Photodynamic Therapy PDT
Photodynamic Therapy, or PDT, has only been around a hundred years or so but seems almost in its infancy as an alternative cancer therapy to beat cancer and kill cancer cells. The reason for this is simple.

Firstly, the desire to find non-invasive therapies with far less side-effects than orthodox treatments such as chemo- and radiotherapy.

Secondly, the rapid expansion of our knowledge over the agents that can be used to target in on cancer cells.
 
Thirdly, the rapid development of ´Light technology´ via the use of lasers.

Photodynamic therapy uses an agent to ´lock in on´ cancer cells. This agent is then stimulated by light to produce oxygen, which is known to kill cancver cells, without harming normal healthy cells.

The development of new agents, particularly ´green´ algae and the like allows cancer cells to be more tightly targeted.
They can also be targeted in several locations in the body simultaneouslt.

And new laser technology allows even deep cancers to be attacked since light of certain frequencies can now penetrate more deeply into the body than ever before, without causing harm.

New technology is bringing out the true potential of PDT as an Alternative treatment for cancer.
