Could this be cancer treatment's holy grail?

Here is an amazing article I stumbled upon, about a cancer patient with no background in medicine, who has invented what experts are heralding as the most exciting discovery cancer research has seen in decades: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/27/earlyshow/health/main3206892.shtml
I would absolutely love to see this work, and so far it seems to work flawlessly. It really looks like this concept can kill cancer cells while leaving a patient's bodily cells completely unscathed. They say testing on humans is a couple years away as of yet, but tests on rabbits have yielded a 100% success rate!!! Whaddya think?

Interesting. Wouldn't it be something if the cure for cancer was finally found by someone with no medical background?!
I hope it turns out to have some substance to it, we hear of so many potential breakthroughs in cancer treatments but then never hear any more about them. Lets hope the human testing goes ahead and produces positive results too.

Yes, let's. I will be keeping Mr. Kanzius and his machine in my prayers. It is truly exciting to know that the concept and the machine seem to work perfectly on rabbits, but you never know when there might turn out to be some sort of obstacle in the human body. Hopefully not; hopefully we see that same 100% success rate. I know a person or two who might certainly be disappointed that this machine wasn't around a few years earlier, but unfortunately it just can't be helped. Salute!

So far, there appear to be no kinks. But I have no background in medicine myself, and no idea how many facets there may be to this sort of thing. My first hope is that they don't find any kinks at all, but if they do, I too hope they can iron them out. Cheers!
