re: Cancer breakthroughs

I had a close family member diagnosed with a form of blood cancer, unfortunately not leukemia or lymphoma which is kinda sorta treatable. the only "treatment" was increasingly frequent RBC infusions and later platelet infusions. there is no "cure", just treating the symptoms. maybe all the various extremely high dollar drugs were life extending? who knows.

I don’t even know if this is a medical fact but personally I’m a big believer that stress and anxiety have alot to do with cancer. Your body isn’t meant to be in constant fight or flight mode. I try to eliminate as much stress as possible from my life and live it to the fullest along with being physically healthy. The mental health part dosent get talked about enough

Look at the funding numbers by cancer type. Breast cancer research is more than twice what testicular research funding is. Breast cancer research funding sucks plenty of money out of other potential targets. Call it big advertising directing cash.

I was diagnosed with kidney cancer four years ago(March ‘21). I had just started to make life changes six weeks prior to getting healthier. That diagnosis really kicked my butt into gear. Getting ready to undergo CT scans in a few weeks to check for any reoccurrence.

Same here with my diagnosis in Dec '22. Good luck to you.

One interesting thing is at my last follow-up, there were a couple new treatments available. Was great to hear, since kidney cancer is so deadly if it spreads. So things are progressing at least.

A lot of chronic cancers aren’t curable, but can be controlled through various treatments.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer while testicular cancer is much rarer so it makes sense that there’s a lot more funding for it.

How far are we away from making cancer less of a big deal?

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer March 2024. We have researched tons published articles, read books, and listened podcasts. And to be clear these were not from "aunt deb" or "my friends, friends mom", these are all backed with at least some data and cited sources that we followed-up on. Some combo of Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, DMSO, & Immune Mushroom blends are cited in nearly everything we have looked into as

In some cases, most severe, chemo/radiation may be best option. But subsequently those with the most severe cases or elderly patients are the most likely to be absolutely beaten down & drained, if not killed by the treatment. It's a catch 22.

BIGGEST CHANGES we have continually come across in our research is what are we absorbing into our bodies from food, drinks, soaps, shampoo, lotion, deodorant and on. Almost everything you buy off the shelf in a grocery store has tons of ingredients in them that are there only to enhance the color & smell of the product or is a cheap fillers & preservatives, none of which are made for human consumption.

Plastics & Aluminum are 2 big ones, especially as heated in microwaves & ovens.
Plastics begin leeching into foods even at room temp of 77ºF
Foil sheets & trays begin leeching as early as 200ºF. Each amount varies with heat & duration, as well as what food/drink contents are. Foods with citric acids will cause more leeching even at lower temps.
Aluminum is found in the brain of every Alzheimer & Dimentia case. Deodorants that say "antiperspirants" contain aluminum.

Seriously look at the ingredients of everything in your shopping cart next time you are at the store and google the ingredients. We have changed out our Deodorant, Toothpaste, Body Soap, Hand Soap, Lotion, Shave Cream, Shampoo, Conditioner, Dish Soap, Laundry Detergent, Fabric Softener, Eye Drops, Candles, Plug-In Air Fresheners

Setting aside the impossibility of this, what would be the motivation?

The "cure" for cancer is not going to be some magic bullet. It will be expensive procedures as there are now.

And much of current cancer treatments have nothing to do with "big pharma"

Bill Gates' mother died of cancer. Steve Jobs died of cancer. You think people that rich and powerful would sit around and let "big pharma" hide the cure to cancer?

I love a good conspiracy theory, but this one makes no sense.

Just my gut intuition, I have no known studies to cite...but I dont think there will ever be a failsafe, easy cure for most cancer. With the obvious exception of rare juvenile cancer, most cancer seems to be a long, long process of exposing your body to things that it doesnt have very natural ways of processing and excreting. There will probably never be some magical remedy.

It seems that lifestyle changes are the remedy. There was a point in human history where cancer wasnt a common thing. The remedy seems to have the closest lifestyles to those people(in terms of exposure) as you possibly can. Obviously there is no way to actually do this completely but getting as close as you can is probably a good bet
