Acid test for if people who profit from cancer are hiding cures

in #cancer7 years ago

The accusations that people who make millions, and even billions from cancer research and treatment are intentionally hiding real cures to cancer have got to stop. Either they are, or they aren’t. Here is a test.

Have the people who are financially profiting from cancer research and treatment publish a list of people in their immediate families, including themselves, who have undergone years of chemotherapy and other standard cancer treatments, or who have died from cancer. If there are people on this list, it will shut down these accusations once and for all.

Where do these accusations even come from?

“Whenever we talk about cancer, we always use the same word. Someday. Someday there will be a cure. Someday we won’t lose the people we love. But when is someday?”

This question is quoted from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society who-are-we summary. It seems to be actually flaunting the perception that finding the cure to cancer looks like an asymptote: getting always closer, but with no intention of ever actually touching down.

But just because there are motive and opportunity for cancer researchers to suppress information about real cancer cures does not prove they actually do it. The reports of doctors who have been associated with alternative cures being persecuted by the US government, or who have even died under suspicious circumstances, could be fake news. If some of them are true, their stories could be unrelated to this conflict of interest.

I am actually quite curious about whether the people in the millionaire and billionaire cancer research and treatment club undergo years of chemotherapy, and die of cancer, at the same rate as the rest of us. Is there a way to find out?
