As far as I’m concerned, all these “cure” organizations are scams.
The phones and web-site at Kommen are melting!!!!
Many of these charities are businesses pure and simple. You really want to help out with the fight against cancer ? Help the person ! Help them with bills that tend to build up when something like this affects them and their families. Be a listening ear, help with transportation, babysitting, meals etc....

At least in the following sense. When you pay for research, you get... research.
When you offer a reward for a cure, you get.... cures.
Can you imagine if wanted posters offered money to people to look for the bad guy?
They are. There are many good people working for them, but they aren’t in on the scam.
It’s mainly about guilting people into donations, to propagate the group’s existence, turn them into ‘experts’ to raise their profile and power, and throw money over to certain research scientists so that it will never be used to ever make a cure.
For example the people researching natural anti-cancer compounds are not being funded by any of these ‘cure’ groups. You can’t patent natural substances. They do know they could patent pills and solutions of natural substances that are enhanced and compressed and released in patented special delivery systems (time released, etc), but they don’t want to touch natural compounds.
Think about it. If a “cure” ever is found, these people’s livelihood goes away. You really think all these people want to see themselves out of work? Seriously?
