Could the treatment for incurable diseases (like Alzheimer’s and MS) be hidden inside a cure for the common cold? March 15, 2012

Given the choice between radiation therapy or a combination of surgery and chemotherapy, Scott decided on treatment with a new technology known as linear accelerator — a major advancement in very specific targeting of tumors using powerful doses of “smart beam” radiation.
