re: Israeli Scientist Has Found Cure for Cancer?

This is coming from someone who works on cancer for a living...this guys are full of shite. Outside of the ridiculous quotes in the article, the science is full of holes. Don't waste your time

I had a buddy that worked at a monkey lab in Missouri. Told me they tested drugs that cured aids several times, but they never saw market. Ifsofacto. pharmaceutical companies are in the business of making money. Not curing disease.

Daily Wire my go to medical journal. If it’s in the Daily Wire it has to be true.

HIV has about 1000 base pairs. It's polymerase is so wildly inaccurate, in 1 day, every single possible mutation that could occur will. In that same day, about half of the possible double-recombinants (two mutations at any given two sites) will occur.
HIV drugs don't work because these "mutants" eventually produce a binding protein that the drug does not bind to and is also viable which eventually takes over.

That is the problem with HIV. That and that the general person who has it (talking worldwide here) is not usually reliable enough to take medication consistently (often through no fault of their own). In the US, the average person with it is far better off than a rural African without access to refrigeration or an IV drug user in Russia.
A motivated individual with access to healthcare in the US could do very well with the disease and essentially never progress from HIV to AIDS. Many are like this. Unfortunately, many more do not care enough about their own health to take medicine that is literally given to them for free, including in combination pill form to make it as easy as possible.

That is why HIV is a problem. Not some hidden cure.

Gleevec.


What's gleevec? It's a "Big Pharma" produced monoclonal antibody that literally cures chronic myelogenous leukemia caused by (I think) the 9:22 translocation of a specific tyrosine kinase (BCR-ABL Gene?, maybe...check me on it...but the "Philadelphia chromosome)

It cost a lot. Something like $25K a year, but in checking myself, 2017 pricing puts it at around $100K/year



Pharmaceuticals don't mind charging for good medicine.
Most people don't understand what cancer is or how it works.

So you're saying pharmaceutical companies do not have a huge financial incentive to keep selling cancer meds?

Sure they do. Particularly ones that work.


Are you suggesting that all cancers could even possibly have a single cure because we've skipped right past the discovery of all cancers sharing even one common genomic factor (probably worth at least a Nobel Prize to find the idea to be true and another if anyone can build the crystal structure of it...and I'm not joking, that would probably win two Nobel Prizes) and gone straight to the magic bullet without a peep in a scientific journal?

I assume this company you're talking about hates money? Because they'd have to hate money to make such stupid decisions.

I just hope his friend isn't one of the researches. Because if he is, then the company hires retarded researchers.

Big Pharm is going to have this doc killed

My neighbor runs a fairly large pharmaceutical from his tub . Imma ask him his thoughts on this .
