[html]After seeing the link pop up a little bit today, I wanted to share it with you guys and see what discussion happens.<div><br></div><div><a href="" http://hubpages.com/hub/Scientists_cure_cancer__but_no_one_takes_notice">http://hubpages.com/hub/Scientists_cure_cancer__but_no_one_takes_notice</a></div><div><br></div><div>Do n"'t worry. The article is 4 years old. Here's one from this week.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="" http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100512/full/news.2010.236.html">http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100512/full/news.2010.236.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Now ," it does seem we are finding a good venue to start researching forward in for on this, but as we can see from the follow-up, the lack of patent and FDA (quite correctly) stopping people from self-medicating may end up putting a slowdown on this. I was surprised to find that after 15 minutes of Google I could not find out if any other countries were stepping in to do their own research. This all sounds too&nbsp;convenient as an anti-capitalism&nbsp;message with no realistic venue of say... private investment and other countries taking and furthering the research. So--- I'm wondering what the hell is going on?</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone have a clue?</div>[/html]

Yes surely its shared and known without the populace, Thats why no medical company is sponsoring this and we're just talking about it on a forum for a blue hedgehog.

That's interesting. I'd never heard about this (or don't remember hearing about it anyway).

This is a time I actually wished I learned more about biochemistry because you do have a point. Unless there is something scientifically "wrong," this does seem to scream "we rather people get sick and/or die as long as we get some money out of it instead of helping people and not making money" on the surface.

Actually, I'd say it's pretty obvious just from thinking about it that businesspeople care more about money than about alleviating the suffering of others. If they cared more about the latter, then competitors of theirs who cared more about the former would be spending less on charity and more on things like marketing, hence drowning out the more charitable ones through competition.

That still doesn't tell us whether or not whichever industry would actually be guilty of suppressing whichever cure, though. I often see this kind of rhetoric in the context of many medical issues on which I don't know who to believe.

"People only say milk is good for you because the dairy industry cares more about money than about people's health!"

"Obviously, but do their motives automatically make everything they say a lie?"

"No, but it suggests the system would have been influenced by corrupt businesspeople!"

"Of course, but does that mean the influence of diary is more misleading than whatever other vested interests might have their own incentives in conflict with dairy?"

Etc... basically, society is such a mess of lies these days that it's hard to tell who just so happens to be saying something that's true. -.-

This is all hard to believe.. This is hope incarnate yet its being kept in the dark?

There is always conflicting information. The information that makes the most money is the most common information.

As always, my post remains the hidden gem. Like the cure for cancer.

Is this that cure for cancer that is being bandied about as not being funded, that upon closer inspection is actually not very good?

You know the one that in clinical testing has to be injected directly (difficult) to have any effect, or takes a long time in tablet form to show any assistance with slight regression at all?

Cause that's what this topic looks like.
