The point is - we throw unprecedented amounts of money at 'finding a cure' for something while ignoring as a collective culture what is causing the influx in the disease.


Who is ignoring it? Certainly not doctors and researchers. Doctors plead and beg with their patients to make healthy lifestyle changes, but we cant force people to do it. We know eating right, exercising and reducing stress reduce the incidence of disease.

The cancer industry is something like a 200 billion dollar gig, with all kinds of secondary and tertiary finical benefits to the health care industry.


Because when people inevitably get cancer, they want effective treatment. Cancer cells dont care how much herbal tea you drink.

There are all kinds of things that we know, scientifically, kill cancer cells yet these things are not made mainstream and not offered to patients by doctors because it does not financially feed the industry. I'm not obligated to share, link, or prove what I just said.. anyone that cares can choose to do their own homework.


This is, at best, a misleading statement and at worst an outright lie.

No, there are no scientifically proven compounds that outright kill cancer and that are tolerated well enough by the body to be effective treatment options that we know of that are not heavily researched and utilized. Now if you want to get into one of your wild conspiracy theories about big pharm then I cant possibly convince you otherwise.

There ARE relatively common compounds for which either anecdotal or minimal research shows promise in aiding cancer treatment. That being said, the drugs we have are by far the most effective treatment options at present

I'll agree with him that they do try to deny cancer patients pot in parts of the country.

This comment displays your lack of understanding of the point. It's not about doctors encouraging people to be healthy, which is a debatable topic of its own.

Herbal tea's aren't what has been proven to kill cancer cells, but nice sarcastic jab.
