Do you ever think we will find a cure for cancer?

Is it even possible to cure cancer?

I hope so. My great g-ma died a year ago today from cancer.

I'm gonna have to check that article out.

are you kidding me? why would anyone involved in the cancer industry want to find a cure...can you say cash cow? how many billions are spent on cancer in general every year? i can imagine the major pharmaceutical companies saying ...you know we really need to find a cure...that will never happen.

If a cure was found, that would be the cash cow.

You'd be a billionaire if you found a cure for cancer. You would even get a Nobel Prize.

You are so right. I feel I will never get cancer.....Self medicated.

They already have found a cure. Jus loked up somewhere is an safe. Bought out for 3billion dollars. Imagine how much money they would loose if cancer was cured.

i think like taxol or something in the rain forest breaks down tumors and cancer cells. i guess thats kinda of a cure.

my aunt is dieing from cancer as we speak....

i hope i never get cancer, but if i do i sure as hell won't have anything to do with what people call conventional medicine

who was the dr. in Houston, TX who had a cure rate of 97% on brain cancer, which is the most difficult to cure. i can't remember his name but the federal government went after him not once but twice, the last thing i remember hearing about him is that he moved his operation to Mexico. has anyone heard of this guy? he's a perfect example how cure's are treated by the powers that be who don't want cures.

For some reason I would think there would be more outrage from the public if this guy found a cure and the U.S. went after him.

The cash cow for all diseases is TREATMENT, not CURES. That's why for profit medicine is morally bankrupt.

If a pill cured a disease, any disease, you sell it once. Treatments are the goal of American (and all capitalist) medicine.

There's a cash incentive to keeping people sick, alive but sick. If you look at the research being done today, what they are predominantly doing is looking for treaments, not cures...and RARELY prevention (unless the prevetion measue is a pill a day for example).

There's just no incentive in it.

i had heard of this guy a few years ago. then i saw a story about this guy on 60 minutes or 20/20 or something like that, haven't heard a word about him since

That sickens me that people would watch people slowly suffer and die, just to make a buck. babies and lil kids die from cancer everyday. humanity in general sickens me. to love money is sad.
