Some incredible stuff I just read on some cancer research

Essentially, they think that stem cells cause cancer. Well at least they can cause cancer.

What is amazing about that is if we understand what triggers the mutated genes in the stem cells to turn in to cancer, we know enough about genetics to be able to understand how to turn them off or even convert them back in to healthy cells.

The idea of that has many other implications but the stride in research that it represents is like landing on the moon.

I'm excited to see where it leads.

First off, I feel like we get a lot of these "oh my God!" moments in cancer research but then we never hear anything else about them. It would be nice to hear followups on these kinds of stories so even if they don't pan out we can know why rather than kind of being disillusioned by the number of stories that don't pan out.


And two, on a kind of morbid note... I'm always curious what kind of effect on world population we would have if we cured any of the huge diseases. Cancer kills MILLIONS of people a year; ditto for AIDS or heart disease. Say we had a cure for any or all of those.... it feels like the population would be even more unsustainable than it is now, and disease would be the least of our problems.

A lot of times when they say they have found a gene that causes cancer or they have found a gene that contributes to cancer they actually only found a marker.

Cancer is causes by multiple gene malfunctions anyway, there's not one single cancer gene. Even if we were able to cure the genetic causes of cancer there are still plenty of environmental factors which can cause cancer regardless of your genetic makeup.

Research is about 98% BS.
Not to belittle their work, but the process tends to force people who do the
research to do a hard sell on their work to continue funding. If they
don't, the money tree dies off. I have gotten old and jaded. Too many
studies are proved wrong after one of these big announcements.
Just my luck now, I'll die of cancer!

I've had a few friends die of cancer. This is good news even if it doesn't lead to an immediate Bayer Cancer pill. Every inch of light we shed is a step in the right direction.

Panacea is the name given to this effective alternative cancer cure. It uses a natural form of therapy wherein a specific bacteria-killing environment is created within your body systems. This environment is altered to make sure that bacteria will not be able to survive within you. The works of the panacea does not cure that particular disease itself. It gives your body the strength and the capacity to cure itself of that disease.

Great first post, Paul. Where were you four years ago when my Dad passed away from this easily curable disease?


Mods, give me amnesty....


FUCK OFF AND TAKE YOUR SPAM ELSEWHERE!!!!

Fucktard.
How about a be all end all cure for ALS? You got something for that? If you do, where were you when I watched my Mom go from a vibrant pixie of a woman to a person that could not physically express her emotions, but lived in her own caged Hell until the point she could not breath on her own.

Fuck You Fuck you.

I remember seeing a story on a man who stumbled upon a cure for cancer by accident. This does work and has been proven in the lab and trials are underway now (human trials are set for 2010 if all keeps going well). I feel for those that have lost a family member to cancer and hopefully this will help put an end to cancer once and for all. Here is a link to the website and video that explains everything in a very simple way. Just click on the video and watch.

I bought my wife and daughter a pendant to help fund and further this breakthrough. I am not affiliated with this at all but this looked like a good way to spend some of my hard earned cash and make a positive contribution to help others. If you are one that does donate to charity to likes to help others, check this link out. 100% of the funds go into funding this awesome breakthrough.

I was stage 4 Hodgkins lymphoma and got past it with only 6.5 months of Chemo. I got lucky that my cancer was so aggressive. Apparently the more aggressive the easier it is to smoke out.

Let me tell you there is no more humbling experience than sitting in the chemo room with a terminal patient. I did it several times during my treatments and it made me realize how lucky i was.
