Maybe we will be lucky, and cancer will go the way of many other diseases......
brought low by a shot in the butt.

I don't think it works with emphysema or heart disease, both also side effects of smoking.

Good heavens! A cheap and effective anti-cancer drug without a patent? ZOIKS! Drug company executives must be fainting by the dozens.

Unless the FDA fast-tracks it, it will be years before US patients see it...

Yawn. Bird flu and third world cancer cures suppressed by the evil military industrial complex.
Heard it all in the 70s when it was swine flu and apricot pit extract.

He is not a dupe, but his post may be.
I'll give him a pass.

No Patent?
Nobody will ever credibly promote it, because if a company can't protect it's profitablity, they'd rather undermine it.
And the Doctor's will join the drug companies in undermining it for the same reason.
Do you have any idea how HUGE the cancer treatment industry is???
I only truly learned after going through radiation at one facility and chemo at another, during combined treatment.
It's amazing how many patients they crank through there in any given week!

I suspect it's more junk science from our friends up north.
To: LibWhacker
Since the drug is already used to treat a disease (I assume with FDA approval), why should any drug company that wants to sell it need to re-prove its safety, at least at approved dosage? The risks should already be documented. Drug companies can't market the drug as a 'cancer killer', but doctors can prescribe a drug for anything they want.
