John Kanzius- The Kanzius Machine

60 Minutes had an interesting story on tonight about John Kanzius and the Kanzius Machine. john is a businessman and former radio technician who does not have a college degree or no experience in medicine, but its possible that he has invented a machine that can cure cancer.

John Kanzius has created a machine named the Kanzius machine that can possible zap cancer cells with radio frequencies. Apparently the machine works without any side effects or the need for drugs. If this is true then the Kanzius Machine and John Kanzius could have produced the most important breakthrough ever known to cancer research. There is still a lot of research to do and clinical trials will have to be performed, but this seems like a great invention.

If the trials work out like many doctors and cancer researchers think it will then John Kanzius is going to be a very rich man and his Kanziys machine may be able to save the lives of thousands of cancer patients. Cancer is one of the most destructive diseases known to man and if the Kanzius machine can help even a small percentage of the people who have cancer then it will be a fabulous breakthrough. Of course for John Kanzius this was a personal endeavor he decided to take on.

The last thing John Kanzius thought he’d ever do was try to cure cancer. A former radio and television executive from Pennsylvania, he came to Florida to enjoy his retirement.

"I have no business being in the cancer business. It’s not something that a layman like me should be in, it should be left to doctors and research people," .

It was the worst kind of luck that gave Kanzius the idea to use radio waves to kill cancer cells: six years ago, he was diagnosed with terminal leukemia and since then has undergone 36 rounds of toxic chemotherapy. But it wasn’t his own condition that motivated him, it was looking into the hollow eyes of sick children on the cancer ward at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

"I saw the smiles of youth and saw their spirits were broken. And you could see that they were sort of asking, ‘Why can’t they do something for me?’" Kanzius told Stahl.
"So they started to haunt you. The children," Stahl asked.
"Their faces. I still remember them holding on their Teddy bears and so forth," he replied. "And shortly after that I started my own chemotherapy, my third round of chemotherapy."
Kanzius told Stahl the chemotherapy made him very sick and that he couldn’t sleep at night. "And I said, ‘There’s gotta be a better way to treat cancer.’"

It was during one of those sleepless nights that the light bulb went off. When he was young, Kanzius was one of those kids who built radios from scratch, so he knew the hidden power of radio waves. Sick from chemo, he got out of bed, went to the kitchen, and started to build a radio wave machine.
"Started looking in the cupboard and I saw pie pans and I said, ‘These are perfect. I can modify these,’" he recalled.

His wife Marianne woke up that night to a lot of banging and clamoring. "I was concerned truthfully that he had lost it," she told Stahl.

"She felt sorry for me," Kanzius added.

"I did," Marianne Kanzius acknowledged. "And I had mentioned to him, ‘Honey, the doctors can’t-you know, find an answer to cancer. How can you think that you can?’"

That’s what 60 Minutes wanted to know, so Stahl went to his garage laboratory to find out.
Here’s how it works: one box sends radio waves over to the other, creating enough energy to activate gas in a fluorescent light. Kanzius put his hand in the field to demonstrate that radio waves are harmless to humans.

"So right from the beginning you’re trying to show that radio waves could activate gas and not harm the human-anything else," Stahl remarked. "’Cause you’re looking for some kind of a treatment with no side effects, that’s what’s in your head."

Its not clear whether John Kanzius machine will actually work, but what it does is to run high frequency radio waves through out the cancer infected area or tumor. Kanzius actually injects the cancerous area with a metal oxide and then sends the radio waves through the area. What this does it to heat up the metal which kills the cancerous cells with the heat. This is great because not only does it kill the cancerous cells it also does not harm the rest of the cells around the cancerous section. This is what has all the scientist so excited by John Kanzius invention, the Kanzius Machine. The machine is now at two different research institutions where they are doing further research. Hopefully this machine will work out and save some lives from this deadly disease and finally produce a method to cure cancer.
