Lost the plumbing to surgery this year to cancer and all I really had to do was hit the 'ol Cepacol?

Sorry to hear that.

I think I'll be satisfying my sweet tooth with cough drops now. Or morphine.

The article suggests that noscapine may help with other cancers..

Somebody please tell me if I read this wrong.

The way I read this it says that Noscopine has been poven to work well in treatement of prostate and other cancers, but because it is a natural ingredient it cannot be patented, therefore the pharmaceutical industry cannot make billions off it , so instead they are spending time and resources trying to produce a substitute they CAN make millions off. Meanwhile people are dying because they cannot get rich off the cure.

Now that is a simplistic reading of what I got from this story, please tell me I am wrong.
