You won’t hear much more about this. Too much money in treating cancer and in researching eliminating cancer to actually eliminate it.

[Fungi]

“Might?” A very big word.

Other discussion on this possible breakthrough yesterday and today,,,

’One-Size-Fits-All' Cancer Treatment Could Be On The Horizon After Scientists Discover New Immune Cell By Accident Newsweek

Immune discovery 'may treat all cancer'

[Viking2002]

This could be one hell of a thing if they can confirm it. Can you imagine? And by accident?

Right up there with that Cold Fusion the Utah scientists discovered 20 years ago

Great. Just after I had my prostate fried to a crisp.

“Previously nobody believed this could be possible. It raises the prospect of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ cancer treatment, a single type of T-cell that could be capable of destroying many different types of cancers across the population.”

The Cure

[Bommer]

No offense but Israelis think they have a cure for cancer
Canadians cure Cancer.... but no one notices
Kim Jong UN claims to cured cancer...and AIDS...and Ebola with a single miracle drug

[Tacrolimus1mg]

T-Cells? Zombie apocalypse? What?

4 itchy tasty.

This is impossible. We have been told time-after-time that advancements in medicine, particularly in drugs, are impossible without the profiteering, free wheeling, free enterprise system that is American Medicine. That great burgeoning medical industrial complex that saves lives and commandeers 25% of the GDP and aims to get even more. The system that intends to exchange all of our money if possible for our lives while preying on human frailty and even love to no good end since we will all die one day anyway. Sounds strangely like extortion doesn’t it?

CNN Reports that Trump is putting Cancer Research Scientests out of work.

I recently saw a report that deaths from cancer have declined about 30% over the last 20 years.

I am recurrence free after five years after taking one of the targetted "miracle" drugs. Incredibly expensive and almost totally covered by my insurance.

The same drug has reduced the five year mortality rate of chronic myeloid leukemia from 90% to about 40% (from memory so maybe off some).

This same drug now is available as a generic and has three manufacturers.

Didn’t Trump recently sign into a law a bill that would allow terminal patients to use whatever experimental treatments available even if not approved by whatever gov agency does that?

Seems to me all cancers are terminal so anyone with it should be able to try this treatment at the earliest possible time after being diagnosed.

supposedly it kicks immune system into high gear too- but what about folks with autoimmune systems- kicking immune system into higher gear would be bad for them- and cause their autoimmune disease to attack healthy tissue even more?

[Yo-Yo]

“Accidently,” unless you’re rich or powerful. Then these ‘cures’ have been around for a while. Just ask Supreme Court Justice Ruth Buzzy about cancer treatments.

[The Duke]

I feel like there’s “Far Side” cartoon potential here! 🙂

[a little elbow grease]

That is FABULOUS NEWS .........

.......... now can they work on political ignorance and general stupidity?
