John S. Kanzius (March 1, 1.944 – February 18, 2.009) was an American inventor, radio and TV engineer, one-time station owner and ham radio operator (Call Sign K3TUP) from Erie, Pennsylvania.
He invented a method that has the potential to treat virtually all forms of cancer, with no side effects, and without the need for surgery or medication.
He also demonstrated a device that generated flammable hydrogen-containing gas from salt-water-solution by the use of radiowaves. In the media this was dubbed "burning salt water".
Both effects involve the use of his radio frequency transmitter.
Kanzius, an autodidact, stated that he was motivated to research the subject of cancer treatment by his own experiences undergoing chemotherapy for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Cancer therapy
Kanzius RF Therapy is an experimental cancer treatment that employs a combination of either gold or carbon nanoparticles and radio waves to heat and destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.
The specific absorption rate for radio waves by living tissue in the proposed wavelengths and intensity levels is very low.
Metals absorb this energy much more efficiently than tissue through dielectric heating; Richard Smalley has suggested that carbon nanotubes could be used to similar purpose.
If nanoparticles were to be preferentially bound to cancer sites, cancer cells could be destroyed or induced into apoptosis while leaving healthy tissue relatively unharmed.
This preferential targeting represents a major technical challenge. According to a presentation by Dr. Steven Curley, the types of cancer potentially treatable using Kanzius RF therapy include essentially all forms of cancer.
Kanzius built a prototype Kanzius RF device in his home, and formed Therm Med., LLC to test and market his inventions.
The device was successfully tested at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2.005.
As of 2.007-04-23, preliminary research using the device at The University of Texas M. D.
Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center has shown early promise.
If federal approval is granted, testing on human patients may follow.
An article published in late 2.010 illustrates that radiofrequency fields induce intracellular hyperthermia and necrosis in pancreatic tumors without injury to the human pancreatic tissue grafts tested.
Water-related discovery
Later in 2.007, Kanzius announced that the same radio frequency transmitter can also be used to generate a hydrogen-oxygen mixture dissociated from salt water.
The discovery was made accidentally while he was researching the use of radio waves for desalination.
Kanzius said that "In this case we weren't looking for energy, we were looking for something that might do desalinization.
The more we tried desalinization, the more heat we produced, until we got fire".
Kanzius admitted that this process could not be considered an energy source, as more energy is used to produce the RF signal than can be obtained from the burning gas and stated in July 2.007 that he never claimed his discovery would replace oil, asserting only that his discovery was "thought provoking."
The details of the process are still unreleased pending the issuance of a patent.
Kanzius proposed that the flame is produced by burning of hydrogen and oxygen, released from the water by radio waves "forcing together" the "normally separated" hydrogen and oxygen in the water, a process he calls "reunification".
Kanzius' experiment has been confirmed by Rustum Roy, a materials scientist at Pennsylvania State University, in a demonstration before the Material Science faculty, using Kanzius' RF transceiver, which Kanzius had brought to the lab for the day.
On his website, Roy writes: "It is clear that Mr. Kanzius has demonstrated the ability to dissociate aqueous solutions of sodium chloride at normal sea water concentrations into hydrogen and oxygen."
According to Roy, "The salt water isn't burning per se, despite appearances.
The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen.
Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies."
The temperature and flame color varies with water solutions and concentrations.
The Kanzius machine has been discussed few times in the past but after a quick search it seems there are no recent posts about it and the last developments.
One of the main obstacles for this "machine" (I would say it's rather an "idea" - a very brilliant one) was the impossibility to zap with radio waves cancer cells flowing in the body (methastasis).
Well I checked the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation and they are saying that the issue is now solved, by the use of gold nanoparticles with attached an antibody (the "navigator") able to reach tumor cells wherever they are.
It seems a breakthrough, if it really works as they say we may be not so far from a cancer-free world.
I really hope so.
