Alternating electric fields arrest cell proliferation in animal tumors and human brain tumors

V, and All,

Specific range of frequencies of RF fields kills division of certain types

of cancer cells when in a range of volts/cm. All info below.

This all recently came to my attention via Murray Waldman a member of the

group:

Looks like a " mainstream " Novocure is using a few Nobel Prize doctors to

study this effect. They call this a " new " discovery.

Novocure has " discovered " that specific ranges of various frequencies of AC

electric fields applied with electrodes to parts of the body that contain a

tumor(s)- works very well on some cancers that they have so far

investigated. They call these (FDA approved) experimental investigations of

Novocure-TTF or TTFields. (Tumor Treating Fields).

They label them " low intensity " , meaning, I guess, that they utilize less AC

power of <1 MHz to cause no disruptive thermal effects. The volts per cm

that they utilize however appears to be considerably higher than say a

godzilla device. To disrupt cell division the overall power must be quite a

bit higher than is generally mentioned here. For instance, using 1 to 10

volts per centimetre of TTFs is destroying cancer cell division from

electrodes on the scalp (24/7) , with reports of only sleight or no heating

of the brain tissue, . One report said " insulted " electrodes. Another report

suggested direct skin contact electrodes. (?) The only adverse effects

reported being sleight skin irritations near the electrodes. If there are

any errors here, they are mine. I believe i am reporting this accurately,

but I'm not exact quoting.

Anyway, there appears to be significant information on the following links.

of a cancer cell destruction:

Trials: (Some brain cancer trials. There may be others..)
