The National Cancer Act marked an era of progress and technological innovations have only contributed to our cancer research efforts since then. Listen to this Healthcast podcast to hear more about how technologies are aiding us on our journey toward cancer cure.
Three healers each employed their own methods for suppressing cancer cell viability and growth in vitro. Unfortunately, qRT-PCR analyses did not show significant effects in either direction.
Robotic Arms
Robotic arms are programmable mechanical arms that perform tasks similar to those performed by humans. They’re often employed in industrial automation applications in order to reduce labor costs and injuries as well as increase production speeds and quality control. Robotic arms have applications across industries including manufacturing, food processing, aerospace engineering and electronics and can even work in tight spaces that would be impossible for a human body.
Articulated robotic arms are a convenient and cost-effective solution for many industries, providing multiple degrees of freedom that allow for intricate handling tasks such as palletizing, dispensing, welding and working safely alongside humans – they’re especially ideal in environments that demand strict sanitary conditions.
Robotic arms have become indispensable tools in medical settings, from surgical operations and inspection of medicines for flaws, to manufacturing devices to ensure consistency and accuracy, food handling/warehousing applications such as moving and stacking products without damage, food processing to the electronics sector where they inspect printed circuit boards for minute defects not visible to human eyes.
Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University are striving to recreate the mechanical precision of human movement for robotic arms. Specifically, they have devised an ingenious system which teaches robot arms by mimicking and replicating human body movements – this process is known as Inverse Kinematics and will make robots more versatile and functional.
Robotic arms also play a significant role in cancer therapy. UK researchers have developed a tentacle-shaped robot capable of reaching even the smallest bronchial tubes within the lung to detect cancerous tumors and kill tumor cells more efficiently than current technology. Their soft silicone tentacle measures 2 mm in diameter for easy navigation through lung tissue.
Electromagnetic Fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are invisible electric and magnetic forces generated both naturally, such as Earth’s magnetic field, as well as by human activities like using electricity – especially appliances that run off electricity such as laptops that emit EMFs. Electromagnetic fields can be divided into three categories: static electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves and radiation.
Song and his team conducted research that demonstrated how certain types of cancer cells were not susceptible to spreading when exposed to low-intensity electromagnetic energy, because these cells could recognize its presence and direction of arrival; thus enabling them to avoid areas within cells where EMF was present and move towards another direction instead.
It’s an encouraging step forward in the fight against cancer, but more work needs to be done before this technology can be implemented in human healthcare. Researchers must first verify their results in animals before testing it on patients, with triple-negative tumors being particularly difficult to treat.
Scientists used an electromagnetic coil to send energy directly into cancer cells in a laboratory setting. They discovered that magnetic fields caused changes in cell shape as well as alteration to its ability to migrate. This discovery marks a breakthrough in cancer treatment, potentially helping physicians slow the spread of triple-negative tumors and increase chances of survival for these patients.
Conducting several experiments to explore how magnetic fields could restrict cell migration was carried out to ascertain how these interventions work, specifically measuring membrane potential reactions of adherent and suspended tumor cells using fluorescent probes. Results indicated that changes in intracellular calcium ions caused by magnetic fields caused migratory behavior of cancer cells to stop.
Sound
Sound therapy has long been used as an aid to healing, whether through music or rhythmic vibrations. When applied specifically to cancer patients, sound therapy frequencies and vibrations may increase overall wellness while strengthening immunity systems, thus speeding healing while decreasing side effects from conventional treatments.
Sound therapy has proven itself as an effective natural pain reliever and way of managing emotional stress from cancer treatment, helping cancer patients sleep more soundly while managing anxiety levels, stress levels and well-being levels. Studies have demonstrated the positive results this approach brings in terms of reduction anxiety levels and relaxation benefits among cancer patients.
As scientists discover more information about cancer, alternative treatment methods have become more promising. One such technique that can supplement traditional cancer protocols is histotripsy – using sound waves to target tumor tissue on a cellular level using focused ultrasound waves to target and destroy it.
This process works similarly to how an ultrasound works: patients lie down on an exam table while a disc transmits sound waves into their bodies through vibrational waves that penetrate skin layers to hit affected areas and cause them to vibrate rapidly, breaking apart tumor cells while providing visual proof on monitor.
Studies have demonstrated the power of sound waves to destroy cancer cells and slow disease spread. One patient underwent 12 sessions of SEP sound therapy and at its conclusion saw their breast tumor significantly shrink in size. Other trials have found that sounds can change gene expression patterns as well as reduce viability in tumors.
When using SEP, it is crucial to find a qualified practitioner with experience working with cancer patients. They will be able to determine the ideal frequency and vibrations for each individual and customize treatments accordingly. Furthermore, music played during treatment can make a significant impactful statement about its effectiveness; classical, Indian classical music, harp music or Brazilian guitar may be ideal options.
Light
Researchers are exploring the power of light therapy as an innovative means for treating cancer. They’ve developed antibodies activated by specific wavelengths of light that destroy tumor cells while leaving healthy tissue intact – this approach should enable physicians to reach more tumors, particularly near vital organs.
Scientists rely on Cerenkov radiation, a phenomenon which produces blue glow from nuclear reactors and glowing images created by PET scans, as well as being reflected off water molecules within body cells to cause them to illuminate as well.
Researchers used fluorescent molecules IR700 to tag antibodies used for targeting proteins found in most cases of glioblastoma brain tumours, known as affibodies were combined with tumor-seeking drugs activated by near-infrared light and administered to mice prior to surgery; when removed they would glow in tumour regions for surgeons to remove. Once all surgical removal had taken place, near-infrared light laser was turned on in order to kill any remaining tumour cells; mice that received only compound survived around 30 days compared to 15 for controls while when combined together affibodies increased survival to 50 days compared to controls.
As with all remote healing sessions, it is vital that both parties involved be in an environment free from noise and distractions. Receivers should lie in a comfortable position with eyes closed while focusing on clearing away emotional or mental blocks while relaxing and trusting in the process. A high-speed internet connection should also be utilized so as to avoid interruptions caused by network lag.
Distance healing sessions involve connecting to and balancing the recipient’s energy field, often helping alleviate pain and discomfort, slow cellular ageing, increase feelings of calm and wellbeing and even relieve chronic illnesses like cancer. Distance healing offers a safe, natural approach to improving overall health – particularly beneficial when experiencing these types of symptoms.
