I recently emailed this article to my friends:

Curry Compound Kills Cancer Cells

Fantastic news.

Thank you for posting this. My sister-in-law recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and doesn’t do well with chemo. This is hope :-)

So bittersweet, reading about this now, after the love of my life died from breast cancer this past January.

kind of curious that’s it ok to submit your 14 year old to an experimental drug, but when the parents of a 14 year in Minnesota decided to forgo failed chemo for a natural approach, the government sent the fbi, us marshals and Interpol after them.

Think I saw this on a Star Trek episode with the Borg :-)

Good news! This therapy should be widely available in 3-5 years!

"This is absolutely one of the more exciting advances I've seen in cancer therapy in the last 20 years," said Dr. David Porter, a hematologist and oncologist at Penn."
Well, I would hope so after 40-50 years and billions of dollars spent on "research."
Quite frankly, I think too many make a living doing "research" to ever find a real cure.
Reminds me of Jerry Lewis and his MD telethons. Collected about $35 million a year for 40 years (~ $1.5 billion) and as far as I can tell, never made a dent in the disease.

For what it's worth, curry (or turmeric) has been linked to prevention of Alzheimer's. Guess which country has one of the lowest rates of Alzheimer's?

India. Coincidence or genetics?

A wonderful breakthru.

And absolutely hellishly scary all at the same time.

Re the article’s title. We can’t cure the common cold.

Cancer is a *itch and a complicated one. I am very leery of anyone pronouncing a “cure.” A lengthy, monitored remission, perhaps lifelong, is the best one can hope after diagnosis of a systemic or metastatic cancer. Immunotherapy is very promising in this regard and holds out much hope as far as alleviation of symptoms and extended quality of life. It’s not a cure though, it’s a treatment. That word, cure, has caused more heartache and more billions to be thrown at it than anything outside of “poverty.”

Obama will do everything that he can to ensure that this technology is never produced.

if true, they will most likely shut it down.

can’t have old folks living long, now that the fedgov is supposed to cover the bills

At the end of May of this year I fell head-first into a Stage-3 Colon cancer diagnosis. This after a nest of polyps and a few parts I didn't need were removed. I have one more treatment of chemotherapy and then, in January, we'll see what the tests, scans, and blood work reveal.

It is a spiritually, physically, and emotionally jarring experience to be told you have cancer. The docs are quick with the bell-curves of survivability. Other self-education usually involves similar information. It's a little like being told ahead of time that you're team probably won't make it to the finals. It's easy to be discouraged and just quit. The chemo side-effects haven't been as bad for me as they are for others and for this I am thankful.

Meanwhile, articles like this are hopeful, but I know someone with cancer is looking for hope and there are so many 'alternative' cures, yet none of them seem to make the breakthrough into mainstream. There is so much conflicting information that it is difficult to trust much of it. I like my doctor. I don't like what he tells me, but I like how he says it (if that makes sense).

It's all been quite harrowing. Just my two cents. Occasionally, I update my status on my blog (pimping, I know, but hey, I've got cancer so maybe I get a freebie).

Bttt

I know of someone who had this treatment. It seems very promising!
