At first, when I read this above article, I was very skeptical of their claim that radio waves alone could be effectively used to treat cancer as radio waves, unlike X-rays, have no significant ionizing effect so I found it difficult to believe this would work.
But, I think this is very unlikely to be a hoax because, if you read it carefully, they say the have "shown" it to work and they describe a specific experiment for it that can be readily replicated in other labs to check the validly of the claimed results and therefore if it was a hoax then that hoax would soon be easily blown and then they would be done for scientific fraud and disgraced and punished accordingly and they would surely know it and thus I think they surely wouldn't be that STUPID as to try and pull off such a flimsy hoax!
They also explained an apparently plausible biological mechanism of how this radio-wave therapy could actually work, which further increases my confidence that this is no hoax. It really surprises me that radio-waves alone could credibly ever be used to cure cancer.
I hope this would lead to cures for many types of cancers but, given the appalling long history of many proposed cancer treatments seeming very hopeful at first only to be found to be mostly ineffective, what do you think are the chances that this one will?
