Yeah I'm not sold on the cancer cure conspiracy, either. I think of all the money we spend on the current treatments: chemotherapy and radiation. And basically no one in this country is denied these. Meaning that tons of public funds are paying for it in many if not most cases. I'm crying bullshite.

I agree. Cancer is so complex that it defies all the solutions that medical technology hurl at it. Research into the causes and possible treatments for cancer is a major industry.

Cancer research is one of the main efforts at UK and UofL. The Markey Cancer Center is nationally recognized at UK. Research is so intense and in demand that the school is building a new $265 million research center on campus. Since 2000, UK and UofL have built medical structures that total $2+ billion.

Kentucky has the highest rates of cancer in the nation and our other health measures are in the lowest categories, too. Thank goodness our two main universities are trying to change that.
