I started to skim through it and it seems to have some half-truths about oxygen. Oxygen in pure form is actually very damaging to the human body, especially our lungs. The drug mentioned basically makes oxygen (probably the oxygen is water molecules) radioactive. This is fine in cancer treatment, because we treat cancer with known carcinogens since they already have cancer and the original cancer is the problem you have to fight. Once you start also considering oxygen in water molecules than you are just going off on basically into any organic chemistry situations.

Almost a good thinly veiled slandering attempt, but this has been tested and proven to work. Work in real life, not on the internet. Seems you are just pulling science words together that you happen to memorized.

So, I have read your post over again, and your last sentence is incoherent. What "half-truth's" are you talking about? How does the "drug" mentioned, which is a slandering attempt, again, with no evidence, make it radioactive (another slanderous statement)? Why did you not address any of these in your original post on such a monumental topic?

From the wikipedia link:

Verteporfin (trade name Visudyne), a benzoporphyrin derivative, is a medication used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as the wet form of macular degeneration. Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with a wavelength of 693 nm in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels.

That is what radiation is even if the article doesn't say "radiation". I know this because I have a degree in nuclear medicine. I didn't bother reading past this little section because so much of it was bullshit that I saw that I lost interest. You're defensiveness tells me you don't really care about learning something that doesn't already fit in with your beliefs. So good luck with that. I have no problem questioning doctors and accepted medical practices when it's reasonable. But this article wasn't written in a reasonable way to me.
