Why do we not have a cure for cancer? President Nixon declared war on it back in the 1970s. Why has cancer gone from the number 6-7 killer in the 1970s to the number 2 killer of Americans. My observation is that we are spending our money on the wrong thing. We spend billions on cancer and get results that appear to go backwards as far as getting to a cure of cancer. What if there are things that can keep us from getting cancer to begin with. Is cancer our modern day scurvy or beriberi, where there is something missing from our nutrition. Is cancer a disease or simply a symtom. I believe it is just a symtom of a poor immune system, that is, poorly manufactured human cells. What if we spent billions of dollars on having our bodies build better cells? Will there ever be a cancer cure come from a drug company? Lets think, what is the main purpose of a drug company...making money, right. Ok, if I want to make money do I create drugs to treat symtoms or do I create a cure? Which will make me the most money? I believe the answer is obvious on this. I believe a review of the last 30 years on what drug companies have been selling us will give you the answers. Why is that the basic treatment for cancer is the basic three things, just like in the 1970s, cut it out, burn it out, or poison it. How must money is made from these 3 treatments each year? What if we are looking in the wrong place to get rid of cancer? What of this latest "Cancer cure" news? Is it treating a symtom or is it a cure? If it looks like a symtom treatment and it smells like a symtom treatment, then it is one. Who might be funding this research? I don't know, but I bet I have a good guess. Cancer is an enemy we all are facing. I hope my comments and opinions open some doors for who ever reads them. For cancer to be done away with just like scurvy and beriberi new doors will need to be opened. TGBTG....
