Am I glad to see this post. If only I had come on here and done the same when I was in your place...Now I can share my experience with you.I'm a junior, biology major at USC, premed. I got a 31 on the ACT and pretty much got all 5's and a few 4's on AP exams.. I got into all of the UC's (including Berkeley and UCLA), USC, and Northeastern. I knew from the start my ultimate-goal was to become a doctor, so I chose USC because back then, I though:"Oh, the curves at Berkeley and UCLA would kill me. I better go to USC because its the next best thing and being a private school, surely they've got to be a little more generous with the curve and grade distribution... and that's what I need.. a high GPA from a decent school in order to get me to medschool... and USC has a some sort of a social life. sounds perfect."In addition, I got enough financial aid at USC to match what I'd pay at a UC. A no brainer, right?Well, let me tell you.. Talk about grade deflation.The small, tiny tiny detail I overlooked when picking my college, was that being a private school, USC kind of weeds out the "riff-raff", where as public (California) universities of supposedly the same caliber do it to a lesser extent (this makes the curves a little easier). As a result, the science classes are extremely competitive here. They told us something the first day of Bio120 (the intro bio class) that stuck with me and is absolutely true. They told us to look to our right, look to our left, introduce ourselves, and that out of our group of 3, only 1 would actually stick with premed til graduation. I think I have one or two friends that are still premed.. The vast majority have dropped. I've seen several friends' exams from the equivalent classes at Berkeley, UCLA, and lower tier UC's.. The exams here are designed to be a notch harder. Our exams are mostly all free-response and with the exception of a few classes, they don't test from the book. They expect everyone to know the book back and forth, and they'll throw new application-type questions at you that you've never seen before. Now I'm just rambling, but long story short:-premed here is TOUGH-people here are damn smart, and the curves will be very challenging, and are meant to weed people out-know what you're getting yourself into-expect to work a little harder for your gpaWith all that said, USC's average MCAT scores are perhaps a bit higher than other schools.. but still... if I had gone to UC Irvine or UCSC or a similar school and put the same amount of effort I put in here, I would have had a better gpa. I'm not saying its "easy" at other schools-- not by any means, and premed is hard anywhere.. But I'm comfortable saying it's a notch harder at USC than at other public schools of this caliber. I'm not trying to show off or brag about my school, I'm trying to advise incoming premeds of what I wish someone had told me.And lets face it... if you're premed, undergrad doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter that you have a "X University" label on your degree. It matters that you get a good gpa and are able to do well on the MCATs so you can get into medschool. Admissions officers don't care if you came from USC or UC Merced. If you have a 3.2 from USC and Mr.Merced has a 3.8, guess who's getting in (assuming similar MCATs)? Plus if you don't have financial aid, youd pay a fraction of the cost elsewhere.Make your decision wisely, and good luck! study hard!EDIT: PS, if your major is BME, its a little harder even.08-22-2013 at 8:25 pmnewsflash: premed is a tough road anywhere. There are no shortcuts.It is true that a student will likely have to work that much harder for an A if they have standardized test scores in the middle 50% of their peers. I would not suggest, however, that college applicants who are potential premeds aim at colleges for which they are clearly overqualified. A possible exception is an offer of a substantial merit scholarship along with special classes or research opportunities. Best bet is to find the right match where the student will be happy and productive09-21-2013 at 6:55 amDad2013 wrote:Will USC pre-med program give a good advice and better chance in research to their students ?Do you mean like finding research? I'm pretty sure they're gonna steer you in the direction of essentially telling you to read the summary of various professor's work, find one you're interested in and email them about asking to join their lab. Then they'll say here is the list of research grants you can apply to to get funding and/or Directed Research as a class. The are plenty of opportunities but you have to seek them out for the most part.09-25-2013 at 8:41 amLots of great input already in this thread, and I just wanted to chip in my own thoughts/experience with being premed at USC. USC prides itself in enabling close interaction between faculty and students. Research opportunities are abundant and there are a couple of undergrad funding grants that you can apply for every semester. The Pre-Health Advisement Office led by Dr. Kenneth Geller works really hard to make sure every premed student is informed, well-prepared and successful as a med school applicant. They put on events and workshops covering a wide array of relevant pre-health topics almost every week. Premed is tough at every school and a competitive GPA is not guaranteed by any means, but USC treats your education seriously and you really do gain a lot here if you're willing to work hard.09-25-2013 at 9:24 amDad2013 wrote:Is there any requirement to stay in pre-med program ?Pre-med or in broader terms, pre-health is merely the set of classes required for admission and subjects tested on the entrance exam (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, OAT, etc.), there is no actual program. However, people do "drop out" per say after doing poorly in the intro or weeder classes and change their major or pursue different career goals.12-28-2013 at 9:33 amHello ekar18061:Do you have any data on how many USC students get into UC or top 20 medical schools in the last 2 years?Any stats like average GPA and MCAT for those schools?Thanks.

I have never heard of the term “social businessman.” Perhaps it is a language translation problem?I will take a wild stab at this, assuming you are referring to social entrepreneurship. You will want to go to a good University that specializes in this field. Just be sure to do something in addition to getting good grades and good scores in High School, in order to be accepted, in order to write a convincing letter of why you selected that school's program. Talk to your guidance counselor. Become President of one of your school clubs, be in the school play, join the debate club, give speeches, volunteer at several nonprofit organizations in your town, and see if any take on high school kids as board members.Here are the top 25 schools…From Ellie Burke written for classy.org1.University of PennsylvaniaLocated: Philadelphia, PAStudent-Faculty Ratio: 6:1Fun Fact: Famously founded by Benjamin Franklin.Social Entrepreneurship Programs:The Wharton School offers an undergraduate concentration in Social Impact & Responsibility, as well as an MBA/MSW in partnership with the Penn School of Social Policy and Practice.At the Penn School of Social Policy & Practice you can earn a Master of Social Work, an MS in Social Policy or Nonprofit Leadership, or a PhD in Social Welfare.

CANCER IS SERIOUS BUSINESS (Read it, it may save your life)A quote worth sharing“The system is rigged. They want us to believe that it'll protect us, but that's a lie. We protect us. We do. Nobody else. Not the companies, not the scientists, not the government”. 'Us'. - Rob Bilott (Dark Waters)The Man who cured CancerForgotten Genius: “Royal Raymond Rife”The inventor and his invaluable contributions to imaging and medical microscopyScience has known for quite some time that all things vibrate at their own personal frequency. Certain emotions sustained over time can change our vibrational frequencies and manifest in illness. Recently I read an article that explained how current research is using resonant frequency to destroy cancer cells. As exciting as that prospect is, it’s not a new approach. Royal Raymond Rife made an invaluable contribution to medical microscopes.As a scientist, inventor, and engineer, particularly in imaging and medical microscopy, Royal Raymond Rife was a genius. He was to medical optics what Nikola Tesla was to physics. In 1913, industrial tycoon Henry Timken of the Timken Roller Bearing Company in Canton, Ohio, sought Rife’s help to solve a manufacturing problem. The solution was a scanning machine that could evaluate the quality of the steel used in the company’s roller bearings before going into production. The scanner improved the quality of the company’s products and streamlined production to such a degree that Timken was overjoyed. When he learned that Rife’s passion was medical imaging, Timken gave him his full financial support and set him up at the family’s estate in San Diego to create his personal lab. No expense was too great and nothing was held back.Rife’s previous work had led him to believe that microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) were at the root of all disease. To prove his theory, he had to see these pathogens in their live state during his experiments, some of which were so small, particularly viruses, that no imaging equipment existed that could come close to viewing them. That wasn’t a stumbling block to Rife. As a mechanical engineer and microscopy expert, he built a microscope that could magnify 60,000 times, and the superior magnification was equaled by its resolution. The microorganisms Rife was viewing were so infinitesimally small that the atoms in the chemical stain normally used to expose microorganisms would have obscured them. Instead Rife’s microscope used monochromatic light that caused the organism to fluoresce. Rife could identify the virus he was observing by the color it refracted.Years later in 1944, both the “Journal of the Franklin Institute for Scientific and Mechanical Arts and The Smithsonian” featured the Rife Universal Microscope alongside the newly created electron microscope in articles on emerging technology in optics. In The Smithsonian article entitled “The New Microscopes,” three micrographs from the Rife Universal Microscope were printed. The resolution of those images was unmatched by any existing technology, including the electron microscope. In fact they’re still unmatched even by today’s technology. What’s more, those images were taken ten years prior by Rife in 1934. Rife discovered that a simple electromagnetic wave wasn’t enough to destroy a microorganism. Instead he found a radio frequency wave was readily accepted by the body if it was emitted by a gas within a glass tube. The other astounding feature of the Rife Universal Microscope was that viruses could be viewed in their live state, like a movie, whereas the electron microscope could only view viruses in still images, or like photos. When studying any organism, observing how it moves and behaves in real time provides much more valuable information than viewing it as a static image. Over the course of 20 years, Rife would build five of his microscopes, some requested by the most prestigious research scientists in the world. The Rife Universal Microscope created a paradigm shift in pathology and microbiology research because much of what his device could do is still considered impossible today. But the biggest change was yet to come. Knowing everything vibrated at its own frequency, Rife believed that if he could discover the vibrational frequencies at which disease-causing microorganisms vibrated, then he could bombard them with that frequency until they shook so hard they exploded, the same way an opera singer matches the frequency of a wine glass with her voice and shatters it.

Instead he found a radio frequency wave was readily accepted by the body if it was emitted by a gas within a glass tube. This allowed the frequency wave to penetrate deeply into the body with scalpel-like precision. Because the wave was precisely tuned to the frequency of the microorganism, only the pathogen was affected, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.Rife considered a disease cured when he could destroy a microorganism ten consecutive times using what he called its Mortal Oscillatory Rate (MOR). His surviving records show he found the MOR for 24 microorganisms including anthrax, cholera, tetanus, B. coli, influenza, spinal meningitis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, syphilis, gonorrhea, leprosy, streptococcus, conjunctivitis, bubonic plague, staphylococcus, diphtheria, and typhoid.It’s exciting and enraging to think that cancer, along with many other diseases, was cured 83 years ago, and yet half a million people die from malignancies every year.By now Rife’s accomplishments were attracting a lot of attention from the press and he was working with the most respected medical experts of the day. These included Dr. E. C. Rosenow, bacteriologist and head of the pathology department at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Arthur Kendall, bacteriologist at Northwestern University, Dr. Milbank Johnson of the University of Southern California (USC) and head of the Medical Society of California, Lee De Forrest, technology scientist, and William D. Coolidge, physicist.Unfortunately Rife was also attracting a lot of negative press, mainly from the FDA, American Medical Association, medical establishment and Harvard University. To prove his detractors wrong, he along with Dr. Rosenow invited several of Rife’s most prestigious but severest critics to a demonstration where he destroyed the poliomyelitis virus with its MOR (Mortal Oscillatory Rate) in 1932, twenty years before the vaccine was invented and thirty years before it became available to the public.Hidden beneath his critics’ astonishment at what they’d seen was panic. They knew Rife’s microscope and beam-ray technology would mean the loss of billions of dollars to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutes, not to mention the overnight elimination of entire fields of medical science and research, as well as the discrediting of thousands of careers of the most highly respected university and medical center physicians, scientists and administrators. Just days after the demonstration, Dr. Rosenow was fired from his position at the Mayo Clinic, and the fix was in to bury Rife’s research.Uneasy about Dr. Rosenow’s fate and what might be brewing for him behind the scenes, Rife pressed on. He knew a microorganism was at the root of cancer and was determined to find it. That same year, he discovered a virus in a breast tumor that he called the BX virus. Even more, he found the BX virus to be pleomorphic, meaning that it changed form based on its terrain. He discovered its MOR and was able to destroy it.Never having used his beam ray on a living creature, Rife introduced the BX virus into rats. Sure enough, they developed huge tumors. Using his beam ray to expose the tumors to their MOR, Rife was able to completely heal the rats. Seeing these incredible results, Dr. Johnson from USC insisted that it was time to try the beam ray on human patients. Rife was apprehensive, but insisted that if they were to have human trials, a research committee comprised of physicians at the top of the most prestigious medical associations had to be part of the proceedings. Dr. Johnson agreed and pulled a committee together that even included Dr. Alvin Ford, President of the American Association of Pathologists, a member Rife specifically requested.The trials included 16 terminally ill patients with various cancers and were conducted at the Ella Scripps mansion and estate in La Jolla, CA in 1934. In just 70 days, the committee declared the first 14 patients cured of their cancer. The remaining two were declared cured three weeks later. Incredibly, the patients only required two 3-minute sessions per week to achieve total recovery. Rife found that more-frequent sessions didn’t allow the lymphatic system enough time to take up the released toxins from the destroyed virus and remove them from the body.Later that year, a black tie banquet was held to honor Rife and “Celebrate the End of All Disease.” Less than 15 years later, however, none of the people at that dinner would even admit to knowing Rife, who would be left in poverty with his career ruined. His five microscopes would be confiscated along with the majority of his records and the two known beam-ray machines in existence. Today scientists are still struggling to recreate Rife’s technology from the remnants of what wasn’t destroyed of his writings.It’s exciting and enraging to think that cancer, along with many other diseases, was cured 83 years ago, and yet half a million people die from malignancies every year. As an institution mired in politics and money, the medical establishment seems to be the worst at killing its prophets and saints. Hopefully this new generation of courageous scientists will be able to put together the pieces from an unsung genius and recreate the “end of all disease” in his memory.Hyperthermia (up to 113°F) kills cancer cell usually with minimal injury to normal tissue research should be done to channel and target it for curing cancer without damaging our brain and other organs.Watch it before it gets removed“Cancer cure coverup” Dr. S. R. Burzynski another genius who cured cancer.A pioneering medical doctor and PhD biochemist who won the largest and possibly the most convoluted legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history. Burzynski's battles were centered on his belief in Antineoplastons, a gene-targeting cancer therapy he discovered in the 1970s. The ultimate approval of Antineoplastons would mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, would hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting, life-saving medical breakthrough. Burzynski's first-person testimonials of cancer patients who chose his treatment instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation with full disclosure of original medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery.There is almost nothing about this film that isn't controversial. Even the Wikipedia entry, which is pretty tough on the doctor and his treatment, is challenged by the flims website, which claims "the Wikipedia editors refuse to allow anything that show these medicines in a positive light to be allowed to be included in the Wiki post."Watch the documentary by Eric Merola.Must watch might save someone's lifeDid you know?Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician and scientist, now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. Described as the "saviour of mothers".Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal fever (also known as "childbed fever") could be drastically cut by the use of hand disinfection in obstetrical clinics. Puerperal fever was common in mid-19th-century hospitals and often fatal. Semmelweis proposed the practice of washing with chlorinated lime solution in 1847 while working in Vienna General Hospital First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had three times the mortality of midwives wards.He published a book of his findings in Etiology, Concept and Prophylaxis of Childbed Fever.Despite various publications of results where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis supposedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. He died 14 days later after being beaten by the guards, from a gangrenous wound on his right hand which might have been caused by the beating. Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory, and Joseph Lister, acting on the French microbiologist's research, practised and operated using hygienic methods, with great success.Must ReadFor the past 27 years, Life Extension has identified life-saving medications that languished too long in the FDA’s archaic approval process.When effective new drugs are delayed, the inevitable consequence is needless human suffering and death. An equally insidious problem is the chilling effect bureaucratic roadblocks have on the development of better drugs that might actually cure the disease.Just imagine the difficulty of raising the tens of millions of dollars needed to get a new cancer drug into the approval pipeline when prospective investors see the FDA deny a drug with documented efficacy, as was done recently with Provenge. (Refer to page 7 for the complete story of the FDA’s denial of Provenge.)Another problem with the FDA’s unpredictable approval pattern is the outrageous cost of the cancer drugs that actually make it to market. Classes of cancer drugs (like anti-angiogenesis agents) that Life Extension long ago advocated are finally approved. The problem is that the out-of-pocket cost of these new drugs can exceed $12,000 per month. The media has reported on heart-wrenching stories of cancer patients who choose to die rather than send their families into bankruptcy from paying these costs.It’s easy to point fingers at drug companies for charging such extortionist prices, but the harsh reality is that getting these medications approved by the FDA is so costly and risky that the high prices can arguably be justified by the hideously inefficient drug approval process that now exists.In this article, we review a few of many drugs that have been shown to be effective against cancer, but are not yet approved by the FDA. While there are dozens of anti-cancer drugs in various stages of the approval process, the sad truth is that thousands of compounds with anti-cancer activity will never be submitted for FDA approval due to lack of patentability, lack of investor funding, or just plain unwillingness to deal with today’s cancer bureaucracy.It has become brutally apparent that the system of drug approval needs a radical overhaul. We have some specific proposals at the end of this eye-opening article.Each day, about 1,500 Americans perish from cancer. Each day, over 3,000 Americans are diagnosed with this dreaded disease.1 While the general population is relatively ignorant about medicine, virtually everyone knows that a cancer diagnosis means exposure to therapies that produce miserable—if not lethal—side effects. The public is also aware that in too many cases, government-approved therapies fail to cure the disease.*Now im gonna tell you something which you might find as a complete shocker*A conversation with the lawyer Rob Bilott is like a slap across the face. It doesn’t feel good. But it does get your attention.According to Bilott, we face a “unique health threat” from a class of industrial chemicals that most Americans have never heard of. These chemicals are widely used in everyday products such as non-stick cookware and stain-resistant fabrics, even though science show they are linked to a range of deadly diseases, reproductive problems and other ailments. Powerful corporations are fighting to protect the use of these profitable chemical compounds, Bilott says, and US regulators are doing next to nothing to stop them. It’s worth listening to what Bilott has to say. He has spent the last two decades advocating for people in West Virginia and Ohio whose water was contaminated with one of these toxins, a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA.Do watch these movies if you haven't watched it yet. Based on this agenda.*Now lets get into some details*3MPFAS DANGER3M has long known it was contaminating the US food supplyMultinational manufacturer 3M, which developed two types of industrial chemical now found in the blood of virtually all Americans, has known since 2001 that those chemicals were entering the food supply, according to a newly surfaced study.That year, the company sponsored a study of several types of food from around the US. The study surfaced this week, when the Intercept’s Sharon Lerner reported that the document was on file with the US Environmental Protection Agency.3M made Scotchgard and other non-stick, waterproof, or stain-resistant products using PFOA and PFOS, two chemicals in a class known as PFAS. Production of Scot ended after 2000. In 2001, 3M funded the study to test food samples from six US cities. High levels of the compounds were found in ground beef, milk, green beans and apples. The contaminated food came from Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia.In a statement to Quartz, 3M said it published the report in 2001 and “shared this report with the EPA within seven days,” adding, “This report is one of thousands of documents we have placed in the public domain related to the study of PFAS chemistries. We will continue to engage with members of our communities, elected officials and regulators to share information about these chemistries,” 3M wrote.What 3M knew about PFASAs Lerner has reported, 3M knew as early as the 1970s that PFAS was accumulating in human blood, and conducted experiments on rats and monkeys that led the company to believe the compounds “should be regarded as toxic.”PFAS do not degrade in the environment. Decades of use has created a widespread and ongoing Contamination crisis. At this point, most people in the US have been exposed to chemicals in the PFAS family, of which there are as many as 5,000, and water supplies serving tens of millions are likely contaminated as well. The revelation about PFAS entering the food supply, however, is a relatively new addition to the roster of ways people have been exposed.PFAS chemicals have been linked to a range of health risks including cancer, thyroid disease, elevated cholesterol, immune-system issues, and developmental problems in fetuses.Both 3M and DuPont have ceased production of PFOA and PFAS in the US, but DuPont continues to manufacture it in China. In Brazil, contamination is widespread due to a popular pesticide that degrades into PFAS. In Jordan0, researchers found PFAS in women’s breast milk at levels more than double the advised US health level. American dairy farmers have found PFAS in their milk. Other chemicals in the PFAS family, including GenX, continue to be manufactured in places like North Carolina.Decades of widespread use of PFAS for everything from waterproofing clothes to firefighting foam has made the exposure global: Health issues arising from PFAS are estimated to cost Europe 50 billion euros per year. A UN committee responsible for toxic chemical policy agreed to ban the compounds this year (the US is not party to the pact).PFAS back in the newsWord of the 19-year-old 3M study comes a week after nonprofit Environmental Working Group published a photo of a poster containing unreleased US Food and Drug Administration findings about PFAS in food. The agency detected PFAS in chocolate cake, meat, seafood, sweet potatoes, and pineapple. It was the first known test of food for PFAS by the FDA.After EWG’s poster release, the FDA published its findings along with a press release stating that the “FDA does not have any indication that these substances are a human health concern” at the levels detected, adding that the “science surrounding the potential health effects of PFAS is developing” and “current evidence suggests that the bioaccumulation of certain PFAS may cause serious health conditions.”“However, with the decrease in production and use of certain PFAS, levels in humans in the US have been declining,” the FDA added.As Lerner reports, Rob Bilott—whose 1999 lawsuit against DuPont on behalf of residents near its Teflon plant in West Virginia put PFAS contamination on the map wrote a June 11 letter to the FDA asking whether it knew about 3M’s food study before now and if how long officials knew there were high levels of the compounds in food.The FDA said in a statement that it has received Bilott’s letter “and is reviewing it at this time.”Why are highly fluorinated chemicals harmful?Highly fluorinated chemicals contain carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds, which are some of the strongest bonds in nature. That makes them both incredibly resistant to breakdown and very useful. For instance, they can make products grease or stain-resistant, nonstick, or waterproof. However, this comes at a cost.The highly fluorinated chemicals that have been well-studied have been associated with:testicular and kidney cancerliver malfunctionhormonal changesthyroid disruptionhigh cholesterolobesityulcerative colitislower birth weight and sizeOther highly fluorinated chemicals are suspected of similarly causing health problems, but have not been well tested.Because they are resistant to breakdown, these chemicals can persist in our bodies for years. In the environment, they can last for millions of years. This means that the highly fluorinated chemicals released during our lifetimes will build up in the environment, and many future generations will be exposed to them, at even higher levels than we are today.Scientists from all over the world signed the Madrid Statement to share their concerns about highly fluorinated chemicals and are asking for a limit to the production and use of these chemicals.On May 1, 2015, the Madrid Statement was published in Environmental Health Perspectives, a high-impact scientific journal.How are we exposed?Highly fluorinated chemicals are used in consumer products such as cookware, clothing, outdoor apparel, carpeting, and food packaging to provide nonstick, oil- and water resistant properties. They are also used in some kinds of cosmetics.We are exposed to them by direct contact with these products, but also through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.They have been detected at high levels in humans and wildlife all over the globe.What can you do?Ask yourself, “Do I really need products that are stain-resistant, nonstick, or waterproof?” Knowing the consequences, you might choose to give up some conveniences or product performance.Steps you can take:Avoid products that are oil repellant or stain resistant.Only purchase waterproof gear when you really need it.Avoid cosmetics with PTFE or any word containing “perfluor” or “polyfluor” on their ingredients list.Replace your Teflon nonstick cookware with cast iron, glass, or ceramic.Avoid microwave popcorn and greasy foods wrapped in paper.Tell retailers and manufacturers you want products without fluorinated chemicals.Support companies committed to phasing out highly fluorinated chemicals, such as the apparel brands that have joined Greenpeace’s detox campaign, and the fast food chains that removed them from food packaging as a result of EWG's action.If you are concerned about PFAS in your drinking water, consider installing an in-home filter on your tap. EWG summarized what is known about the efficacy of the different filter options.All products from these apparel brands are free of highly fluorinated chemicals after these dates.Look Carefully at the imagesHarsh truth is that medical facilities prioritise business rather than treatment and patient are customer for few doctor's.*SOURCES*Forgotten Genius: Royal Raymond Rife - Be Hive Of HealingHyperthermia in Cancer Treatment.Cancer Is 'Serious Business.'
