YJ Sciences signs checks, the figures squeezed out of Youth Juice™ sales profits, to kids with leukemia. Laboratories have been funded to test cures in new form for the relapse of this cancer.

Dr. Kirk Schultz from partner BC Children Hospital admits to having treated 80 to 85 percent of leukemics with regular chemotherapy. The story goes that in 1 out of 6 children, the disease returns, sending the first treatment notches down the effectivity meter. Even oncologists run out of options for these kids on the second comeback.

Gold should be minted to subsidize efforts in developing therapies that will prevent future reoccurrences, if all it takes are industrial microscopes to find replacements for bone marrow transplants. Bob Edwards and Lynda Perry did not have YJ Sciences as a brainchild for nothing. The backbone strength of their TACL Program is in the research.

CPDOGNs is just one term in Phase 1 of the clinical trial, where lab-tested procedures are applied in a child for the first time. These agents redirect one’s immune system to attack malignant cells, in lieu of borrowing from someone’s immune system via bone marrow transfer. The likes of Dr. Schultz dream that “something like this would actually cure them and allow them to have the same opportunities . . . to have children of their own, have a job of their own, have the same trials and tribulations [people] have when [they] don’t have to worry about leukemia.”

This study took 10 years to complete, but such long-term funding stretches lifetimes.
