I watched this program last night. A cure for cancer is within reach.



Can this topic unify USMB members? Can we have a thread with no negative posts when the topic is as positive as this one?

My thing is this, if all these discoveries (from last year btw) are real, why aren't we using them?

As expressed in the sci-fi movie "Johnny Mnemonic" "It's far more profitable to treat disease than is it to cure it." In the movie, an outright cure to the plague of the time was available, but the pharmaceutical company kept it hidden.

I can't help but imagine the same thing going on in the real world. Why let a cure for cancer get out if it's gonna rob you of billions in treatment costs?

Curing cancer and other things is good. But preventing them is better. Numerous supplements are on vitamin shelves right now shown to prevent cancers.

Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea, Coconut Oil, Bee Pollen, Lycopene (prostate cancer,) and others as well as good old fashioned Aspirin have properties shown to prevent various cancers.

"By looking at data from individual participants in these trials, the researchers, led by Peter Rothwell, MD, PhD, FRCP, of the University of Oxford, showed that this risk reduction was due mainly to fewer cancer deaths among participants who took aspirin for at least 5 years. The largest drop in risk was for gastrointestinal cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. The study also showed more modest risk reductions for several other common cancers, including lung and prostate."
