I lost my grandfather to cancer. My mother has survived breast cancer. My cousin recently had both breasts removed and underwent heavy chemotherapy for cancer. My wife has had one of the rarest forms of cancer that occurs in the human body.
Sort of hard for me to follow this thread, but I have. I find stuff like this, that is on the net and regurgitated by well meaning (for the most part) people on places like forums and message boards, shows very little understanding and compassion for the suffering of those with cancer and those that have to deal with their loved ones that have cancer, and the possibility of losing them. It almost seems callous to offer hope, when, in some cases, there is none to be had.
It's been two and a half years since they removed the cancer from my wife and if she makes it five she is in the clear. We are under no illusions though - that if it reoccurs that she is fucked. They don't even attempt chemo on this type of cancer. So I find this shit really annoying.
There is no scientific evidence to back any of this shit up and this is one of my bug-bears of the internet. Instead of becoming the super information highway that was envisaged, it has become the most easily accessible source of misinformation known to man.
Why do that to people??
Don't know why I even posted or if it made sense. I just hate seeing this sort of stupid shit.
I wouldn't go so far as to say the scientists are in the pockets of biggie P, but they are certainly controlled by them.And before anybody replies with "but the scientists are all in the pockets of the pharma companies" etc, I can tell you that's bullshit, because, I'm married to one and she fucking hates pharma companies. All they do is try to steal academic ideas so they can develop their own versions. Most of her funding comes from charities or non-profit foundations.
Your ideas about what makes a profitable business model for big pharma ASTOUND me.The idea that big pharma companies are hiding cures from us to make money is retarded. They could destroy competition in a single day by curing something like cancer. The amount of money lost by competition on treatments would be staggering, and the amount gained on controlling it would also be staggering.
But eh, it's more fun pretending there's a fountain of youth that scary people are depriving us of.

For instance, ask yourself or you wife would happen to her funding, or even her life if she did come across a cheap & repeatable solution to eradicate all signs of cancer in a patient.
Somehow I doubt she'd get any funding from anyone, if her brake lines aren't cut.
I find this response a tad bit naive.The answer is no, that's not the case, because:
a. She'd win a nobel prize, and have no shortage of funding for anything ever again. A lot of funding over here comes from charities or governments. EU Governments have a great incentive to actually cure diseases, because of universal care.
b. Not likely - most research is done by international teams of5-6 scientists, and they're quite secretive about it until a paper is submitted to the journal. A major cancer breakthrough would go straight into Nature. Short of an entire team of 20 professors + post docs simultaneously having 'accidents' knocking one off wouldn't make much difference,
Every academic scientist I know is motivated by 2 things:
1. The thrill of discovering something new
2. Recognition by their peers.
Most aren't that motivated by personal income. The ones that are typically don't stick around in academia long enough to make any big discoveries.
@seoreborn thanks for posting that, I've watched a little and it's very interesting.
Weirdly, my wife is working on a peptide-related treatment for another disease. I used my copywriting skills to help her win the grant
I agree with the stuff in the video about the FDA - it's at the stage of clinical trials where most of these things will get stalled, because that's where pharma can flex their lobbying muscle. The level of infiltration of the regulatory agency by its industry sounds familiar - that's what happened with the Gulf of Mexico disaster. It's really disturbing, and undermines democracy.
As for doctors being dismissive of it - I can believe that. Some of them (but by no means all) are remarkably closed-minded when it comes to anything that's outside of their belief system. They're as prone to dogma as anyone else.
Your ideas about what makes a profitable business model for big pharma ASTOUND me.
I hope for your sake that you still work for someone else. You aren't going to make much money on your own.
My Business model does indeed work in mysterious ways... Luckily for me, it works, & I'm loaded. STFU.Hmm, considering your job seems to be posting on wickedfire, I say you're not in a position to question what I do for a living.
No, but sticking your head in the sand must solve a lot of things for you to think like this.That being said, continue to live in fear and pretend the man is keeping things from you. That often solves everything.
No, thank you for being an xrumer blast, ann!thanks for sharing this hiv is very dangerous
Fundamentally, peer review is not an integral part of the Scientific method. But there's a reason reputable journals don't publish without peer review.
But I mean come on, this Bob Beck guy isn't even a Scientist as far as I can see. But regardless, if he can cure fucking cancer why can't he go up to one of the countless cancer research charities and get them to look into it?
It's becuase they'll look at his site, see "magnetic healing power" and all that bullshit and no exactly what it's all about.
There is nothing more sickening than making money off cancer patients by selling them "alternative medicine" shit like this that doesn't work.
Seriously though, please show me some serious evidence that this works. And anecdotes don't count for obvious fucking reasons.
Top Five Reason this anti-viral tech is a CROCK OF SHIT:
5. People get electrocuted all the time. They would have discovered before that it cured some viral situation long, long ago.
4. Even if shoving this anal probe up your ass did kill the nearby viri in your colon, electricity doesn't flow from the probe to everywhere in your body equally... It's trying to go to ground, so at best the treatment should only be able to electrocute viri between the probe and the most grounded part of your body.
3. Have you seen the sales page of that Sota link? Granted they aren't the only ones pushing this (as far as we know) but my god are they pushing the Fear sales tactic HARD. (This coming from someone who DOES believe the world and the government are completely controlled by big pharma.)
2. If it really worked, they'd all be dead, period. This kind of real tech getting out would save millions, if not a billion lives, cutting directly into big pharma's paycheck by several Billion dollars a year... Perhaps a trillion. -Who fucks around with a trillion bucks at stake?
