DIVINE INTERVENTIONS: Killing Cancer Without Chemo
Manage episode 447368874 series 3389611
Dr. William Ranahan, professor of Biology at Oral Roberts University, shares his journey from aspiring military academy student to groundbreaking cancer researcher. Initially planning a career in the military, he sensed God redirecting him to pursue a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Despite early academic struggles, Dr. Ranahan excelled in his research, leading to significant achievements and awards. However, again feeling the prompting of the Holy Spirit, he left a promising research career to return to ORU and teach at his alma mater. Shortly after arriving there, Dr. Ranahan received an idea he calls a "God thing" to use mushrooms in cancer research, leading to the discovery of compounds that selectively kill cancer cells. This innovative work, supported by unexpected funding, has resulted in a patent and potential new cancer treatments.
Dr. Ranahan emphasizes the importance of obedience to divine guidance in his professional and personal life.
