[sci.med] cancer

robert@uop.UUCP (Robert McCaul) (07/01/87)

a few years back i heard of a treatment called: (unsure of spelling)

Coley's toxins.

(i no doubt reveal some ignorance by my own words but..)

has anyone done any research regarding these?

i heard it was a chain of bacteria injections, that brought upon a

fever condition for several days, that aparrantly induces the body

to "see" the cancer as an enemy, and attack the growths.

or this is how the story goes...

also an aside:

i was exposed to carcinojenics in large dosages my first two years

in community college...and since my mother's father died of luekemia,

and my mother of cancer...(i am not asking about "my odds") i am 

asking what responsibility does that school have?  those of us that

were exposed, had no idea at the time, (and we were also exposed to

cyanide gasses of sufficient quantity to cause sickness)

(remind you not to visit the place huh?)

what can i do?

you may discuss this openly, but since i don't always read these groups
for lack of time, i would like to have some replies regarding these
matters.  

thank you all for your time.
