New Cancer Treatment Shrinks Pancreatic Tumor

A new cancer treatment is realizing outstanding results against pancreatic cancer. Following five weeks of treatment, a patient's large, stage 4 tumor was reduced in size by 70%. After seven more weeks of treatment, it no longer could be definitely identified on scans. Pancreatic cancer usually is fatal six to nine months after diagnosis. NeoPlas Innovation's combination of FDA-approved drugs appears to improve those odds for some patients, based on this result and similar ones seen before the protocol's public availability.

Alternative Health Info - HSI Natural Health Newsletter

I've been receiving updates from the these folks for a couple of years and the info they send out is solid.  It isn't a compilation of hearsay on alternative therapies but a critical look at research and at alternative healthcare, bringing usable information to your email box.  You will get some advertising from them as they seem to have alot of affiliates but the actual newsletters are worth reading.
 
Their premium paid membership is also a good investment and sidesteps much of the "Learn more about "x" on page 90!"
