The present invention comprises a method for the treatment of cancerous tumors in mammals comprising the administration of an effective amount of an immunostimulator which enhances and potentiates the mammals own immune system to selectively attack and kill the cancerous cells. In a preferred embodiment, the process comprises reacting silicon metal with an alcohol in a suitable solvent in the presence of a cupric bis catalyst. A vacuum and filter system is further provided to capture and filter potentially harmful aerosols that may be emitted during operation of the device. The configurable communication IC andor chipset may configure andor reconfigure itself one or more times over a period of time while deployed in the field.
