Sound Waves Kill Skin and Prostate Cancer Cells 107
Anonymous Coward writes "A recent Study
in the
British Journal of Cancer shows that the use of
Quercitin
and 20KHz ultrasound for 60 seconds killed skin and prostate cancer cells. 90% of the
abnormal cells were dead within 48hrs.
Since low frequency ultrasound was previously shown to enhance the skin penetration of
topical substances up to 1000 times, it would seem that a topical Quercetin cream with a low
frequency ultrasound wand might be just the ticket for those annoying little skin cancers that
tend to occur in older geeks who have spent a bit of time in the sun."
