forgive me if i think this is bull shite. a legit cure would make so much money hand over foot initially that it would attract plenty of investors who are looking for a quick bang and not a long term stream of revenue. not to mention the good pub that goes with curing cancer.


Spot on.

A cure for cancer would be the most profitable drug ever created.

Sorry for not coming back and responding to that earlier.

In a CoC program a few years ago we went and toured Hospitals, the VA and A&Ms cancer research in Temple, TX. At the cancer research center they said they've found and worked on several clinical trials that have had 40-70% success rates in various cancers. Breast, lung, colon, prostate, and others. Not one of them have been picked by big pharmaceuticals. I asked why and the answer I was given was exact that you've heard. The money to go through FDA and larger clinical trials would not match the possible money from the treatment. It would be a sinkhole for years and years and they aren't willing to put the investment into it.
