The Chinese 🇨🇳 might have cured multiple myeloma, a fatal and incredibly painful blood cancer The 36,000 Americans who develop multiple myeloma each year face an illness that eats away at bones, so it looks as though holes have been punched out in them, said Dr. Carl June, of the University of Pennsylvania. Bones collapse. Dr. June has seen patients who lost six inches in height. “It’s a horrible, horrible death,” Dr. June said. “Right now advanced myeloma is a death sentence.” …. “The Chinese company gained attention for its CAR-T eight years ago when it made extravagant claims, which were met by snickers from American researchers.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/health/multiple-myeloma-car-t-immunotherapy.html

Oh wow! This has to be extra hopeful for that reason I wonder if there’s a single American who hasn’t been touched by cancer in some way

So it seems this treatment or something similar was on offer in Arizona for a million bucks. A nauseating sum for someone in the Canadian healthcare system.
