A mix of Viagra and the flu vaccine could treat cancer: Bizarre cocktail is now being tested in humans after reducing the disease by 90% in mice

• Erectile dysfunction drugs block suppressor cells, which allows natural killer cells to do their cancer-fighting job
• The flu vaccine further invigorates the natural killer cells, they found

A combination of Viagra and a flu vaccine could treat cancer, surprising new research suggests.
The unconventional strategy invigorates the immune system to attack tumor cells left lingering after surgery, when the body is vulnerable.
Testing the method in mice with lung cancer, Canadian researchers saw a 90 percent reduction in the spread of the disease.
The study was such a success that 24 human stomach cancer patients will now test the combination in a clinical trial that could pave the way to it being approved.

The team at the University of Ottawa found that erectile dysfunction drugs block suppressor cells, allowing natural killer cells to do their cancer-fighting job. The flu vaccine further invigorates the killer cells


Normally, immune cells called natural killer cells play a major role in killing metastatic cancer cells.
But surgery causes another kind of immune cell, called a myeloid derived suppressor cell (MDSC), to block the NK cells.
Dr Rebecca Auer's team at the University of Ottawa has found that erectile dysfunction drugs block these suppressor cells, which allows the natural killer cells to do their cancer-fighting job.
The flu vaccine works to further stimulates the natural killer cells.
'Surgery is very effective in removing solid tumours,' said senior author Dr Auer, surgical oncologist and head of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital.

'However, we're now realizing that, tragically, surgery can also suppress the immune system in a way that makes it easier for any remaining cancer cells to persist and spread to other organs.

'Our research suggests that combining erectile dysfunction drugs with the flu vaccine may be able to block this phenomenon and help prevent cancer from coming back after surgery.'

The current study investigated sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and an inactivated influenza vaccine (Agriflu) in a mouse model that mimics the spread of cancer (metastasis) after surgery.

Dr Auer is now leading the first clinical trial in the world of an erectile dysfunction drug (tadalafil) and the flu vaccine in people with cancer.
It will involve 24 patients at The Ottawa Hospital undergoing abdominal cancer surgery.

This trial is designed to evaluate safety and look for changes in the immune system.

If successful, larger trials could look at possible benefits to patients.

'We're really excited about this research because it suggests that two safe and relatively inexpensive therapies may be able to solve a big problem in cancer,' said Dr Auer.

'If confirmed in clinical trials, this could become the first therapy to address the immune problems caused by cancer surgery.'
The team warned that cancer patients should not self-medicate with this combination, even though erectile dysfunction drugs and the flu vaccine are widely available.

'Cancer immunotherapy is a huge area of research right now, but we're still learning how best to use it in the time around surgery,' said first author Dr Lee-Hwa Tai, former postdoctoral fellow in Dr Auer's lab and now assistant professor at the Université de Sherbrooke.
'This research is an important step forward that opens up many possibilities.'

So, theyre HARD ON the trail for a cure huh?

If it works they will have to ban one of them.

Flu vaccine helps and they automatically assume because it boosts "the natural killer cells", but doesn't touch on the more likely reason which is Mercury is extremely toxic to cells including cancer.

If it works they will have to ban one of them.

Viagra will cost more than a high-end escort. They make far too much on the treatment of the lifelong chronic illnesses created by the flu-vaccine to abandon that.

Are they still PRETENDING that cancer is NOT curable?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa a

Fools and deceivers!!

They'll keep that illusion up for as long as possible. It's a "money maker". Especially for the Oncologist who will be treating as well as selling you the treatment.

Old western movie. I have long since forgotten the name. Typical storyline for old westerns. Suddenly the scene switches to Shorty and Slim in a stable.

Shorty tells Slim "My horse has colic. I heard yours had it. What did you treat it with?"

Slim responds "Turpentine."

Shorty says "Thanks. I'll give it a try."

The movie story line continues.

Half an hour later (in movie time) Shorty meets Slim at a rodeo.

Shorty says "What did you say you used to treat colic in your horse?"

Slim replies "Turpentine." [evidently Slim is a man of few words and uses them sparingly]

Shorty says " I used turpentine and my horse died."

Slim says "So did mine."

weed is also a cancer treatment, no? weed and viagra dont mix - can kill you

Just cut out Carbs and Sugar and your body can rid itself of cancer naturally. That is as long as you haven't compromised your own immunity by undergoing several rounds of chemo your immunity is pretty much shot after that.

Research into Cancer and you'll see that the ONLY "food" that cancer can live on is Glucose. Well your body also uses Glucose, but it can also metabolize Ketones. Cancer cannot. Eat Meat, fat, and little (under 20grams of carbs) and 0 grams of sugar and almost every video I have seen where people have done this has shown either the cancer dying on its own due to no suitable food source or cleared their cancer by the next checkup.

Your body is an amazing creation, and the creator gave us all the tools to repair it. It's amazing that people still die of heart disease and cancer when the knowledge to treat and cure yourself of it is literally at your finger tips.

Modern man has forgotten its roots.
