Healing
Light
Photo
Dynamic Therapy, or PDT, uses photo-sensitive drugs and
a laser beam to treat disease. Last season, we showed
you how it can be used for macular degeneration. Now
it looks as if PDT may be an effective weapon against cancer.
So why is it so hard to get?
The
story of how PDT saved one man's life when he was diagnosed
with esophageal cancer. And an interview with Dr.
Bill Evans, Executive Vice President of Cancer Care Ontario,
and Dr. Brian Wilson, one of the pioneers in the research
of photo dynamic therapy.

it carries magnetic possibilities.

alcoholics but tough love may be the best prescription.
An interview with Dr. Graeme Cunningham, director of addiction

alcoholic.
