My (mainstream) primary-care doctor agreed Thermography is the best method for detecting the type of cancer I had (breast cancer) ... and a few other types of cancers as well. I wasn't doubting my primary-care doctor or the Oncologist about the Thermograhy's effectiveness, but nevertheless I still researched this and I happened to believe it.
Less than 50% of breast cancers detected by mammography screening have an abnormal thermogram (Martin 1983).

Cancer research is highly regulated and the gatekeepers are gonna keep it that way. I trust this guy way more than a shill like you.
Dr. James Watson on Cancer Research...
In your linked article, Watson said:
"We're terribly held back on clinical tests by regulations which say that no one should die unnecessarily during trials; but they are going to die anyway unless we do something radical. I think the ethics committees are out of control and that it should be put back in the hands of the doctors. There is an extraordinary amount of red tape which is slowing us down. We could go five times faster without these committees."
...which I read as, "Cancer patients are going to die anyway, so why are we bothering to be safe and careful with them when we could have unrestricted access to them as guinea pigs?"
You said you trust this guy. Do you share his lack of respect for patients' safety?

LOL... Let me see your credentials?
I've lost two family members to cancer in the past eight weeks, a third in the past six months, and am following the remissions of four others. I daresay I've seen the inside of more cancer wards in this past year than you.

It's obvious you have no scientific background or else you wouldn't mock great minds such as Dr. Watson or Linus Pauling. Even a systematic shill like VneZonyDostupa wouldn't dare to say anything bad about them...
Originally posted by blackrain17Anyway, do not put words in Dr. Watson's mouth.
Chemotherapy and radiation isn't a cure, when are people gonna realize this? Even you said it yourself, you've lost several loved ones within this year. If there is a cure that actually worked, they would be alive today.

That has always seemed very obvious to me.
Thinking any corporation cares about you is a mental illness.

Actually, I studied science at university. I've learned from the mouths of scientists and socialised with scientists. Which is how I learned that a degree and a reputation are no guarantee of infallibility.
Actually, I quoted him, then gave a close paraphrase. Do go reread what he actually said.
It didn't work for them. It has worked for the others - the remissions I mentioned. - I'm tired of your black-and-white, baby-with-the-bathwater statements. I'm sorry for you that your girlfriend ran into complications from conventional cancer therapy. It doesn't happen that way all the time.

A question for anyone who would like to take a stab --
Regarding cancer research/cures ... does anyone else (beside myself) think it's a bit odd that $78 Billion and 30-something years later, we still don't have a cure?
Psssst ($78 billion is not a typo -- seventy-eight billion dollars)
You know that Watson is an incredibly racist, sexist old coot
