Cancerous tumors are phenomenally good at overcoming the body’s defenses.  Centuries, eons, of evolution have given them this ability.  Evolution has made we humans what we are – but also created a horde of diabolical enemies—and cancer is among the leading one.   Ten million people die of cancer yearly!  This is equal to the entire population of Israel.

Science Daily reports: “A new experimental drug called CS18 may help break through cancer drug resistance by disabling several of the defenses tumors use to survive treatment. It strengthened existing therapies, restored drug sensitivity in resistant lung cancer cells, and slowed tumor growth in animal models.”   **
