ABC News reports that retired radio station owner John Kanzius may have discovered a way to beat cancer — with radio waves.

“It’s beyond remarkable,” said Dr. Steven Curley of the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas. “He was just a private citizen who just came up with an idea and had the wherewithal and the tinkering ability to do it.”

Very cool. It’s important to note that he was motivated to do this after he came down with leukemia himself. Way to turn suffering into motivation.

“I would guess, based on what we know now that we are probably five years from the first clinical trials in humans. Hopefully it will be faster,” said Dr. Robert C. Young of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

That’s good enough for me. I hope it works out.
