Just to add to the discussion on DC vaccines.
Jeannine Walston received a DC vaccine in Cologne long before she accessed DCVax-L. Don't think she was impressed...

Jeannine as we know, went on to receive DCVax-L in 2014.
And I believe she is still doing well.

Several of these German clinics use some variation on a theme. Most use an oncolytic virus (usually Newcastle disease avian virus) as some sort of primer, with DC's cultured from PBMC's and some claim to be able to pick up antigens from an ordinary blood draw.

They seem to offer treatment even without tumor tissue available.
Though some may employ tumor tissue, but it is unclear how.
I think it is Dr Nesselhut at IOZK who has a fairly OK reputation.

But they all seem to lack the secret sauce.

I really don't know how the German clinics are licensed, but apparently they comply with GMP regulations.

It's why I don't worry if NWBO's patents aren't totally watertight, and it's true you can't claim exclusivity over using DC's, of course. But nobody has tried to accurately recreate or mimic L's process. Or if they have, they haven't achieved it. Extremely difficult I would say.
