Understanding Cancer Treatment and Immunology

The only cell that is important that kills cancer

99.9 percent of oncologists will say

we don't pay any attention to that.

So what kills cancer?

Pick up the phone,

call any random oncologist, not to shame them,

primary care physician,

pick up the phone and said you do a CBC,

correct? Can you define what a CBC is?

A complete blood count.

You take blood and you look for the blood screen

for whether you're anemic or not anemic.

People understand that when you see these red blood cells

and you give chemotherapy and radiation and

you ask what do you look for?

Well, we look to see if you're anemic

so we can give you this drug that Amgen makes called epigen.

We look to see whether your platelets have gone down

so we can give you a platelet transfusion.

We look to see whether your neutrophils have gone down

so that you don't get an infection called neutropenic fever

so we give you this epigen.

Well, the problem is does red blood cells cure cancer?

No. Does platelets cure cancer? No.

Does neutrophils kill cancer? No.

What kills cancer?

The natural killer cells and T-cells.

So in that CBC there's a thing called the lymphocytes, correct?

Do you look at that? No.
