The cannabis oil is really where it's at, not so much smoking it, when it comes to killing cells instead of just alleviating pain.


It has only been shown to improve efficacy of existing treatments, not "kill cancer" on its own in human models. It also reduces symptoms of existing treatments. They stimulate antitumor agents in the body and increase uptake of chemo drugs, which make chemo more likely to work.

It certainly has great usefulness, but your posts are terribly misleading and, given that I suspect you know this, irresponsible.

Nice link, I'm sure cancer.gov is really going to blow the doors open on a cheap and readily availabe cure for cancer.

As a collective culture we ignore what is causing an influx in cancer while throwing unprecedented amounts of money at finding a magic potion cure.


Yes, but not doctors. We arent ignoring miracle cures for this big payday. We throw ourselves at people trying to get them to live healthy, and BILLIONS is spent every year researching alternative treatments. Its why claims of naturopath are so easy to dismiss most of the time, because real science has a verdict on the issue thanks to massive research on the topic.

Somehow your response to that was doctors are telling people to be healthy (which is a very debatable topic of its own). What don't you get about the term 'collective culture'?


You are blaming modern medicine for the health ignorance of the general population. Your posts should be directed at individuals, not doctors, researchers, the pharm companies, etc. The people ignoring your advice are not in medicine.

Nope, you're still confused.

No words of mine can unconfuse you, it has to be done from within.

As I said earlier, there is no arguing against these conspiracy theories. If you want to believe that tens of thousands of people are in on a conspiracy to keep a cancer cure under wraps, I cant change your mind.

1). If there was an actual effective cure for cancer, how much could you charge for it?

2). How much would an insurance company pay for it?

3). Why would the government not approve it?

Well since you have now officially absolved all parties of responsibility in your quest to paint me as an intellectual midget, I guess we're done here.

When a doctor checks someone's blood pressure and finds out it's high, what is the first thing they prescribe?

His answer won't be the truth, which is "diet and exercise".

He divulged his prognosis freely in 2004.

2). 70%, the most optimistic scenario you presented, is not really anywhere close to 100%.


No, stage one with no complications and immediate complete surgical resection would be closer to 100%. The lower overall average is due to complications in some patients.

The chief of medicine at Sloan -Kettering, one of the most prestigious medical positions on Earth with direct knowledge of his case, basically said he committed suicide.

No. You should "do your own research" and just magically figure out all these amazing cures he found on backwater internet sites.

Get your shite together.

Excellent

The same goes for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, etc. Doctors get very little benefit from overprescribing drugs despite what people think and know that the best option is lifestyle change if possible.

I wish he would put out a book so I can learn how to discover all the truths about the universe with the limited hours in my day. The dude has to be the smartest human who ever lived.

From what I gather, the opposite is actually true.

Doctors aren't shoving pills down patients' throats - the patients are DEMANDING pills.

My wife gets yelled at daily for telling her patients that a change of diet and exercise routine would do wonders for them. She's been told several times to "shut up and give me my medicine to make me feel better".
