This is a {*filter*} disease which is probably due to a proliferation of the clonal
stem cells.  The one most dramatic cancer cure I have ever read was in
Scientific American in 1989.  A man was cured of Leukemia through the use of
Psoralen(sp) and UV exposure.  Since it is known what cells are out of sinc how
about duplicating them, doping exposing and putting back in the body.  In this
Leukemia case there was a "vaccination" effect.  This illness is curable in
many of the forms with a causal illness.  I just think the seriousness of the
illness warrants experimental methods.  If you can stop the proliferating cells
it will stop the illness.  Cathy.

Cathy: Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (also called idiopathic
myelofibrosis) is not "curable." Those cases which have disappeared are
probably cases of secondary myelofibrosis due to another disease, such as
Hodgkin's disease.
