Not so obviously about the cancer cure. He is suggesting small bits
of metal be stuck to the cancer cells (the tricky bit) and then RF to
heat the cells with the metal bits. If the fist step can be done,
they may be something to it. Some cancer cells can be chemically
recognized by their surfaces.

Gold nanoparticles will bind to EFGR receptors found in great quanity
on the surface of cancer cells. Normal cells also have them, but in
much smaller quantities. The method is being currently being tested
as a method of cancer detection. If Kanzius is successful, it may
also turn into a method of treatment.

The gold nanoparticles can also be used to deliver drugs and DNA
treatment to the cancer cells, while avoiding normal cells.

Those are cute tricks, but it isn't the gold per se doing the work.
Rather, the gold nano-particles are coated with suitable coatings that
adhere to the desired targets. That's where the majick is, thus
making Kanzius' fantastical mystery machine--a 13.56 MHz ISM band
generator--look a bit small by comparison.

Nice links. Thanks.
