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.

Dumb paranoid comment of the week.

Heard that headline for decades - cancer will not be “cured”

My Bro-in-law is a cancer specialist here in S.E. Michigan and he has been having great success with treatment of lung cancer.

A couple weeks ago I had a long conversation with his son (my nephew of course) who is also a doctor and he explained to me the politics that goes on within the medical community.

Most doctors only follow established "protocols" when treating cancer. Kinda like continuing to pitch fast balls to Barry Bonds. Sameo, sameo.......

He is constantly changing his treatments and trying to bring aboard other doctors who basically belong to the old school.

Then 6 months later, there will be an article in the AMA relevant to new successful treatments of different cancers and lo and behold, that's what my bro-in-law has been trying to tell his counterparts.........

bottom line is, it's all political and most doctors, afraid of the legal system, will only treat their patients with pre-established (and in many cases useless) medical treatments.

Doctors and pharmaceutical researchers get cancer too.
I guess they must take one for the team to keep the conspiracy going,
