    I think we need new doctors that aren't in it for the money. But I do think that more testing should be done and not only on lab rats. Why not find a few volunteers with cancer and have them take this drug?

    That's what we do every time a new drug is introduced... start with the research, move to live specimens (rats or whatever) and then onto the humans. You really don't want them skipping through this process.

    They would never be able to "hide" the cure for Cancer. There's too many people with their hands in it. From high powered peeps down to peons... the secret would not be contained.

    But instead of forming opinions based off of uncorroborated puff pieces of news, especially when stereotyping a group of people based on this info, do a little more research in legit pieces of medical reading.

    I would say that it makes sense there's serious issues with this chemical, since as Incognito said, I'm pretty sure you couldn't hide a cure for cancer from the world. There's a reason it's not being used everywhere, and the posts I pulled are extremely plausible explanations as to why this isn't used everywhere.

    A notion for a "universal cure" for all types cancer is a bit silly. It's also silly to suggest that a cure for cancer has been found and is being kept quiet for money. The company that put out "the cure" would make billions. People will continue to get cancer and will continue to need treated for that cancer (even if there is a "cure") so money would continue to come in. This is just like vaccines, those companies that were selling disease treatments before the vaccine didn't hush the vaccine, you just simple switch to selling the vaccine.

    This "conspiracy" is just like the one for a cure for AIDS. It overlooks a lot of the actual difficulty in treating the ailment or the reason why it's just not practical with our technology right now to "cure" it. Viral genomics and nano-robotics do offer some hope, but that's a ways off.

    Besides all the different cancers, you have different stagings of cancer. Different stages respond to different treatments. It's not just one disease... but a kazillion.

    I think we'll do better with breast cancer in the future. It's a well advertised cancer, most people know someone who has had it, no one rallies like a woman and men are extra sensitive to it.... it's targetting their Mother's, their Daughters, their Wives and their Sisters. Most men are particularily driven where those categories are involved.

    Compare prostate cancer. No where the same drive for a cure.

    We'll never get them all. I think our future is going to be really weird medically. There's gonna be ways of curing things that aren't even a concept as of yet.
