“Targeted Cancer Therapy by Dendritic Cell Vaccine”

A bit more detail on what they do....

“What we do is take 200ml of blood which then gets couriered to our lab in Germany.

They then mature the monocytes into Dendritic Cells and the way that is done is by taking the patients cancer signature, which is in the blood plasma and literally feed it to the Dendritic Cells. They then absorb that information which then becomes their sole purpose in life, to kill the cancer cells through the immune system.

The serum/vaccine is put back into the lymph system around 9 days later. The Dendritic Cells will stay there for up to 9 months and they will instruct the natural killer cells, (NK) or T-Lymphocyte Cells, that pass through the immune system what to look for and what to kill.”

We would also like Dana to visit her Parents whom she has not seen for a number of years, they live in Jamaica Mum is 90 years young and Dad is 85 years young, they are devastated at the news they were given earlier this week. Dana is their only daughter. A round trip would cost £3,500 with medical insurance.
