I’ve been thinking about Covid-19, the lock-down/quarantine, and the debate over using these drugs like hydroxychloroquine to treat it. Some say don’t use the drugs, some say it’s 100% effective. I started looking up other uses of this particular medication and there have been some trials where hydroxychloroquine is effective in treating cancer cells. Imagine if this drug has been KNOWN to effectively treat cancer, but for decades has been hidden from us so that the entire “cancer” industry can continue to profit?!?! Q has alluded to such a possibility. Perhaps we should be delving in more and questioning. Maybe this virus and this treatment is the road to exposing the biggest con job ever played on humanity.
Back in the 1980s, one my classmates was the son of a cancer researcher at MD Anderson. He gave a lecture to our biology class... and it was about the role viruses play in causing cancer. He was adamant that almost all cancers had a viral cause. I have no idea of that is true... except in the case of some ovarian cancers. But I’ll never forget that lecture.
I’ve heard something to that effect about cancers being caused initially by viruses. Similar to what researchers have discovered about ulcers. Considering the amount of $ that drug companies, insurance companies, politicians and the medical industry in general are making off of the ongoing “war” against cancer, although horrifying, it would not be surprising to know that they’ve hidden the truth.
I very much doubt that all cancers have viral origins. There are IMO several factors which lead to cancer tumors. Viruses could be a small fraction.
Why smokers get lung cancer 5 times as often as non-smokers? Do viruses only like smokers? Sounds silly.
Why obese women get more cancers in breast and other places than slim women? I doubt if viruses can tell who is obese.
Why men who eat lot of red meat get more prostate cancers than vegetarians? Prostate cancer is rare in India which is mostly vegetarians. Again, viruses is not the answer.
I don’t think they are hiding anything that is already known. I think it’s more a matter of getting enough funding for research to prove it. Similar to the difficulty in getting research for treatments that can’t be patented or for orphan diseases with limited marketability. Countries with socialized medicine would probably want to use any currently known treatments that reduced their total spend.
Yes...absorbed zinc is beneficial to proper cellular metabolism and would have positive effects against abnormal cell activity.
And here I thought that only CBD was capable of curing everything from hang nails to decapitation
I had that thought too. Went looking and posted here the other day that the world cancer rate maps match those malaria/no malaria maps almost exactly.
this was an odd post until I discovered the reason that it’s an odd post.
exactly- i wish “R” would start a website debunking everything “Q” says-
Really?
HPV is also known to cause oral cancer. Michael Douglas thinks he got his by eating p****, as he put it.
Interestingly some viruses are also being researched to fight cancer. Called 'oncolytic' (tumor destroying) viruses, they selectively infect cancer cells and destroy them.
It has been said that if Trump provided a cure for cancer, the Fake Media would still blame him for death.
Interesting. I’ll check that out.

Clinical Trials Using Hydroxychloroquine.
This seems to say yes, but I don't speak PhD Cancer Researcher and can't figure out what cancers they are talking about at all. The next one is a little clearer for non-PhD's:
"Meaning Hydroxychloroquine added to chemotherapy did not improve overall survival among patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer."
That's a no. But then there's this:
Repurposing Drugs in Oncology (ReDO)—chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as anti-cancer agents:
"Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are well-known 4-aminoquinoline antimalarial agents. Scientific evidence also supports the use of CQ and HCQ in the treatment of cancer. Overall, preclinical studies support CQ and HCQ use in anti-cancer therapy, especially in combination with conventional anti-cancer treatments since they are able to sensitise tumour cells to a variety of drugs, potentiating the therapeutic activity. Thus far, clinical results are mostly in favour of the repurposing of CQ. However, over 30 clinical studies are still evaluating the activity of both CQ and HCQ in different cancer types and in combination with various standard treatments."
From the few words I understand, there seem to be lots of unfinished studies in progress.
The clinical value of using chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine as autophagy inhibitors in the treatment of cancers A systematic review and meta-analysis:
"Conclusion:
"This meta-analysis showed that autophagy-inhibitor-based therapy has better treatment response compared to chemotherapy or radiation therapy without inhibiting autophagy, which may provide a new strategy for the treatment of cancers."
So... another qualified yes from looking at other maybes?
My barely informed conclusion:
Lots of doctors are already looking into it. As a actual cure for any particular form of cancer, probably not. As part of treatment for some cancers, it might start seeing some use in a few years.
