Not only has this been a record-setting week in terms of the volume of comments on this blog. It was also a record-setter in terms of quality. So many members of this community took time to create detailed, thoughtful, and provocative posts that it […]

Dennis Schmidt offers this week’s top comment.
Dennis wrote in response to the recent posts about a Florida hospital getting the go-ahead to become a part of the clinical trials for John Kanzius’ cancer-treatment procedure.
We received several similar comments on this issue — and I think Dennis’ point really sums up the frustration many in Erie […]

The news that Erie is behind in the effort to host human trials for the testing of John Kanzius’ radiowave-based cancer treatment is sparking a lot of strong opinions.
And many folks are frustrated in the inability of local leaders to be aggressive in advocating for Erie.
That frustration is magnified when you consider that there have […]

Erie has a right to be proud of John Kanzius’ effort to develop an effective new treatment for cancer.

These stories shine […]

Penn State University will begin researching whether John Kanzius’ radiowave theory might be useful in producing energy.
This decision is another important milestone for the Millcreek inventor, who has already gained worldwide acclaim for developing a process that uses directed radio waves to treat cancer.
Researchers at Houston’s MD Anderson Cancer Center have already proven that the […]

So, scientists have proven that John Kanzius‘ radio-wave theory can consistently kill tumors in lab animals.
Think about that for a minute.
