Heard that headline for decades - cancer will not be “cured” by the medicos until something else deadly enough in large enough numbers comes along to keep the money flowing.

Cancer cure 'may be available in two years'

Utterly preposterous.

Not to mention cruel and deceitful.

My theory for the cure:

Chromosomes have telomeres on the end, to protect the DNA from getting destroyed through division. Each time the cell divides however, the telomere gets a bit shorter. The only reason it doesn’t disappear completely is because of the enzyme telomerase, which helps regenerate it. In cancer cells however, cell division is taking place extremely rapidly. The telomeres of the defective DNA are getting cut shorter much quicker. Since this is DNA of the cancer cells, we don’t want that DNA, we don’t want malignant cells. If we could find a competitive inhibitor to the enzyme telomerase and inject it into the cancerous cells, perhaps the telomerase would stop working and would not regenerate telomeres on cancer cell chromosomes. Thus, due to rapid mitosis (cellular division), the cell would ultimately kill itself because the telomeres would disslove quicker and delete the DNA in the nucleus of the cancer cell.

But hopefully the cure will be here via this guy.

All of this done without the need of John Edwards.

Here’s hoping!!

What?! We didn’t have to suck stem cells from murdered children to accomplish this?!

God , please let this be true, and hasten the day.

We are losing many good people to this insidious disease.

[HangnJudge]

plasmapheresis has been looked at
in cancer therapy for decades

Immungenic treatments for cancer
with various activating techniques
have been looked at for >25 years

They frequently show “initial promise” then
fail miserably in the long term

I have little hope for this research...

[Westlander]

Thank goodness Al Gore originated this research, being he’s such a busy inventor.

Cancer is a wicked and persistent disease that always seems to find a way around treatments. Whatever the treatment the body it is usually only a matter of time until resistance sets in and the treatment is no longer effective. I believe there are some cancers at advance stages that are not treatable by immunological means.

However, that cancer cure may not be available under the UK’s National Health System as it is too costly.
