Proton Therapy, better radiation for cancer patients??

Proton therapy machine


I've got a good one for ya.

For those who don't know, Emory's Winship Cancer Institute is going to be joining the ranks of the medical center elitist in terms of cancer therapy. There are talks that the center will begin to chart unto the usage path of, Proton Therapy. This is a type of radiation, relatively undiscovered, that can attack cancerous tumors with high radiation doses while limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissues and bring calm to many side effects!

This large Proton Therapy machine (looks rather like an open space bubble with a narrow bed, reminding of an MRI type of machine) is currently used at the U of Florida. The beam used can be adjusted to the shape of the patient's tumor.

I hope for natural healing in many diseases however this could be a good look as long as it doesn't cause later ills and body damage. Awesome technology!

Take care of yourself friends.
