OHSU's Gleevac still works on Leukemia

Gleevac was found to increase life expectancy in ALL leukemia patients. Gleevac is a new type of drug, I learned in a recent pharmacology class that it actually changes two sections of chromosome that promote the disease. It's exciting to me because drugs that target faulty genetic code can actually cure cancer, unlike current treatments that don't address the underlying cause, bad DNA. Now, if we could only prevent our DNA from getting so f*&!'d up to begin with..

INDIAN TREATMENT FOR LEUKEMIA

When Leukemia is newly diagnosed or it relapsed after a remission, and patient and all in the family are wondering what are the best treatments available, one may go through the details of Indian Ayurveda option. Here is about, probably, the only center in the world where patients get sustainable remission with out side effects.

I am glad to participate in study program of molecular biology or cancer genetics of universities to see scientifically how this healing reinstates normal cell functioning, even in diseases that do not respond to any treatment currently available. It is my sincere request to international scientific community to focus on what can be done to expand the current research environment so that practices that lie outside conventional science are appropriately addressed.
