There's a cure or a cheap way to prevent it. It will come out in the next 20 years ad soon as big pharm figures out a way to make huge profits from it.

I am in the cancer diagnostics field and can tell you that there is no conspiracy. I just got back from a yearly meeting in which we discuss people we have lost to cancer. Whole days are devoted to how we are trying to make companion diagnostics to treatments for as many of these diseases as possible.

I take pride in my job knowing i am helping not only those who are afflicted with cancer, but also that I am helping those friends and family who love those patients.

I lost my mom to cancer.

Not very many, just need the patent and you have it locked up. That is typically how these things work.

By the way, there are some exciting things on the horizon in regards to detection.

Nope. The cure for cancer is in a locked box taped to Paul Ryan's taint.

This theory holds up until you realize that cancer can be had by anyone, including the supposed drug reps included in this scheme and their families.

This idea is moronic.

Gardasil came out in 2006 to help prevent HPV and future cervical cancer. Why would the "powers that be" allow it to exist?

There is absolutely a 0% chance that the leaders and lobbyists of Big Pharma want to find a cure to anything

The want the absolute most advanced treatments. But not cures

If you read any biomedical research journals you would know that there isn't a conspiracy.

That's because we didn't outlaw jet fuel before the moon landing.

I will also say that anyone thinking there is "a cure for cancer" is not educated enough to even discuss the topic.

That is unless we harness the ability to stop/start cells from growing.

These are all different diseases that happen because of different stimuli.

a physicist friend of mine is working on an energy project whose byproduct targets and kills cancerous cells. he says the technology has been available for 60 + years.

Aids maybe, not cancer. Wait....Is there a cure for aids? I don't even know. Seems to be irrelevant these days.
