If these families had access to "secret cures", why would so many of them have died from such amazingly common issues? And why would the two above have tried (and failed) conventional therapies available to everyone?
Why can't you guys just relax, let the clinical trials come to completion, and THEN decide if this is a cure or not?

Honestly, I can understand if this alleged cure is being kept quiet for the good of the population. Life necessitates death, but with all the advances in modern medicine, death is being held at bay for longer and longer. Hence overpopulation, and all the troubles associated with it.

Cancer kills nearly 547,500 Americans in a single year; that number is rising.
40 yrs x 547,500 = 21,900,000
This would be such a glut on the American economy. Now take that Global and the World couldn't survive.
40 yrs x 7,600,000 (est. Global cancer deaths per year) = 304,000,000 (Another America)
These numbers of course don't reflect the fact that these people would have had kids, grand-kids etc. Billion or more? Just a guess of course but it's easy to see a World population problem even more so than today.
Food, water, land, medicare etc. There would be nothing left for the Elite.

If there is a cure, why do politicians seem to develop cancer at about the same rate as the general population? Why do the wealthy actually have HIGHER rates of cancer incidence (and thus cancer death) when it comes to certain cancers?
Don't you think the wealthy and politically connected would be the first to benefit if there were a cure?

The point is this:
The billions of dollars that would be lost to big pharm companies that make so-called cancer drugs and companies that manufacture radiation machines and other cancer treatment equipment would go out of business. The dollars that they make from cancer treatment medications and equipment is astronomical. And the people who die from cancer are merely collateral damage--necessary in order to keep the incomes they've become used to coming.... and coming... and coming...edit on 11-6-2011 by jupiter869 because: (no reason given)
