    Yet another <insert rare thing> kills cancer cells. Hey y’all, cancer cells are your own cells, just mutated to grow when they shouldn’t. This is not just one type of mutation. There are over 200 that they know of.

    https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/what-is-cancer/how-cancer-starts/types-of-cancer

    There is no universal identifier for all cancer cells. Therefore there is nothing that naturally kills them all.

    The only general cure for cancer is to understand the immune system so well you can fine tune it at your discretion, or create a synthetic immune system to do the same. Everything else is just a one off. Still valuable, but not what articles like to claim.
