Cancer fighter John Kanzius, K3TUP, (SK):
John Kanzius, K3TUP, who was featured in the January issue of CQ magazine, has died. Kanzius, a former TV station owner who devoted his latter years to
developing new tools to fight cancer after he was diagnosed with the disease, was 64. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper, Kanzius passed away
early Wednesday morning, February 18, from pneumonia that developed as a result of chemotherapy. Kanzius used his ham radio knowledge to develop a totally
new means of killing cancer cells -- by "tagging" them with tiny metal "nanoparticles" and then subjecting them to a very strong RF field which heated the cancer cells
(but not surrounding healthy tissue) to a point where they could not reproduce. Researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are working to bring
the method to clinical trials. Kanzius' technology also showed promise for extracting energy from salt water, something that is being studied at Penn State University.
He is survived by his wife, Marianne, two daughters and two grandchildren.

Another good one gone west.
John truly was a man who thought outside the box. Just think what he could have done with a few more years.
thanks for all your efforts John... keep smiling down on us that are left.

Ah What a shame....
I was just telling my XYL about him and how he was trying to use radio waves to cure cancer. He looked so good on the TV show I saw where they were "burning" saltwater.
My condolences to his family and friends.
