River, which Duval County Republican chairman Dean Black described as the “first in the nation DeSantis Flotilla.” It is estimated that thousands participated in the event, as 1,300 boats registered for the parade alone. As witnessed by Breitbart News, nearly all of the vessels had several individuals aboard, suggesting that the preliminary estimations of turnout are likely accurate. Supporters also gathered along the sidelines and aboard the USS Orleck, “one of the most decorated US Navy ships since WWII,”
'Young Sheldon' Rerun Crushes J6 Hearing

Democrats were promising that the prime-time TV extravaganza presented by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2020 riot at the Capitol last Thursday would be “must-see TV.” Apparently, most Americans decided it was “must miss.” The Nielsen ratings for that night are out, and it appears that the audience for the event was smaller than for a Young Sheldon rerun episode that CBS ran in the same time period the previous week. The audience for the “Capitol Assault Hearings” was about the same size as nightly news broadcasts last week, according to the ratings. Nearly every major news network and the Big Three of CBS, NBC, and ABC covered the hearings.

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) has given the world plenty of examples showing why America should run from socialized medicine, such as soulless, bureaucratic decision-making and long wait times for planned procedures. Now, a shocking new video shows yet another reason: insufficient service for the community, resulting in waits of seven-and-a-half hours and up for emergency room visitors to see a doctor. A video that was taken in the Harlow A&E (Accident and Emergency) waiting room, part of the Princess Alexandra hospital NHS trust in Essex, UK, has gone viral. Filmed late Monday afternoon, the footage shows a nurse addressing the people waiting in the crowded room.

Call it bad timing or Trump luck, but most people today are talking inflation. This is from Fox News: The Labor Department said Friday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 8.6% in May from a year ago. Prices jumped 1% in the one-month period from April. Those figures were both higher than the 8.3% headline figure and 0.7% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists. It marks the fastest pace of Inflation since December 1981.

Wade. This comes after a leaked draft opinion from the Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization showed the Justices poised to overturn Roe. “I think if the Court overrules Roe v.

No one can say we didn’t warn you that gas prices would go up under Joe Biden. President Trump predicted it on the campaign trail. “It’s an incredible thing that’s happened over the last few years, a lot of great things, and you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? That’s okay,” he said. “You know what that’s like? That’s like a tax cut,” he pointed out. “That’s bigger than a tax cut. If Biden got in, you’d be paying $7, $8, $9. Then they’d say, ‘Get rid of your car.'” And boy, was he right. As gas prices hit historic highs,

The decision to send Todd’s program out to pasture is starting to make sense. It has been a tough go of things for Chuck Todd over the past few weeks. Increasingly, MSNBC programs are seeing plummeting ratings, from the newcomers like Symone Sanders to the more established lineup. Then, the man who often bristles at the idea the press is partisan–while stumping favorably for Joe Biden on the regular–had a bit of reckoning himself with his own show this week. The host of Meet The Press (which airs on the broadcast network Sundays) also has a weekday entry, entitled MTP Daily (MTPD), and it too has been facing eroding ratings in 2022.

Roughly a dozen students at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were alive for over an hour before law enforcement made it into their classrooms, according to a new report by the New York Times. There were 33 children and 3 teachers in the path of the shooter, but police reportedly waited an hour- and-17-minutes before four officers entered the classrooms in question–despite 60 officers having arrived at the school, the report says. From the NYT: Investigators have been working to determine whether any of those who died could have been saved if they had received medical attention sooner, according to an official with knowledge of the effort.

COVID Vaccines Linked to New Type of Incurable,

Studies suggest a link between an incurable and fatal prion disease known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers believe the prion region from the original Wuhan COVID-19 variant’s spike protein was incorporated into mRNA vaccines and adenovirus vector vaccines — given to hundreds of millions of humans — and that it can cause a new type of rapidly progressing sporadic CJD. According to Mayo Clinic, CJD is a degenerative brain disorder that leads to dementia and, ultimately, death. Although the Omicron variant does not have a prion region on its spike protein, current COVID-19 vaccines still use the genetic material — including the prion region — of the parent Wuhan strain.
