AI Thread Summary
To prove that a method can destroy cancer cells, a tissue sample containing cancer cells is typically used for testing. The effectiveness of the treatment can be assessed by comparing the presence of cancer cells before and after the application of the method. However, it is crucial to note that conducting such experiments requires specialized training and education. Proper methodologies and controls are necessary to ensure that non-cancerous cells remain unharmed. The discussion emphasizes that cancer research should be conducted by professionals due to the complexities involved.

If I wanted to prove that some method is capable of destroying cancer cells, what would be the simplest
way of going about this. Would it be sufficient to take a tissue sample containing cancer cells, and apply
the procedure on it? How would you detect the existence of cancer cells before and after treatment?

Sorry if this is utter nonsense, I am very unfamiliar with this field.

Without the proper training and education you cannot prove that some method is capable of destroying cancer cells while leaving the many different types of non-cancerous cells in your body alive and undamaged. Cancer research should be left to the professionals. Thread locked.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
