Happy #MediaMonday! It’s time for us to highlight 3 more publications that are a part of NNPA/Black Press of America! Im kicking it off with a publication that has been the voice of Detroit for over 80 years, the Michigan Chronicle! The headline that caught my eye was: Karmanos Cancer Institute First to Prescribe FDA-Approved Device for Advanced Liver Cancer.
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Michigan’s largest cancer care and research provider, has become the first institution globally to prescribe the newly FDA-approved TheraBionic P1 device for at-home treatment of advanced liver cancer. This cutting-edge technology, now available through Karmanos Cancer Center, offers a groundbreaking approach to care as part of its partnership with McLaren Health Care.
The TheraBionic P1 is an innovative, portable handheld device that generates low levels of 27.12 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. These fields are amplitude-modulated at frequencies specific to tumors. During treatment, a spoon-shaped antenna is placed on the patient’s tongue, and the therapy consists of three one-hour sessions each day. The device delivers low levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields throughout the patient’s body, effectively blocking the growth of tumor cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed.

Lawmakers Urge President Biden To Finalize Equal Rights Amendment Before Transition. As President Joe Biden’s tenure ends, a coalition of more than 100 House Democrats has urged the administration to ratify and publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th amendment to the United States Constitution. The lawmakers claim that Biden’s actions will advance gender equality and defend constitutional rights, particularly as the country prepares for a new government that is openly hostile to reproductive freedom and LGBTQIA+ rights.
In a letter led by Representatives Cori Bush, Ayanna Pressley, and Jennifer McClellan, the lawmakers urged Biden to direct the Archivist of the United States to certify the ERA. “Solidifying your legacy on equal rights with a final action on the ERA would be a defining moment for the historic Biden-Harris administration and your presidency,” the letter stated.
