	Cancer Therapy with Ion Beams
		The most significant advantage of the therapy with ion beams is that it is possible to aim carbon ions directly at the tumor with great precision.
		With light ions such as carbon, the high-LET effect occurs mainly at the end of the particle track, whereas in the entrance region, an almost normal regeneration ability of the cells is observed, similar to that under treatment with low-LET beams (X-rays, gamma beams, electrons, photons).
		Heavy ion irradiation is especially indicated for patients with diseases in which conventional therapy yields only unsatisfactory results and where survival depends mainly on controlling the tumor.

	Negative Ion \| Russian Olympic Team \| Training \| Secret Weapon \| Negative Ion Therapy
		If the Americans used positive ions in the ventilation of the Russian accommodations to limit the Russians, then it is quite feasible that they could have used negative ions with their own U.S. team.
		The Olympic Committee knows about negative ion training, and has never objected to it, primarily because there are no known side effects and its considered natural, "If you trained within 1/2 a mile of Niagara Falls you would be training in high levels of negative ions.
		Negative ion training certainly has not been widely embraced by athletic trainers, as most believed the Russian study to be propaganda until Cramer confirmed the ongoing undisclosed program recently.

	Inhaled Ionized Oxygen
		The ionized Oxygen Therapy of Dr. Engler is a natural improvement of air ionization and the many oxygen and ozone therapies in general.
		In intact nature, oxygen ions of both polarities are found in minute balanced quantities and in close to equal polarity proportion (a so-called bipolar charge occurrence, due to the exchange of electrons between atoms or molecules during ionization).
		The aim of the therapy is to re-establish the natural bodily immunity as quickly as possible.

	Most powerful laser to date produced at University of Michigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Besides basic research, an important practical application for the laser is ion therapy used to treat cancer patients.
		Ion therapy is successful, but the particle accelerators used for the treatment are so big and expensive -- because they must generate huge amounts of power -- that they render the treatment unavailable to the public.
		Ion therapy is the preferred method to treat cancer because it causes minimal collateral damage to neighboring tissues unlike say, radiation therapy, which damages healthy as well as diseased areas.

	Charged-Particle (Proton or Helium Ion) Radiation Therapy
		Charged-particle beams consisting of protons or helium ions are a type of particulate radiation therapy that contrast with conventional electromagnetic (i.e., photon) radiation therapy due to the unique properties of minimal scatter as the particulate beams pass through the tissue, and deposition of the ionizing energy at a precise depth (i.e., the Bragg Peak).
		Postoperative therapy (with or without conventional high-energy x-rays) in patients who have undergone biopsy or partial resection of the chordoma or low-grade (I or II) chondrosarcoma of the basisphenoid region (skull-base chordoma or chondrosarcoma) or cervical spine.
		Given the evolving acceptance of proton beam therapy as a standard of care and biochemical control as an accepted outcome measure of prostate cancer treatments, the policy is changed to consider proton beam therapy as a medically appropriate treatment option for men with clinically localized prostate cancer.

		The European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy (ENLIGHT), which had its inaugural meeting at CERN in February 2002, was established to coordinate European efforts in using light ion beams for radiation therapy.
		Conventional radiation therapy with photon beams is characterized by energy release that decreases steeply after a maximum at a depth of 2-3 cm for typical beams.
		This was discussed during the meeting, with proposals ranging from identifying a single European facility for studying radiobiology in hadron therapy to the creation of a European network of existing and new facilities.

	CERN launches new cancer therapy initiative
		ENLIGHT – the European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy – aims to coordinate the development of a variety of projects at European facilities for "light ion therapy" – a form of radiation therapy** that uses beams of the nuclei of lightweight atoms.
		However, conventional therapy with X-rays and gamma rays is not very effective for deep-seated tumours, where it is difficult to concentrate the dose on the target area.
		This is mainly because beams of protons or light ions do not diffuse so much as they travel through the body, but simply slow down and eventually deposit most of their energy where they stop.

	VENOSAN Medical Stockings - GRADUATED COMPRESSION THERAPY
		Graduated compression therapy is the "Gold Standard" in the conservative treatment of venous disease.
		In order to be effective, legwear used to provide graduated compression therapy must be knitted so that they are graduated; meaning they must exert their highest pressure, measured in mmHg, at the ankle and that pressure must decrease proximally (up the leg).
		Legwear that provides graduated compression therapy is used to prevent mild varicosities and edema, as well as the treatment of severe cases of chronic venous insufficiency, including the prevention of the recurrence of venous stasis ulcers.
