Call for Donors for a Private Effort to Apply Leukocyte Infusion Anti-Cancer Therapy

You can be part of validating a promising anti-cancer therapy.

If you are under the age of 30 and have no history of cancer in your family (parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, brothers and sisters all with no cancer) then there is a private effort where you can donate some blood and find out if you anti-cancer cells. If your blood type matches they will be used for the experimental treatment of an anti-aging researcher. This is a real effort and the author has personally met the anti-aging researcher who has the cancer, who spoke at Foresight Unconference last year.

Benefits of applying and donating:
1. You could find out that you have cancer immunity. Tests would be paid by Kronos Lab.
2. You could save someones life
3. You could advance a potentially broadly applicable treatment for cancer. Transferring cancer immunity from highly immune people to those without immunity. Broad success could save millions each year.
4. This private effort could accelerate the development of this treatment by one year or more. 7 million people die each year from cancer worldwide. Getting a one year acceleration on a broadly successful cure for cancer would be a very good thing.

Here is a description of the private effort.

The protocol for this therapy involves identifying young donors with a blood type matching the patient and with no history of cancer in their family. These donors must also have a tissue type that is appropriate for this type of transfusion (similar to the typing done for organ donation but the “matching” is a little bit different). Samples from these donors are tested for their granulocyte cancer-killing ability. We need to find a minimum of 4 people, preferably more, who have a compatible cell type and high cancer-killing activity.

This effort is very time sensitive. I need to find matched donors as quickly as possible. The initial screening involves only a questionnaire and a standard blood draw. Promising matches will move to Phase II of this process, which involves a possible trip to an East Coast research center where scientists can perform the cancer killing activity test (using another standard blood draw). Travel would of course be provided.

The strongest candidates after the cancer killing activity is determined will be selected to have their granulocytes removed using pheresis technology, the same technology used for platelet donation. Granulocyte populations replenish within 2 hours. Granulocyte pheresis is commonly used for other indications so there is nothing new or controversial about the donation. These cells would then be transfused into me in hopes that they recognize the tumor and attack it.
