I have prostate cancer and Dr. Hammond's dedication, her research, and brilliance have prolonged my life. As a twist of fate, and unknown to her, she is my second cousin; and has given me and others the gift of life. God bless her.

These are the kinds of videos that really makes TED shine. Great stuff!

My mother has the BRCA1 gene mutation. Due to this she has had cancer 7 times in the past 4 years. It started as ovarian cancer which was treated and she went into remission. It kept coming back even though she had an oophorectomy and hysterectomy. She also had both breasts removed because of the almost 95% chance of breast cancer she had. She has a colostomy bag because 2 of her tumors wrapped around her intestines. She's the strongest person I know. I think I've only heard her complain a few times about how the chemo feels over the past 4 years. I pray that they will find a complete cure for cancer to help her and everyone else in need.

Ted has been cleaning its act up recently, well done....dont make me regret this comment Ted.

This is the true power of nano-technology.

This is wonderful news. I'm sure many would have liked to have a link directly to a site with more information on this treatment. Many truly appreciate your work Paula!

I loved how well she explained the purpose of each layer.

What an amazing person

Always hear about this amazing stuff and then nothing happens, so tired of it.

Very interesting, but.... how much does it cost to produce? Is it even viable? How realistic is this? What are the downsides?

incredible.. i like to find out more.. 6 years have passed.

And when will this be available to the public for treatment?

awesome ... this really fills me with hope for the future generation ....

Simply, a brilliant woman, well done.

Great talk, looking forward to seeing this applied world wide.

amazing stuff. great presenter.

Wow!!! She's just brilliant!!! 👏👏👏👏

Just a thought, would it be better to use siRNA targeting ribosomal RNA and degrade that to directly starve the cells of their protein synthesis ability and possibly kill cancer cells non-discriminately?

Does anybody know if this tumor cell death would be necrotic or apoptotic? I'm just curious, because a necrotic tumor death in the brain could be a really big issue, due to the inflammation

my mom got a recommendation from a docter to consume a potreleum (kerosene), the doctor said his father can reduce the tumor cells cause consumed that potreleum. I wish this recommendation can work well in my mom too.

TED had been hitting it out of the park lately! So many great talks and great people, and many fewer business and product pitches!

thank you for giving hopes. thanks for an awesome speech.

that amazing if this is write it will save a lot of people bravo paula hammond

It sounds pretty nice but i have one question. Many people die while they get their chemo therapie. With this 'new' chemo, it sounds even more aggresive (because theorotical, the new weapon can get inside every cell better, not only tumor cells). So my question: Can somebody withstand this kind of therapie?

Amazing woman. So proud

... Sure, superheroes... I guess curing cancer just isn't enough to get people interested these days.

I would have loved to hear about the manufacturing side regarding these tiny pellets. Can RNA be mass produced such that spraying them to form a coat is viable?

There is an article about this study? I work with nanoparticles and cancer research, but instead of molecular therapy, we use a drug (resveratrol). I want to read this study. Very interesting

Nice, but when will any of these apparent breakthroughs make their way into human application? Is it an issue of cost and production? Are they held back due to regulatory constraint? Are they being extra cautious and slow to develop the therapies? Do they have problems transferring the benefits from rodent studies into human studies?

Hey cool!! Any research about Cancer is always welcome!! :D Anyway I've some doubts; how you know that after destroying the gene, another one inactive related with the first one isn't methylated and can continue the machinery of cancer in that cell or neighbors?? Why not just use a substance that destroys the cell instead using RNA?? It could be more effective to use bacteriophages instead of a nanoparticle?? And could be possible apply a non-ionizing radiation to try to destroy the cellular protein machinery only in the acreages affected??

amazing video!! very informative!!wish with this superweapon we can fight this supervillian

She's is amazing

There are powerful people who don't want us to have a cure which saddens me because we would probably have it by now.

impressive the things humans can do is unbelievable.

has anyone looked up DR BJORN NORDSTROM and the book he wrote back in the 80s the title of his book is BIOLOGICALLY CLOSED ELECTRIC CIRCUITS, he treated all kinds of cancers with low volt electricity

She's ripped, she takes that fight seriously

I never knew I wanted black Velma until now.

Great News ;) Love it!

Keep it up!

my mother passed away in1971 from cancer my youngest brother in 1988 back then I felt like they would have a cure by now , now I'm wondering if they'll ever find a cure, what is this stuff ? what happened on this planet to cause this decease,

That is why science is very important

I wonder if the unusual diet I've followed for eleven years now might help cancer. For eleven years, I have lived more than 90% on fluid milk products, cow milk and cow cream. So every day more than 90% of my diet is some kind of milk--skim, 1%, 2%, whole--plus I sometimes buy pints of half-and-half or fluid whipping cream and drink them straight. In my case the diet helps with an eye problem. To put it a little simply, if I eat solid, mixed food my eyes hurt and vision blurs; but if I follow the milk/cream diet, they feel and work okay. I don't know all the reasons the milk/cream diet works, but I can explain one based on how my body feels. After you eat your food, the nutrients from the food go into your blood and circulate to the cells to nourish them. It seems to me that although my system does break up solid food it doesn't break it up as thoroughly as milk and cream, and hence when the nutrients from solid food reach the cells they clog and irritate the cells more than the nutrients from milk and cream, leading to pain and dysfunction. In my case the pain and dysfunction show up in my eyes, but I think for other people it might show up in other body areas and ways. I have the idea the milk/cream diet might therefore give relief to many diseases, including cancer, other eye disease, and fibromyalgia. I'm trying to get the medical establishment to test the idea, but that hasn't happened yet, so in the meantime I tell sick people about it thinking it might help them. So you might try the diet to see what it might do for you. It might not help at all, since I don't know of any fibromyalgic patient trying it. I tend to think it will help. I got this idea from the Masai people of Kenya who live only on milk and beef from their cows. They do have one important rule for food mixing. They say "If a man eats meat and drinks milk on the same day, he is a glutton." So for me I must choose every day whether it will be a beef day or a milk day. I like beef, but prefer milk, so for me every day is a milk day. I really don't know what would happen if I had some beef days, but I've been quite content having them all be milk days.

What is that nanoparticle ? Is it available in the market ? Thats it

i use cannabis against cancer

Jesus christ she defo hits the gym everyday

neat stuff

Ok. pretty incredible. But how much does it cost to manufacture billions upon billion of these nanoparticles?

1:16 Thats where your wrong kiddo

how about the tumour microenvironment e.g. macrophage that allows the cancer cells to stay alive even when we are able to silence the genes that cancer cells possess?

Those biceps tho...

63 people love cancer

Im sorry if this might sound stupid, but what about the discovery of cspr cass 9 last year that i heard also from ted that can modify genes? is it not applicable here ?

Does this use Anti PD-L1 and Anti PD-1 drugs?

Wonderful: Battles. Super villains. Super weapons. Destroy. Root cause resolution = PREVENTION. Great to have potential new curative tools. How about also acknowledging & modifying the ENVIRONMENTAL factors that promote the conversion into mutant genes? Book: Radical Remission by Dr Kelly Turner.

Can you say were in the state

i don't understandt 2 things: 1) why only cancer cells absorb that drug, other cells don't identify that drug as nutrient? 2) if you can smuggle gene inhibitor into cancer cell, why you are killing it with chemo therapy afterwards, why not just inhibit gene that makes the cell uncontrollably multiply and leave it? or maybe repair it to the dna of cell that it mutated from

macam mana nak buat?

It is a way of doing it. It is a nice way of doing it and who dosen't like nano? Although it is the wrong way to fight cancer.

cool prezentation and probubly even technology. but you made prezentation that we need cure that will actualy work, fascinating but we know :D. Thou this is definetly huge improvement compared to videos vew weeks ago.

well I have one question. How what if other harmful bacteria copy the technique of this superweapon, I mean the meathead how your superweapon gets trough the immune system

What keeps this from entering non-cancerous cells?

Fantastic!

what does 'negatively charged' mean? Can someone explain it?

Were in the state r u

To quote Dawkins Science works bitchez

And about the Brazilian Phosphoethanolamine?

Whether inside or outside it is hi-tech war

the best way to fight cancer is with natural foods and supplements however once it reaches advance stage sof cancer it becomes more difficult as the saying goes an ounce of prevention is better then a pound of cure

I always thought that the cure of cancer would be done with nanorobots.

Its revolutionary... Is it wrong to get really excited over this?

Hello i am watching your vido want to keep looking on your vido my daugather have brest cancer

very good

So what does this mean? There is a cure?

Could cannabis oil be considered to be a superweapon against cancerous cells in the human body ?Could cannabis oil be a less complex procedure and worth together with the human body's endocannabinoid system or is this sort of natural treatment not as viable as synthetically engineered solutions ?

SHE USED PREZI FOR HER PRESENTATION

Good Job. Good Damn Job.

cancer is cancer.

How about healing it with something called positive energy? *Everyone* should watch a video called _Powers Of The Mind! (What we all can actually do!)_. Just search it on KZfaq and tell me, what you think about it.

This woman just ooze smartness.

what about cbd oil?

So any news in 2017';

Cancer Super Villain? We don't need a cure for cancer, we need it legalising!!!

so...a jawbreaker?

the super heroes 's reference were cringy. But good talk overall

There is no profit in a cure.

We dont need all these we have the best protocoll from doctor Nicolla Gobzales in the world.

Not peddling a political or social agenda? Refreshing

Wow

this doesn't seem like something that would be relevant to the public market. production cost along with difficulty of development make it improbable to be used on anyone but the most well insured or wealthy patients. I have stage 4 lung cancer and a developing brain tumor and to be honest this doesn't give me much hope. I believe there will be a cure in the future but I will not live to see it.

I bet she doesn't listen to rap music.

💕

To many dollars made for a cure. $$

Well guess what, we’re losing.

While I think the idea is really interesting, there wasn't very much to this video. Basically all of the detail she offered was metaphorical. There wasn't any information about how it compares to current treatment options with respect to cost or effectiveness or side effects, or indeed any information at all which would be useful to know about it except that it exists. Curing cancer is an awesome goal, but the concept behind TED talks is "Ideas worth spreading", not "here have some hope". There were no actual ideas in this video. If you have proprietary secret technology that you need funding for, trying to give a TED talks presentation to get it seems disingenuous and cynical, and honestly that seems like my biggest impression on what this video - and many of these videos - were for.

This was already cured. It's called a plant based diet. Gerson therapy.

Переведите на русский язык пожалуйста видео

Or you could've have spent your time promoting a vegan diet, which is 70 times more effective at preventing cancer than a standard american diet, instead of spending all your money researching something to cure cancer.

Nerf miner

rediculous

Is This is a startup pharmaceutical company looking for money? Best is not to get cancer in the first place. Diet makes a big difference via a whole food plant based starchy diet that is low protein low fat.
