    When the mass of humanity look past the glossy PhD’s and think for themselves, and research for themselves, they are the stewards of their own bodies and destinies. ~The internet is a wonderful place where the marketplace of ideas is relatively unmainipulated, it in combination to your critical thinking skills is where your answer lies.
    Which is probably why you are consulting it with such a question…

    Bravo for taking the first step towards a broader world.

    I would warn you, the "TOP Contributor" lo_mcg has presented you with a variety of canned responses that I’ve seen in other similar Cancer questions. With that, I would like to take the time to respond to some of her critisms of "conspiracy" theorists.

    "The problem with finding ‘a cure for cancer’ is that cancer is not a single disease" ~Cancer are cells which don’t undergo apoptosis(cell death). She is differentiating them by the location they happen to be in, falicous because all cancer is similar in the respect that they are anaerobes, unapoptoisic, and utilizing an older form of cell respiration, fermentation.

    ‘The conspiracy theory is an urban myth, a sort of game played by those who have not had cancer or close experience of it." ~I’ve had it. Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. It is important to note her glaring generalization of the people seeking truth. Conspiracies are crafted daily, throughout history, it is a fact of reality that conspiracies exist. So any truth must be pursued, not spoonfed, lest we be decieved.

    "Any drug company discovering a cure would make far more money than they can have dreamed of making up till now." ~Unless it’s a cheap, common cure. People didn’t used to get cancer as common as today. I had cancer at 15.

    "And doctors, scientists, researchers etc would be watching their relatives die and dying themselves" ~Which would be a case of "the blind leading the blind" what I would look at is how the charge of "conspiracy theorist" is hindering humanity’s progression.

    "And in order to prove that any secret, hidden cure worked, thousands of people would have to have been cured by it. They’d all be keeping quiet too – not a word to the media from any of them either." Rick Simpson’s video "Run From the cure" is one attempt to spread the information that THC cures cancer.

    "One blabbermouth, one disgruntled researcher or sacked nurse and the whole conspiracy’s blown" ~In reality, the blabbermouths are marginalized as cooks, thus not given funding rendering his PhD ineffectual. Thus, the conspiracy is perpetuated because of the majority’s trusting nature in institutions.

    "If there were an existing cure for cancer that would save them this money, believe me that’s what we’d be getting." ~When was the last time that government cared about their budget. They just counterfeit our money to pay for the bills (inflation). This saps the worth of the dollar in your hand. This is their hidden taxation scheme and also why there is a push for government healthcare. Government wants everyone dependent on big brother in order to instil totalitarian population control, legitimately.

    So, friend, I’ve spent a few minutes rebutting yet another mouthpiece for the controlled "consensus". The charge of conspiracy theorist serves to perpetuate that "consensus". With that in mind, let me give you some direction to seek out your own truth.

    Lewis Habben’s <—thats me) – Contextual Cancer Curing Ideas:

    Rick Simpson’s "Run from the Cure" – he has 140+ people (with sworn affidavids) he has cured in Nova Scotia with Marijuana oil (Hemp) The Hemp plant is one of the only plants abundant in the cannibinoid, THC. Manuel Guzman has demonstrated to cure brain tumors in labrats, due to THC.

    "Iodine: The most misunderstood nutrient" by Dr. Brownstein lays the best case to why our instince of cancer is so high, compared to the Japanese who consume iodine-rich seafood.

    Dr. Otto Warburg, recieved a nobel prize for saying that, "Need For Cellular Adaption Causes Cancer", albeit, this claim was made in 1931, it is worthy of consideration. Therefore, forcing your body to burn lactic acid (similar to athletic training) is a possible option to starve cancer of glucose. Sauerkraut and other fermented foods are rich in lactic acid, as the bacterium Lactobacillus produces it in cellular processes.
    ————
    I must confess, that at 15 I had cancer, I underwent chemo and radiation to my face. I’m cured but, now I have hypothyroidism and chronic dry mouth. What I don’t understand, and serves my suspicous nature is that the FDA rarely studies possible cheap natural remedies. I mean, what do we pay them for? I hope you appreciate the time I put into this answer. Needless to say, I’m quite passionate about it.

    =/ hmmmm Maybe in 2011 that year because The more money the people donate the more closer they will get to the cure for cancer.

    There is a cure for cancer, but the gov wont release it because they are making so much money off of cancer patients. Sad, but true, this is America.

    I lost several family members because of that.

    I get soooo tired of this. There are many many forms of cancer, no one cure is possible for all the varieties of cancer out there. Some forms of cancer are already curable. Some not so much.
    Now, if you are perhaps referring to a PREVENTIVE for all cancers….that has a slim chance of success, but only if and when they can prove that all cancers are caused by one root cause, they haven’t done that yet.

  6. Little Leny on January 23, 2010 12:36 pm

    There is. Stem cell transplants. I got one and I’m still around and cancer free. Wasn’t easy but it worked and I’m cured.

    There’ll never be a Eureka! moment when a single substance or procedure is discovered that will reverse all types of cancer.

    The problem with finding ‘a cure for cancer’ is that cancer is not a single disease, it’s an umbrella term for over 200 different diseases. The difficulty with finding a cure is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them They all respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them, so there isn’t a magic bullet that cures all cancers and there never will be.

    But while there’s no guaranteed cure for any cancer, some cancers can be and are be cured. 7 out of 10 children are cured of cancer. Testicular cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, and many cases of leukaemia can all be cured in adults with chemotherapy, most skin cancers are cured with surgery, and many cases of thyroid cancer and cancer of the larynx are cured with radiotherapy

    Many other types of cancer are also cured if they are found early enough. There is still a long way to go, especially with some of the commonest types of cancer such as lung, breast, bowel and prostate cancer. But there is dedicated (and underfunded) work going on; and while there’ll never be that Eureka! moment, there will continue to be steady progress – a new treatment for one type of cancer discovered, perhaps a way to reverse or slow down another type.

    You already have one conspiracy theorist answering; you’ll probably get more.

    There is no hidden cancer cure, no conspiracy to hide a cancer cure from us for profit reasons. The conspiracy theory is an urban myth, a sort of game played by those who have not had cancer or close experience of it.

    If there were such a conspiracy drug companies would be keeping quiet about the cure even though it would bring them fame and fortune. Any drug company discovering a cure would make far more money than they can have dreamed of making up till now.

    And doctors, scientists, researchers etc would be watching their relatives die and dying themselves (they and their families develop cancer at the same rate as the rest of the population) rather than revealing the existing secret cure

    And in order to prove that any secret, hidden cure worked, thousands of people would have to have been cured by it. They’d all be keeping quiet too – not a word to the media from any of them either.

    Most unlikely of all, every medical professional in the whole world would have agreed to keep existence of a cure secret. Every single one. One blabbermouth, one disgruntled researcher or sacked nurse and the whole conspiracy’s blown. Newspapers and other media wouldn’t have got a sniff of it.

    ‘This is America’ Hayley? I live in the UK; we don’t pay for our medical treatment, including cancer treatment. Cancer treatment costs our government many, many billions. If there were an existing cure for cancer that would save them this money, believe me that’s what we’d be getting.

    We have the same treatments as in the US. Why? Because although existing treatments aren’t perfect – very far from it – they are all we have at the moment, and we know, because they have been tested and proven in double-blind clinical trials, that they save many lives and prolong many, many more.

    What do you think there have been more of?

    Snow falling on the ground or prayers for our loved ones through the ages asking God to spare their loved ones and cure them of cancer?

    When God answers all of the prayers that he hears about curing cancer will then a cure be found.

    I have a feeling it will be within the next 100 years.
