Article 2

DiscordantEdit: Fixed the links so they won't stretch the page.

EDIT: Sorry for stretching the page. It wasn't stretched on my computer, so I wasn't aware of it.

Wow.This might change the world.

Just... wow.

This is almost scary if it's indeed the whole story. I think I need to go cry a little.

If they did have a cure, they'd probably not want to tell anyone. They make more money when they are barely keeping you alive than if they cure you.

Ever think that people aren't exactly out there to make money all the time? Can you imagine the actual out rage that would be had if people charged a huge amount of money for a cure for something as generally common as cancer?

Not to mention if you read the full article it goes on to talk about how there's no patent on the drug and because it's easy to make it would be hard to make money off of it. I think you'd have to be a pretty sick individual to want to make money off of peoples pain and suffering and death.

ahoteinrun, my thoughts exactly. If they aren't supporting this, there have to be a few donation charities. I'd donate to help people get over cancer seeing as we have the answer, we just need to get it around everywhere.

Yeah, like Smudge said. Hopefully people do more research, and it becomes well known, and more is found out about it and published!

So...they won't make it known to the world because they won't make profit? That's sick. I really hope that the news of this spreads because this could save a LOT of lives.

It's not the college that's holding back the info... otherwise they wouldn't have posted the article. It's the pharmaceutical companies and companies that people who get money to research cancer, and get paid for cancer stuff - but cancer stuff that doesn't cure - things like drugs to mask the pain, and things like that. Those are the people - who are making money - who are hiding it. The colleges aren't hiding it, because they don't make money off selling cancer drugs and equipment.

Wow, how wrong is that? Think of how many people in the world have lung cancer, how many women in the world have breast cancer and how many people have brain cancer and tumors, that could easily and efficiently destroy all those cells while keeping people healthy.

But honestly, is anyone suprised that pharmacutical companies aren't going to produce it? This isn't the first time it's happened; in fact it's one in the line of thousands of drugs that could cure but aren't marketed. Everything from headaches to cancer could be cured, but aren't. Companies would much rather dull our pain and temporarily take it away, in hopes that we'll keep needing the medications. And everyone who's said so already is completely right: these individuals who are marketing said products are sick, sick people.

What's so wrong with helping the world?

Someone really needs to sort the links out on this page...

Another note to add to this...
The reason that I began studying marine biology is because about 5 years ago there was a sea sponge found off the coast of florida that, without a doubt, WILL cure breast cancer. However, with the hurricane that happened out there a few years ago... The colony of sea sponges was moved. Now the people that were researching it suddenly have no samples to examine... and their funding died. The government COULD be giving them funding to find these sea sponges... but apparently it isn't important enough.

Quick reminder to all: This is not the Debate Forum, so keep things nice or it'll be moved there.

On topic, but if those companies won't help spread the word, then we should. The internet is very powerful, no? All we'd need to do is show our friends these articles, and it'll gain exposure much quicker than many of us realize it would.

*is still just tickled pink that someone else out there loves Katamari as much as she does*

Anyone else getting the too-good-to-be-true feeling?
A lot of things get hyped up as something new and innovative and curative, and only later do we discover that it only suppresses the problem temporarily, or causes some horrible genetic mutation in the next generation, or reanimates dead people as evil zombies/communists.
Now that I've been Captain Bringdown, I'd like to say that it's impossible to keep this from being big media news if people on the internet--that magical, insane group known as "nerds"--generate at least as much buzz about it as they did about Snakes on a Plane.
