What do you think about this new cancer treatment?

I've been reading up on this new research as well. I'm really excited about it and am curious to see how well it works in human trials. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the first time something looks promising in lab animals but fails miserably in human trials.

SIMPLE ANSWER : think about this very carefully.\nThe cure is very simple and accessible  for people with bigger vision than just having a quick fix  surgery, chemo and radiation..Let just ponder for a moment:\nif the scientists had reveiled the cure which is very simple and cheap..yes cheap... millions of people around the world would loose their jobs and thrillions of dollars in their pocket.\nThere are things that are strange but I was affected by cancer and I am fighting it the natural way and hey I am still alive after a year. Cancer establishments all over the world is nothing more that just a cash cow. They have not reveiled anything good since Nixon declared war on cancer and US spend few thrillions of dollars to find "NOTHING NEW" that was found in 1930-40-50 .\nPeople are still dying from cancer because doctors have no new tools to fight it. Chemo is the only one but is questionable toxic to cancer cells and normal cells.\nThink Vitamine C as IV application. Research hard and you will see for yourself. AVOID AT  any cost Mayo clinic..they are so negative about everything.

I know how you feel. I didn't know what to do when I found out about my mothers cancer. I was very busy and did not spend enough time with her as well. I now appreciate the quality time I spend with loved ones more than ever. Thankfully I have found something to help my mother, I hope it can help you, too!\n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

Hehe, yeah, that WAS cute.  I keep hoping Pfizer or Eli-Lily, or like, Fielding Pharmaceutical will re-introuduce Quaaludes.  \n\nLOL!\n\nWouldn't that be hilarious?

There are cures out there right now -- sometimes it is surgical and sometimes it is medical.  I don't there will ever be a single cure for cancer -- it is a complex family of diseases. Some cancers hve very good five year survival rates.  Others do not.  Early detection is almost always key.\n\nWe also know that certain things cause cancer in humans.  Not everytime and not with every person.  But if you compare 1,000 cigarette smokers to 1,000 non-smokers (all other factors being equal) you will see a large difference in lung cancer rates.  That is not to say that all smokers get cancer -- but it is to say that if smoking goes down, so do lung cancer rates.  Radon is a similar factor.  Even viruses (certain STDs) are linked with an increased rate of reproductive cancers.  Sun exposure.  Certain foods.\n\nNone of that is secret.  The government suggests avoiding tobacco, eating a health diet, etc.  Early detection also helps a lot.  Breast cancer and prostate cancer especially benefit from early detection.  That is why the government suggest regular screening for these diseases (pab, mammogram, colonoscopy) at certain ages/intervals.\n\nThere is no question that pharma has a large financial stake in the current health care system.  That said, if a company did have the miracle drug they would produce it! \n\nWhy?  That company would have an almost invaluable asset -- one subject to intellectual property protections.  Set on a shelf that is worth nothing to the company.  On the market, it would probably make a company with only that product the most valuable pharma company in the world.\n\nOne has to only look at several recent examples to see how pharma benefits from introducig new drugs -- look at the Cox2 inhibitors.  Or new PPIs that are little different from what will soon enough be available as generic.  They spend buckets of money on R&D and advertising.  That only generates revenue when they have a product to sell.\n\nThe only way the conspiracy theory works is if there is some non-patentable treatment out there that pharma discovered long ago.  And I don't believe that for a second!  Cancer is too complicated for a single cure. And I can't imagine something that couldn't get some intellectual protection.  Information leaks.  These people have families who suffer from these same illnesses.\n\nIn terms of the FDA, federal law does prohibit marketing medicine that has not been proven safe and effective.  One can argue about where we are at in that balancing act.  But the idea is that I can't make my own variety of snake oil (mabe even one containing a carcinogen) and then claiming it cures cancer 100% of the time.\n\nIn terms of presidents, I think Grant died of cancer.\n\nLast point:  if such a product existed, it would likely save the government lots of money.  The federal governmant pays for medicare (including chemo drugs).  The state and federal governments split the costs of medicaid (low income).\n\nSo, this is really nothing more than an urban legend -- a cruel one that makes little sense to me.

I am 67 and have had Prostate Cancer. My doctor has a very high success rate here in Chicago. He is an Oncologist as well as a Urologist. Operations and "Seeds" don't seem to wotk too well. His treatments do. I wish there was some way to communicate. He is really very good. He cured me.

Val,\n\nLots of people live for 10 years with MM;  you would have to go to the IMF for exact details on 5 year numbers etc but I know a couple of 15 years and just saw an announcement on the MMA listserve of one celebrating his 25th year.  \n\nMy doc thinks I am going to one of those 10+ year guys and I promised my girl 20+ and I AM !! going to make it for my son, her and my family.\n\nHate to say it but so of it comes down to luck of the draw on which "type of MM" you have,  how well you take to treatments, age, mental outlook,  and general "other" health.  Young, and strondg at diagnosis give you a better fighting chance than someone who is over 70 with other health problems.\n\n While I know some people that are doing well after 5, 9 and 12+ years.  I also know some people that are diagnosed and dead in less than 3 years.  That's the reality of MM;  it is, by definition, a terminal cancer without a cure but it is more treatable every month.  Even in  the last 2 years we have better drugs such as Velcade and others - with more in phase II trail as we speak.  \n\nMy biggest beef is when I was diagnosed, I looked at the NCI website and they give you the horrid 5 year survival of under 5 years.   That may have been true in the 90's but with all the new meds coming down the pike,  I think MM will go from a "terminal cancer" to a "treatable with no cure cancer" in the next coupe of years.\n\nBut that depends on $$ because $$ = research and reseach = cures,  so support the MMRF and the IMF; they are the front lines for a cure.\n\nHope it helps,  \n\nJewells\n28 months and still here

Sick....But funny...\nI was stopped in the street late week by a charity worker...\nHe said can you spare a moment for cancer research....\nOK i said but i won't find out much....

Yes. I've heard of it. There was a video about it on CBS news that was pretty interesting. It's been around for a few years. Not all cancers are on the computer system. But the way it works is that the supercomputer analyzes a tumor very fast and finds the best treatment for that specific tumor based on a sample from the patient.\n\nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/12/eveningnews/main2086555.shtml \n\nHope this works for your Dad.\n\nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=2086915n

Finding the cure for cancer.

I think we do have a cure for cancer, but people are soo greedy for money that they don't put it out. Cuz like...a cure would be a one time treatment, but to slow down symptoms like we do now, you need to continuously keep buying medicines and stuff. So in the long run, they make more money that way.

Yes, it's very treatable.  I don't know of anyone that has had this done that had it come back.  \n\nI know you're scared.  Stuff like this can be scary at times.  But chances are in your favor that you will be just fine.

It has a treatment, and possibly a cure.  If you know the medical term then you probably know a urologist.  What do you really want to know?

Get cancer. Not the best approach, IMHO.

I am so sorry to hear about your family friend and hope you are providing support and understandin right now....the fact that she has secondarys (the cancer has spread to  another part of the body) is , I will be honest, worrying.  I know how awful this illness can be and how devastating it can be especially when the person has been healthy....my dad got cancer...he didn;t smoke, he was active and healthy....by the time he was diagnosed he had secondarys.  The chemo might be there to ease the side effects rather than cure or extend life...she needs to know which it is in her case....my thoughts are with your friend and all who love her right now...I do wish you well and hope that any news she has is positive.  Keep us updated? and if you need to chat...feel free to mail me
