Question

My father thinks there really IS a cure for cancer?

Answer 1

Most cancers are cured with surgery.

There will never be a single cure for all of those diseases.

Most doctors do not get paid crap for treating cancer patients so I would love to see his proof on the ones that do and how they get the doctors around the world to conspire with them.





BTW those doctors around the world much be really committed to this conspiracy since they and their family members also die from cancer…………….please get him to explain.

Answer 2

why would scientist spend their hole lives researching cancer other that to save people from it. The money is not worth it. there is not a cure yet

Answer 3

Paracelsus already said: "The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind. "

I wish doctors wouldn't ignore the power of natural healing as much as they do nowadays.



Conventional Western Medicine has long been in conflict with the ideals of total wellness and disease recovery as it repeatedly separates the disease from the patient and uses science to attempt to explain the disease process and recovery contrary to the natural laws of healing. The adverse reactions to drugs and surgery are increasing at an exponential rate causing untold suffering and death. However, Medicine is manipulated by the economy, big business, and politics, even though many believe it is not, and the media lead consumers to believe that the greatness of scientific discovery in medicine is the brainchild of our country, even with its obvious faults.



Herbal medicine has been the mainstay of the practice of medicine since its very inception. Intervention of illness practically began with the use of herbal remedies and there are examples of herbal remedies as far back as there are written records.



One of the benefits around the use of herbal remedies is there are almost never any negative side effects, when used correctly. Carefully chosen herbs work gently on the body, and are not intrusive. Also, because it is natural, herbs tend to complement the body’s systems, instead of working or fighting against them. Herbal remedies can be used as both a preventative measure as well as a way to help balance the body when it has broken down and is suffering from chronic illness, such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, or high blood pressure.



The holistic approach centers on prevention and identifying at-risk areas of health before it becomes a problem. Conventional medicine has become little more than disease management. Conventional medicine may be beneficial for acute injuries, such as a car accident, broken bones, heat stroke, frostbite, and the like; however chronic conditions such as the flu, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer can all benefit from a more holistic approach that incorporates herbal remedies into a regimen of care.

Answer 4

Oh, goodness, this sounds like something my father in law would do. He read a book, probably by that same writer you mentioned, anyway, this person wrote a book suggesting that every disease known to man could be cured if you drank water. (Could you just die.) So apparently you take your weight.....say you weigh 200 pounds, then divide that by 2 so you get 100 pounds....so you need to drink 100 ounces of water each day.......well according to my ex father in law. So you can't drink all that water at once so he figured out that every two hours, (seriously), he would drink so much water. He honestly set a timer on his watch to go off every two hours and every two hours we had to scramble to get him "water". He would work everyone up to a frenzy and you would think he was diabetic and needed insulin, but his timer on his watch went off and he wanted his water. We honestly had to leave the Dallas Farmer's Market once because the timer went off on his watch and he had to go get his water. In all fairness to the Dallas Farmer's Market they did have vendors selling bottled water......but that wouldn't have caused drama. It is hard to know if you dad is honestly right. I think doctors tend to throw pills at people instead of finding out what is really wrong with them......I battle that with my doctors and I have family members taking medications.....and they really don't know what they are taking the meds for. I have seen news reports that suggest that if a doctor pushes a certain drug on the patients....that doctor gets a free trip to Hawaii. I also think it is hard to know what charities are the right ones to give your money to. There have been a lot of charities like The Red Cross and The Salvation Army that are plagued with money mismanagement. A lot of charities claim to be finding a cure for cancer and some of them are scammers. Like with the pink ribbon promotions you see a lot. Companies put a pink ribbon on a product....charge extra for the product with the claim that they are going to give the extra money to find a cure for cancer.......people see the pink ribbon on the food products or product and they buy it thinking they are helping......only to find out that the cancer research companies are not getting a dime of that money. I guess it is hard to know what the truth is. Like with homeless people......are they really homeless or just begging for tax free money. Even some churches mismanage God's money.

Answer 5

I will have to agree with your dad pretty much on this. My reason is , unless the researchers are able to get paid bank for any discovery they make they arent going to announce that they have found anything. They get paid over 100,000 a year to kick back and do research, and if they find a cure they want to make sure they are going to get paid bank since they wont have a job after giving up the cure. As long as they can convince people that they are close to finding the cure and get those donations and federal grants coming in they are set. Example, years back in France a team of researchers found a cure for AIDS but they also announced that the treatments would run like $10,000 a month. Everything is about money. Everything is a business and unless they see big money for their pockets they wont come out with any cure that they might find or have found.

Answer 6

I'm sorry to have to disagree with him.



I first heard something like this about 65 years ago.

I was told that someone had invented a safety razor blade that would NEVER

GO DULL!



Why couldn't you buy one? Well the blade manufacturers did not want to be

put out of business, and bought the patent, then refused to use it.



Makes a great story, doesn't it? The problem is that it wasn't true.



Your dad's cancer story isn't true either.



Don't try to convince him that he's wrong. People usually go to their

graves with this sort of belief.



In fact, great advances in cancer treatment have been made, and more

appear every year. A major problem is that cancer isn't a single

disease. It is hundreds of them. That is why improved treatments

have not come faster.

Answer 7

I've heard that there might be one (that is looking promising). But if there is, it's still being tested (so the organization that's looking for the cure still needs money). I don't remember any of the details that I heard, though.

Answer 8

Lymphocytes

Disease-fighting white blood cells produced by the body's immune system. The main types of lymphocytes include: T cells (which attack virus-infected cells, foreign cells and tumor cells), B cells (which produce antibodies and other substances that fight infection, cancer, and other diseases) and natural killer (NK) cells (which attach to and kill abnormal cells like cancer cells).



I have done hours upon hours of research on probiotics and their ability to increase white blood cells (Lymphocytes), among those "T-Cells", Natural-Killer Cells", B-Cells. Studies can be found at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.

The two refrigerated probiotics that contain all the beneficial strains are "Jarrow Formulas® Ultra Jarro-Dophilus" and "Vitacost Probiotic 15-35 - 35 Billion CFU". These must be shipped over night with a cold-pack or the product will spoil!

Answer 9

Kevin Trudeau is a cynical, unscrupulous conman, and a convicted fraud..



He's also damn clever - a sales representative and skilled snake oil salesmen with no medical skills whatsoever who’s managed to become a multimillionaire by scamming desperate people and repeating numerous bizarre theories (wear white to prevent disease and other such bunkum). He’s a a charlatan of the worst kind.; he's laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of the vulnerable, the desperate and the gullible.



The most despicable thing about him is he doesn't care who suffers or dies as a result of his money-making scams, and targets cancer patients in particular.



People newly diagnosed with cancer are often worried to the point of terror and despair and are willing to suspend common sense to grasp at what sounds like a miracle - I know, I've been there and was on the verge of doing that myself - and sometimes waste their narrow window of opportunity for a real cure by chasing the magic bullet cures pushed by charlatans like Kevin Trudeau.



He manages to avoid a third felony conviction by skirting FDA injunctions against his previous scams; he never commits to anything; he never actually says he has a cure for cancer, while leading people to believe that their cancer can be cured if they follow certain instructions.



To sum up, a ruthless charlatan who knows a good sales pitch. Some light reading on Trudeau:

Now, that 'secret' cure. It would be impossible to keep any cure secret.



Why?



Because in order to prove any particular cure worked, many hundreds of people would have to have been cured by it in clinical trials (otherwise how would anyone know it worked?).



So...why haven't we heard from these people? Why do they never tell the story of the clinical trial they were involved in that resulted in their cancer being cured?



Can't all have been paid off - they will have been selected at random (that's how it works) so no way of ensuring they would be that unprincipled.



Can't all have been killed off - they'd have to live out their long, healthy lives free of the disease in order to prove the cure worked...



So who is benefiting by keeping this much talked about hidden 'cure' a secret?



Your dad says doctors. Doctors (and scientists, and researchers) and their families develop cancer at the same rate as the rest of the population; would they really be prepared to die and watch family members die rather than reveal this secret cure? Not to mention that in those many countries where people don't pay for their treatment, it makes not a scrap of difference to a doctor's income whether a patient has the recommended treatment or not.



Drug companies? - yes, they're in it for the money - so why would they be keeping quiet about this cure even though it would bring them fame and fortune? Any drug company discovering a cure for even ONE of the 200+ types of cancer would make far more money than they can have dreamed of making up till now, blowing all competition out of the water.



And every medical professional in the whole world would have agreed to keep existence of a cure secret. Every single one. People who went into a profession to help people would be instantly turned into uncaring conspirators who put other people's profit over their patient's lives.



Governments? - I live in the UK; we don't pay for our medical treatment, including cancer treatment. Cancer treatment costs our government untold billions - no fortunes being made there. Yet we have the same treatments as the rest of the world - no miracle cure has been revealed in order to save money.



Doesn't add up when you really think about it, does it?



Oh, and cancer isn't just one disease, it's an umbrella term for over 200 diseases. Trouble with finding A cure for cancer is that different cancers caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them all, and different cancers respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them all. There will never be a magic bullet that cures all cancer.



And anyway, cancer is cured every day. Did you know (does your dad?) that 70% of children with cancer are now cured of it?
