John S. Kanzius (March 1, 1944 – February 18, 2009) was an American inventor, radio and TV engineer, one-time station owner and ham radio operator (Call Sign K3TUP) from Erie, Pennsylvania. He invented a method that, he said, could treat virtually all forms of cancer, with no side effects, and without the need for surgery or medication.〔 He also demonstrated a device that generated flammable hydrogen-containing gas from salt-water-solution by the use of radiowaves. In the media this was dubbed "burning salt water". Both effects involve the use of his radio frequency transmitter. Kanzius, self-taught, stated that he was motivated to research the subject of cancer treatment by his own experiences undergoing chemotherapy for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He died of B-cell leukemia with complications from pneumonia without seeing FDA approval and commercialization of his invention. ==Cancer therapy== Kanzius RF Therapy is an experimental cancer treatment that employs a combination of either gold or carbon nanoparticles and radio waves.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=C. J. Gannon, P. Mukherjee and S. A. Curley ) Poster presented at the 2007 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium by Dr. Christopher J. Gannon, M.D.〕 The specific absorption rate for radio waves by living tissue in the proposed wavelengths and intensity levels is very low. Metals absorb this energy much more efficiently than tissue through dielectric heating; Richard Smalley has suggested that carbon nanotubes could be used to similar purpose.〔 〕 If nanoparticles were to be preferentially bound to cancer sites, cancer cells could be destroyed or induced into apoptosis while leaving healthy tissue relatively unharmed.〔 This preferential targeting represents a major technical challenge. According to a presentation by Dr. Steven Curley, essentially all forms of cancer are potentially treatable using Kanzius RF therapy.〔(RF-Induced Thermal Destruction of Cancer Cells Presentation by Steven Curley ), accessed November 2, 2007 〕 Kanzius built a prototype ''Kanzius RF device'' in his home, and formed Therm Med, LLC to test and market his inventions.〔〔 〕 The device was tested at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2005.〔 As of 2007-04-23, preliminary research using the device at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has taken place〔〔 and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center If federal approval is granted, testing on human patients may follow.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Kanzius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
