Possible Cure for Cancer Found (DCA)...but Nobody Cares

Sure, always fun to blame corporations, but it is usually unreasonable.

however the patent would be superficial considering the active ingrdient is easily and cheaply obtainable. it would be like trying to patent vitamin c.

Aspirine is easy to make and Bayer makes a ****ing fortune selling it to anyone and everyone. Their arguments seem pretty stupid and shallow and also biased. I guess it is cool nowadays to be against big corporations and capitalism and such... but hey, you are wrong.

you cant possibly tell me that pharmacutical companies and the medical industry would welcome such a disasterous dent in profit just to rake in some change for some pill that can easily be released in generic form by any company?

Look, dude, you know I like you, if you are so sure that this stuff will work. Go to a bank, get convince them and get a credit and invest in it.
If it is as sucessful as they claim you'd also make a profit.

Or Salicylic acid, hmm?

The lack of patent is totally irrelevant. Like I say, somone simply patents a brand name and makes a fortune.

Saying they make more by keeping people sick is bunkum. Big cures bring in big money, doubly so for a disease that cannot be eradicated like it was a virus. It would be a permnanent money maker until someone worked out a vaccine (which, incidentally, pharmaceuticals are working hard on, which gives the even bigger lie to claims that they try and keep people sick for money.) Even if you are right and it would not remain cheap, the fact remains that they would still do it.

First company to get Cure for Cancer right makes more money than you can comfortably imagine. They'd undercut all their rivals too.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

The last disease that was cured was polio....in like 1955. What the hell has the medical community been doing for the last 50 years?

acetylsalicylic acid was patented till 1917. it was impossible for bayer to keep the market cornered, or they certainly would have.

1917...Bayer still big business...interesting.

Also, you could patent the cure, jsut because it isn't patented doesn't mean you can't do it.

if the acid in itself is the cure that could be difficult, ya think?

Probably not.

So what is it that you want to say, I think you should stick to one:

1. The cure has to be researched and heavily funded

2. The cure is the easiest thing we will ever see...so easy a garbage men could pull it out of their ass and there won't be a chance to make any money of it because it is soooo easy

?

and imho would prove disasterous for the cancer patient market. and lets face it, there is a strong market for cancer patients...its sad, its morbid, but profits are soaring. so, wild exhageration of the situation aside, yes

Someone that had an actual cure (and they could patent it) would make unreasonable amounts of money...so maybe the pharma industry fears to lose their profits, oh well, if it was so likely, then someone would pick it up...someone that isn't involved in the industry yet maybe, but someone would. The real problem probably is not that the big corporations are evil...that's bullshit, but that this oh so great "potential" cure is not as...potential as people would like one to believe.

Okay why does it need so much research when it is so easy to obtain?

to see if it works?

ok, lets say "an apple a day" really did keep the doctor away and cured all disease. now, how would they patent apples?

I am sure there are desperate cancer patients that will try it (especially since it is so easy to obtain) ...

What research would they need for apples?

It is probably not covered because it is just a bogus idea...you can't cover every shit that comes up.

What would you like to happen?

acknowledgement and research.

this obtuse brushing over of possibilities by the medical community and media is suspect, maybe?

Well, they can research it on their own time and money.

Suspect maybe, suspect as in probably someone who tries to sell some shit to get fame or money....not the way you'd like it to be suspect. At least not to me.

ok then. i fail so far to see why the argument, though highly debatable, is so easily refutible...but ok

Well, I don't see what argument you have.

Lets assume all you say is right.

What should who do and why and how?

asperin is a drug which is used to alieve, and not cure. if you were able to take a few asprin and cure your head forever of pain, i doubt bayer would have done so well. there is no continual flow of money. unless there is a vaccine, but who needs a vaccine if the cure is hypothetically in a pill?

Lots of people with Cancer. Lots of people that would like to be cured. Lots of cancer going to keep coming up anyways. Anyways, fast money for now, who cares for tomorrow.

Also, stop adding to your posts. You are like DrewB

I guess. But it seems like anti-capitalist and anti-corporations and anti-media bias for sure. Which, is not bad as such, just when it is the purpose and not the conclusion it gets annoying.
