Give it to a pile o' patients. If they are cured the testing is complete. Next step would be over the counter.

All this neverending" clinical phase" crap is more to figure out how many more patents they can squeeze out than it is to make sure it's "safe". Safe is relative. Ever watch a drug commercial and hear the hi-speed spiel at the end of a blistering list of "side effects" you'll get?
I would say that the cancer being cured outweighs vomiting, diarrhea, stuffiness, cramps, difficulty in acheiving an erection, blah, blah, etc. ad nausam and so forth.

I wish. And it isn't the FDA's fault, either. One of those patients dies and the relatives sue the company - drug companies are all big and rich, dontcha know - sue for the Big Bucks. Ain't gonna happen.

Besides, it's a long way from dropping the stuff into a suspension of cancer cells and managing to get it into the appropriate site in the body in the proper concentration, once we even figure out what that is. Shoot enough straight penicillin into a patient and you kill him. This is nowhere near ready to field yet.

The Medical Community are not as interested in curing cancer as we are.

They are interested in studying cancer. The difference is huge, and the results are a massive fraud of the masses.

Thomas Edison, if alive today, would be studying the possibility of a light bulb and would still be applying for government grants instead of selling product.

PhD-types are trained to be self-absorbed a$$holes who can't fathom the existence of something they can't understand. This precludes them from being useful towards solving problems such as death by cancer.

That's illegal. The disclaimers are for the lawyers. Health care companies are sued hundreds of times every day.
