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.
keep in mind that an editorial article does not discredit the study.
i want to know why there is absolutely nothing in the mainstream media about this? not so much as a breif frikin page 6 article.
thats what i cant get over.
:edit: maybe my mind would ease if sense was made of this.

With that I agree actually. I guess it isn't seen as likely...or...the media is shit.

I got nothing else.
I am so excited at the prospect of this drug even though I have never known anyone afflicted with cancer. Thinking about though, imagine they do cure cancer, then all the funding can go into curing things like AIDS and other terminal illnesses, and eventually relative immortality will be ours, until old age catches you or some accident involving pianos.
Although imagine the overcrowding of the planet if that was to happen. shock
I'm just rambling now, I'm sorry to anyone who read that. It's just all such an amazing interconnected chain. hmm

Err, the entire bloody point of my post is that the fact that salicylic acid was naturally occuring never stopped people making HUGE amounts of money from it, so the entire thrust of your argument was incorrect.
Couple of minor changes, and you have yourself a brand. Salicylic-acid based painkillers are all patented variations (no-one actually uses the stuff 'neat', as it were) and very profitable ones too. It's easy and it happens all the time.
"now, how would they patent apples?"
They'd grow their own variety. Plenty of protected elements in the apples industry. You always pay above the mark for brand-name apples even though you are perfectly free to grow your own. naturally occuring means bugger all difference as far as profits are concerned.
Big business is not stopping this happening. That's a fantasy. Like I say, big business would make a fortune out fo this and demolish their rivals in one swoop. They would do it. The fact they haven't says something about this really being a miracle cure.

not trusting the intentions of big buisness doesn't mean that those people who doubt the virtues of an indesputably corrupt pharmicutical industry are wacky conspiracy theorists. Attempting to paint them as such is silly.
Not trusting big companies for silly conspiracy (or worse, socialist) ideas is silly as well though.
Also, what has it to do with trust? If you trust a big company to support something that has absolutely no advantage to them then that's your fault. They have no obligation to do that. And shouldn't.

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?

you missed the point about the application s of asprin and the application of a cure-drug. an asperin cures a headache, but you'll get many more.
and as for the "miracle cure" ffs i never said it was. even in the thread title i clearly specify this. i just want to know why the only ones to touch a legitimate study which could possibly be revolutionary was newsweek? go on. google it. prove me wrong. when our media would forsake ratings to pretend something doesnt exist, im concerned. for you its perfectly acceptable. i find that to be an overly trusting and obtuse outlook, but fine. dont try to make me out to be a david iche cult follower though.
