CANCER CURE FOUND BUT.... FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO

In fact, let me answer that.  For Treatment ALONE, in 2004, 72 Billion, and that does not include the loss to the economy because of loss of productivity, opportunity cost, or other varied costs. It would seem to me if the government thought there was a CURE out there, it would pay for the research regardless of what the Pharma companies wanted:

Maybe the Susan Komen Foundation can pursue this research?  Considering all the money raised and donated to that foundation maybe it should get involved.  If politics are blocking these drugs from development (money and big pharma) then IMO cancer patients and their families around the world need to demand this research be pursued.  At least do the research and PROVE whether the compound works or not and side effects and risk factors.  Cancer patients should at least have a say in how their donated money is being spent on what research IMO.

By the way, in places like Moffitt they have started a program to inventory tumors from all of their cancer patients and they are working on deciphering their genetic codes, etc.  Its my understaning that cancers are all individual diseases and that there is no one size that fits all, but that they are making great headway against many of these individual cancers.   It may well be that in a few years there will be legitimate cures to cancer at least to many types of cancer.  And since Breast Cancer is getting the majority of the funding, it may be the first to be cured.  Keep your hopes up.

Truthseeker my friend, my belief is that most cancers are caused by the environment we live in and also the food we take and also stress in our daily lives and not due to Genetics.   

Probably very true, but of course genetics plays a part in some people getting cancer, such as the Brac gene.  But when I talk about Moffitt analyzing the tumor down to the genetic level, I am talking about the makeup of the tumor itself.  Only if science finally understands what it is dealing with will it possibly be able to do something about it.  We can all hope. 

Wow. 

Graceths and Barry, my husband has been saying the exact same thing for years about a cancer cure not being lucrative for the big business, especially after I was dx'd with breast cancer.  He has had several family members with cancer, so he knows first hand that cancer is a huge money-maker-- an industry, and I'm pretty much with him in that thinking.  Look at what a marketing opportunity breast cancer has become.  Look at all the pink crap that is being sold-- heck, Ford has even built a Mustang with a pink ribbon on it-- looks like they could fund the real cure.  If there was a cure for cancer, my insurance company wouldn't be out $200,000+ and the cancer center where I go could not have added the multi-million dollar addition, in which each and every room is decorated with its own color and theme...  makes me want to puke everytime I go in there, because we're still struggling to pay off what the insurance didn't cover.  Whew, I have to get off this subject...

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Yep... The cancer industry is full of corruption, power play and cover ups due to money.

And just how is this different from the Alternative Medicine industry?  And what's jesus have to do with any of this?

It's totally about money. I used to work at a doctors office and saw for myself how we are paying up the nose for meds, thanks to the BIG PHARMA.

Did you know that it costs MILLIONS to get something FDA approved.

Tell me who can afford that but the Mafia, who is by the way the ones who are behind the Pharmaceuticals. They want you as a life time paying customer. If you're cured, they are done.

Its the same reason tires or car engines aren't made to last, the same reason cigarettes aren't illegal. MONEY!

Cancer is a BILLION dollar industry.

It's a no-brainer!

Everyone needs to do what they need to do, but if it were me who got cancer, I'd try to fight it naturally with the bob beck sota instruments the raw diet, Essiac Tea.

Like what grace said you must search for the cancer cure and you will find it.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 but did not go for Chemo.. instead went for a organic food programme ( with supervision of course) and was cured. The doctor couldn't believe it at first.

Does anybody know where the biggest profits are?  In actually finding a drug that cures cancer.  I have followed and invested in a few pharmaceutical companies trying to develope drugs that will battle particular forms of cancer.  I have seen their stock prices  go up and then fall as much as 75% in one day when the company discontinues a particular phase or comes out with bad news or safety issues or whatever.  Believe me there are drug companies battling it out among themselves who will be the first to patent a drug to cure a cancer.  Hercepton, Avistan, etc. makes the companies huge amounts of money, to which they are entitled due to their huge investments to begin with.  But these drugs don't cure, although hercepton might help delay a recurrence. 

Compare the investments of the large pharmaceuticals into drugs to the alternative medicine industry. It costs probably 5 cents to make the Hoxsey cure (whatever that is), but think of the profits if they can con the American Public into buying it?  Almost unlimited margins to be earned on their investments.  Some of you talk about the large drug companies as if they are the enemy.  In fact, they are the ones that are going to help save our lives.  If there is a cure out there, they are the ones who are going to find it . . not some uneducated dolt living on a farm who brews his own hoxsey cancer cure.  I guess i just don't understand why so many don't see this.

I got to admit, I got a huge kick out of reading about the "beck" cancer cure.  For anybody who wants a good laugh, here it is:

Lauren;

As I noted before, the general public needs much more education about medical research.  I worked in the field (raising funds for research at the largest hospital in Canada), so I do have some valid reasons for stating what I did.  There are more than 200 different types of cancer and, as we've seen on these threads, there are several different types of breast cancer.  Believe me when I tell you that medical researchers WORLDWIDE are working diligently - and working together - on finding the causes of these diseases.  Every piece of information is acted upon, and it's a huge puzzle they are trying their hardest to put together.

They are working WITH the pharma companies; it is not just the pharma companies who are involved in cancer research.  If you look at the list of Nobel prize winners over the past several years, you will see how individual scientists and their teams have provided so much of the info needed in this ongoing research.

Please do not promote the belief that pharma companies will keep these researchers from bringing more effective treatments and possibly prevention of cancer from the public.  That's just not happening, nor will it. 

You mentioned a friend who went the holistic route and her cancer was eradicated.  That's wonderful and, yes, it can happen.  I had a friend diagnosed with IBC who went through the standard treatment.  It was too far advanced and too rampant.  She went to Sweden to try an experimental therapy.  It didn't work.  She tried another therapy in Mexico.  It didn't work either, and sadly, her funeral was 2 months ago.  Luckily for her family, they had ample funds available to try these therapies.  But for many who are at Stage IV, there are people who take advantage of their desperation and make "cure" promises that can never be kept.

Respectfully,

Linda 

Lots of reasons why the alternative cure folks make no sense.  For example, they claim there is a huge conspiracy to keep people from being cured.  But the fact is if company A thought it could cure cancer and make a huge profit, it could care less about putting all of the Breast Surgeons out of business.  Company A in our society is interested only in Company A.  It is capitalism at its best motivated by the hope for great proftis that causes drug companies to invest in cures for cancer.  And if they get there, the shareholders will be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.  These companies are working towards a profit and they are working to cure cancer to get there.  Are these companies conspiring to keep a cancer cure from the masses because they want to keep all of those breast surgeons in business?  or are they conspiring to cure cancer so they can be the next Bill Gates?  I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.  And of course those toiling away in the labs of America searching for a cure for cancer probably are often doing so not only because they found the work challenging, but rewarding also.  Imagine being on a team that finally discovers a cure to breast cancer.  Think of the accollades and the feelings of accomplishment and self worth for doing so.  The alternative cure folks can claim its all about money, and maybe it is, but they are looking at things bass ackwards.

I guess my mom should have tried the Bob Beck Cure for her stage 4 ovarian cancer. maybe I would not have went to her funeral 3 weeks ago.

I will continue to use my chemo and healthy diet AND support research for a cure. If Pharmaceuticals are so evil, would insurance pay them????
