Have they really done it, or is this some cruel joke?
It sounds too true. I really hope they have done it,
but it appalls me (at the same time, doesn't) that
the big companies don't give a rip.

Health care will always BS people into buying stuff that doesn't really work, ask a professional with a degree about all that and he might say otherwise. Or I could be completely wrong, you never know :noid

I was wary at first, too. But it seems to have merit.

I hope and pray they do come up with a cure for cancer,as both my daughters have breast cancer.One not so bad,the other isn't so good.I have had one of my children die before me,and I really don't want to see another one go.

:frown: sorry to hear that ID. I had cancer when i was very young, lost my grandfather to cancer, and my mother had breast cancer about 8 years ago. cancer is an evil, awful thing.

Tell me most of you are at least semi intelligent and read the comments section below the article...please...
This is akin to Glenn Beck stating facts.....

Two years ago last October my wife had breast cancer. It was a tough 2 years but she is cancer free as of her last check up. I'll bee praying for both of your daughters.

the cynical side of me says they did not cure it. there is no money in curing anything. there is boatloads of money in treating everything though.

I am always suspicious when they start or sound like the big medical industry don't want you to know this. If anything really cured a disease it wouldn't go unnoticed if it's true. you talking about millions of people in the medical profession and journalists having a conspiracy to deny some care. doctors and doctor's family also get cancer, they wouldn't keep it from them or their families.
if anybody ever finds the cure for cancer, can you imagine the money they will make. how much would you be willing to pay to get rid of it. the company/individual that discovers it would make billions and billions of dollars.

Oh my ... my little sister posted this on her facebook and it took all the restraint I had to not go off on her. I love how people blindly post links to stuff without even doing some basic research.
Without even arguing the accuracy of the science in the article, simply looking at the first few comments on this article proves it's bogus.
First of all, the first comment was posted four years ago! Surely there would have been further news about this amazing discovery since then! Six weeks ago someone mentioned that this article in its un-sourced form means nothing! And six days ago someone found it again and posted it on Facebook. And here it is now. "Social Networking" at its best right here.
Use your brains, sheeple! Sheesh

The majority of cancers already are pretty much cureable. No one thanks the "big evil pharmaceutical companies" for that. There will never be a single cure for cancer, all cancers are not the same. Some may just never be treatable, to any worthwhile.
Like AIDs, cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence. Let's all kiss some big pharmaceutical butt for that, instead of preaching how evil they are.

Cancer still shares a thing in common. Exactly what is mentioned in the articles.
There are species on the planet that do not get cancer, but not many amongst higher life-forms.
One example though, - Shark!

If all cancer was the same, it would all be equally treatable. As of today, most cancers are very treatable. Some however, lung cancer for example, are very hard to treat. Yes all cancers share similarities, but so do all bacterial infections.

Is that to say that MRSA and say your run-of-the-mill Impetigo are essentially the same?

as always, the source material is a whole lot more level headed.

I'm not a doctor. All I was saying is, cancer is not a single disease, and will not be treated as a single disease. Therefore, we're not going to see some miracle drug that prevents/cures every single form of cancer. Read the material for the detailed explanation

I read it; I also read your generalization. I was just making sure.

I disagree. I too am not a medical doctor but once a cure is found I personally believe that it will be a matter of taking a pill or getting a shot (maybe a series of treatments) and it really will be as simple as that. It's just a matter of finding the right stuff the kill the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.

Read up a little on what cancer actually is (and all the different types of it). I once again repeat, cancer is not one single disease. Do you think they're going to magically synthesize some chemical that will cure every form of cancer at once? That would be great, maybe one pill can also be magically created to cure every single form of bacterial infection too

any and every cell can be a cancer cell. cancer is simply the mutation of the cells that make up your body. this is caused by poor diet, no exercise, smoking, drinking, intake of various contaminates, and God knows what else, and increases exponentially with age. EVERYONE has all the ingredients for cancer already in them, all it takes is one little tiny cell to mutate and spread through the blood and lymph nodes. a shot or a pill isn't going to be the answer for one and all. there will be no "it's as simple as that" because there are so many variables. until we can figure out how to completely control every cell in the human body, cancer isn't going anywhere.

Two things I think everyone can and will agree on here in this thread:
1) Everything can potnetialy cause cancer. Cancer comes in many forms and in many variations. For most of us it is not a matter of if and what, but simply when, and the best cure is to be proactive about it with your means of healthcare.
2) Modern medicine is a wonderful thing and a constantly advancing and evolving practice. Some procedures and medicines are close to perfected, others are well on track to someday being.

Since cancer is a cell just going bonkers, the cure can be just as simple.
All we have to do is make a map of what every cell has to be like preferably down to the atomic level,
feed it into the transporter (right out of star trek)
..and beam across to the other pad.. hence re-mapping every single cell at the atomic level.
