Check out these links before you post, please. The first one is the most concise, I reckon.
Popular Science - A Homebuilt Tumor Killer
Wikipedia - John Kanzius
Kanzius Cancer Research

This is the bee in their britches. This is the proof that there is no massive conspiracy against "free-thinkers" and autodidacts. This man has NOT been ignored by the medical community, in fact he has been embraced by it for DEMONSTRATING INSTEAD OF CLAIMING that his out-of-the-box ideas are worth more than the paper he first wrote them down on. He demonstrated the validity of his idea. He didn't arm-wave and holler about how smart he was. In fact, he's even showed serious humility. In an interview with Popular Science writer Rena Marie Pacella, he was asked if he had ever used the machine on himself. Instead of hootin and hollerin about how his machine has miraculously cured his cancer, he said "No. I wrote the patents- I know it won't work without that targeting particle. If it did, I'd be sitting in front of that thing every day."

All yall "free-thinkers" and self-proclaimed "autodidacts" here take note. The more you act and think like this guy, the more seriously the scientific community, and us here will take you.

I'm all in favour of cranks being used as the subjects of experiments in physics. I have several entertaining suggestions for their use.
PhysOrg scientific forums are totally dedicated to science, physics, and technology.
