[Discussion] Cancer has been cured? [Conspiracy Theory]

[EnDash]

i think it's just conspiracy, maybe i'm blind but it seems to far fetched to me. money to hospitals and doctors doesn't come from only treating patients and money for pharmaceutical companies doesn't only come from selling drugs. beside investors that pay a bunch of money the govermant does it's share of the paying (and that comes from tax money, so us). before the healthcare in the US citizens either had a pricey healthcare program from a private company that paid for all the stuff, or no program and if they got sick and needed an expensive treatement was in a bad situation.

what i'm saying is that being sick is very costly for a lot of groups. espacilly if it is an incurable disease. one day of admittance to the hospital can cost hundreds of dollars and someone is going to pay for that. if pharmaceutical companies want to keep secret a cure for cancer then the govermant and hospitals and doctors would like the opposite, from economical perspective if not humane.

Well the good doctors eradicated pox, pushed polio to the brink of extinction, none remembers whooping cough, dieing from malaria at any slightly civilized place is nearly laughable concept etc etc etc so I guess some good doctor will eventually cure cancer if its curable .....

Also as for a fact certain food materials are known to push back cancer ... indefinitely if lucky .... so there may be in fact a workaround for cancer that do not leave u bankrupt.

No, not really :|

Ageing is the truly incurable threat, and it isnt even a disease.

Incorrect. The mechanics behind aging are much easier to discern and combat (via the recurring telomere functions and replications) than Cancer. There is even a man who is attempting to extend the human life span TEN FOLD. His name is Aubrey De Grey and he runs

organization.

OT: It is. Not even a conspiracy. Beyond everything, with all the combined funds from various charity organizations and "events" it is pathetic if they didn't. Where I live, there is a hospital that has a yearly prize draw but the ticket are expensive, yet continually sold out each year. The amount they have accumulated through this quite easily supersedes hundreds of millions of dollars.

And then there's is...

An active hormone that is quite easily accessed by us, combats cancer by reverting its function (which is to make other cells lose their functions and pile up to create sists and tumors) and instead of destroying our pre-existing cells, it makes the cancer cells attack themselves, and ultimately collapse on itself.

And, the only attribution as to why it hasn't become a wide scale is because of corporate greed. Pharmaceutical companies have varying patents that restrict many things so they can increase profit. Think of medical marijuana. Only pharmacies have patents on them. If Marijuana was de-criminalized at worst, the pharmacies would ultimately lose profit, as the marijuana could simply be bought at a local convenience store if necessary. There wouldn't be any more profit on traditional and conventional chemotherapy if the disease was ultimately eradicated.

Or because they're afraid of what happened in I Am Legend. Thinks about it...!

OT: There are probably multiple different "cures" to cancer. I recall reading an article and then watching a TED video on a man who found a way to halt the formation and spread of cancer cells and then slowly reverse the process with a device that is strapted to the head or any part suffering from the disease.

It worked on a man who participated in the french bicicyle race... Not anyone of note worthiness here I am sure. That, and I never learned the name... But yeah. We probably have a few different answers to this. I'd rather believe the governments and scientists behind this work are just making sure that it cures cancer and has no other side effects before releasing it to the public.

But as Matty-boy above has stated, it could be some scheme or a dreaded result of companies being too large to fail that would fail if this was released. Or, face a considerable lose in profit.

Curing cancer isn't as easy as we'd like to think it is.

Also, the bigger question is not curing, but preventing.

preventing is much easier then curing, it's an awareness problem and we know the solution to it (mass publicize preventing cancer, which we do all the time). the problem with that is that people either don't care or have bad luck and get it anyway.

Cancer is just a disease that keeps coming back. Even after it has been cured there are high possibilities of the carcinogenic cells to make their return and cause cancer again..

Maybe, cool theory you and your friends thought about

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Surely they could sell the cure for far more money than they get by hiding it. Sorry, but "Conspirasys" like this one are solved by simple logic.

What about the huge profits of cancer patients that get treated with chemotherapy? Gatter some knowledge before you make conclusions. The bigger picture is that big pharmacy, poisonous foods and double edged treating is a tool to make the people more and more dependent on the state.

What an interesting observation.

Surely if some doctors found out, not all of them would be total *******s.

Anyway, if you want me to gather knowledge, don't start your theory's with "What If"
