Survival

Watch the Full Episode: “Survival”

Mark E. Davis, a successful chemical engineer, never dreamed that he would reinvent his career and create a revolutionary kind of cancer drug. But everything changed when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. 10 years later, IT-101, the nanoparticle drug he engineered, was approved for a six-month trial in humans. Also, meet a group of young, hopeful scientists who are setting their sights on a resource that provides enough energy in one hour to power the entire globe for one year-the sun. They believe they can create an “artificial leaf” that uses sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

A wonderful video, an even more wonderful effort by a bunch of great people dedicated to improving life. More trials, we must make this available to all who need it. To hell with government regs. Let patients and doctors choose their own methods of treatment.

Clips work fine. Able to slide through the timeline… Watching a full episode sucks, the player is different, video choppy and cannot scan through video with slider.

This show was so amazing. I have told so many of my friends that are cancer patients to check this site out and especially your story. You are a blessing to this world if only the fda would approve soon to save or help so many people. I had ovarian cancer 20 yrs. ago and I’m still here after a very long wait for recovery. Thank you for sharing your show with the world.
