“Sam, you have to look at this!”
Alisha couldn’t hide her excitement the next morning. She quickly returned to peering into the microscope. “You must see this right now. I’ve never seen anything like this before. And I don’t think anyone has.”
Samuel rushed to her station and leaned over her microscope.
“Well, hello there!” Samuel exclaimed. “Where did you come from?”
“See the color difference? There’s blue.” Alisha impatiently pushed Samuel away from the microscope. “What do you think?”
“I don’t know, but this is something new.” Samuel looked over the notes.
“These dishes were under stronger EMF and the same amount of seawater.”
“Did you see similar phenomenon with the other dishes?”
“Nope. I didn’t see anything like this. My dishes are showing the orange discoloration which is consistent with previous results. This is good news. We can reproduce the same results.”
“So we have the usual interplay between potassium and calcium which is induced by EMF.” Samuel returned to the notes.
“This we’ve already known for many years.” Alisha made some scribbles in her notebook. “This is not something new.”
“Right, and we also know all the proclaimed effects of EMF on biological cells, the increase chances for cancer, fertility issues, metabolism, and so on, and so on.” Samuel continued monotonically.
“Yeah, some of that is from cell phone studies. Like we will ever stop using our cell phones.”
“Yes, but we have to remember that this is a field that is worth billions of dollars, as Stan said.” Samuel gave her a meaningful look. “We should be very cautious about presenting any medical evidence that hurt this field.”
“And like every multi-billion market, even if there are serious medical effects, they will be hushed. Money talks.” She completed his thought.
“Given the world’s economy and the ubiquity of cell phones, it doesn’t matter what damage this EMF does. The world goes on.” “And we continue to develop cell technology without considering the EMF effects.”
“Exactly so, I’m afraid. I told you that we are a good team.” Sam was amused, though only a bit.
She turned away from her microscope. “So, what do we do? Do we want to change the world? No one will ever let us. We may be able to publish few good papers and get some colleagues recognition, but that’s about it.”
Samuel was in deep thoughts. “Obviously, we will not be able to cause any conceptual change in the world’s approach to EMF, but we may discover other useful things.” He scratched his head. “For example, we may find a way to intervene with the growth of cancer cells. Maybe if we break the discoloration code in here, we may step upon some way to stop the vicious process.”
“Well, it’s a possibility. What else?” Alisha was intrigued.
“And there is of course the possibility of finding what actually is causing the damage to the DNA. If we can somehow put our hands on this factor, we can make something that no one has made before – a vaccine against cancer.”
“Imagine that. . . .” She looked through the window. It was sunset and the skies were colored orange and yellow with hints of red. “A vaccine for cancer. It sounds even better than a cure. Imagine how many lives we will be able to save.
“Just think about how over-populated our planet will be.” He wryly countered. “There are always pros and cons to every discovery.”
“As for example our cell phones.”
“And our microwaves.”
“Virtually any electrical device that generates EMF – and we have plenty.” Samuel stood up and went to the central area to make a cup of coffee.
“A pick-me-up?”
“Yes, please.”
He prepared two cups and brought them back to his office.
“But then again, we are living in a modern world. In a modern world there is technology that you can’t live without and this include vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, air conditioners, and microwave ovens. All are immense EMF generators.”
He turned towards the window and they both were taken in by the orange skies.
“I love the sunset.” She murmured. Samuel simply nodded.
“So what do you think? We may find a cure for cancer?” She looked into his eyes. He sunk into her deep blue eyes and couldn’t say a word.

About the Book
While sailing, Dr. Sam Daniels accidentally exposes cancer cells to seawater. The resulting chemical reaction leads to a startling discovery: cancer cells have greater intelligence than anyone could have imagined, including the ability to communicate with other cancer colonies, utilizing a highly complex code based on bio-chemical processes.
Sam builds an impromptu research team, which includes a Russian computer whiz and an engineer at the helm of inventing the world’s most powerful microscope. Their efforts to crack the cancer code take them well outside the realm of mainstream medical science, crossing the line into science fiction and fantasy.
The team travels to a surreal cave in upstate New York, the seas of Southeast Asia, and the skies of the Nevada desert. Sam’s only hope: that his wild hypothesis, plus a little luck, will lead to the most important medical breakthrough of the modern age. Is it possible for him to actually communicate with cancer cells, and in so doing, rid the Earth of this ominous disease for good?
