Dr. Shana Kelley leads a team of human cell hunters, and they developed a unique and highly sensitive cell processor that can pull incredibly rare, disease-fighting cells out of blood. Recently, they used the device to search for immune cells that can fight cancer, and uncovered surprising and exciting results that may have immense impact on the future of cancer.

Join Dr. Shana Kelley as she brings you on a journey through discovery, learn a little bit about immunotherapy, and get excited about what the next era of cancer treatments may look like. A talk to find hope from, and to share and view with those in your life affected by cancer.

    so do I understand well, that this team filters out those rare cells that can fight cancer, multiples them, then the patient is given back this increased amount of cancer fighting cells in an injection. Like it.

    Is she related to the Dr. Kelley that treated Steve McQueen ? My Mother was treated by a Dr. Kelly for Melanoma in the eighties. At the time it was considered a fatal diagnosis and her prognosis was grim. He treated her with a combination of Vitamins , minerals , enzymes and coffee enema’s. She is now 88 years old and Healthy. My Mother was introduced to Kelly by a friend that also had cancer and was given six months to live at the time , she too is still alive and well. I know Dr. Kelly was treated as a criminal at the time , lost his license and had to practice in secret due to his unorthodox treatment process. I met him once and remember him as a very nice man ,I am convinced that he saved my Mothers life and many more.

    🇯🇵— Sincere apologies are the super glue of lasting relationships. And do make sure your apology is sincere too. Say it and mean it. Don’t bother apologizing if you’re just going to continue doing the things you said sorry for. Never ruin an apology with an excuse. Excuses are not apologies.

    Welcome February❤️ 👏🏻😊 Though February is short , it is filled with lots of love and sweet surprises💋 👏🏻😊 😊👏😊👏😊
  • So, I have an idea based on the video of your testing and observing cells. In the recessed catch cement a cancer, or allow it to flow as well, try both! Then move the flow as it would within the body. Do so in a continual loop making sure all passing cells have the opportunity to discover the cancer. I would even do test fasting and feeding all cells. Watch to see what takes interest in and/or attacks the cancer. I'd recommend running the same test unobserved as well. Only checking in to see any interactions. As such cells are discovered find and understand how and why they are produced and reproduce. Then you can encourage and optimize the body itself to do so.

    I’m very intrigued - in reference to skin cancer cure possibilities 🙏
