Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 The drug that has saved my life, Herceptin, is a drug which was funded by Revlon initially. If it were not for this funding and the creation of this drug - I would have been dead about 3 months ago. They are starting to do a lot of good with the money, especially in regards to targeted treatments. Best wishes Fern From: detwa_3017 Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2010 I hate those stupid telethons.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm not crazy about the telethon format either, BUT, a cure for cancer can only come through basic science and clinical research, which needs a lot of money.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Let's look at the word " BUT " and ask what is that saying? I'm an old codger and have been watching 'Medical fakery' going on for the past 60+ years. Of that Cancer is the 'New Kid On The Street' in this game. The concerted War On Cancer is now almost 40 years old. During those 40 years, BILLIONS of dollars have been collected and a goodly portion of that spent........a lot of it spent on social activities, but nevertheless, one heck of a lot of money. It is simply too broad a statement to state that " a cure " , assuming that is even a possibility, can come through " basic science and clinical research " which might have a bit of validity if they 'wanted' to actually accomplish a 'cure'. What around us tells us that people want to end problems? The War on Drugs which is growing not diminishing? The recipients of these billions of dollars do not want to kill the 'cash cow'. To be sure there are individuals that must be earnestly striving for this event, however, past experiences have taught us that the 'system' crushes anything that does not speak to big dollars for the coffers of Big Pharma. We constantly hear the following...... " there is little incentive to explore cheap, non-profitable treatments for cancer " and I suspect the same applies to any other illness of the body where hundreds of millions of dollars are made treating annually. Is there anyone that actually believes The American Cancer Society actually wants to close its doors? Writing as I am doing can quickly lead one to say........Ah ha, just another kook talking. Perhaps, but the facts speak for themselves. Over the years much of the so-called advances in Cancer Treatment have come from 'Statistical Manipulation' For ages, the 'System' used the Five Year Survival Rate so that if one lived beyond the five years, it was considered a cure even if a person died one day after that. The second event was considered a new cancer. Now, with very specialized diagnostic tools, cancers can be found years earlier. The trick used here is to add those 'early years on to the expected survival and viola, people are now living longer. No, they have simply had a couple of more years of early detection onto what they already knew the patient would live and, for example, if one had a five year survival expectancy, they now had seven or eight. No change at all. Have there been advances? Of course and in many cases one can say, 'they are killing less because of the drugs now used vs older drugs. In some cases there is probably the reverse going on. Most of the advances have come in those very special cancers that are less common. Another area of improvement is in surgery and better techniques to minimize 'Seeding', the spreading of cancer cells because of invasive practices. It is now recognized that many of the cases of secondary bladder tumors come from the original removal of the first tumor. Thanks a lot. We have to jump in from time to time so that people do not fall for the Cancer Industry's hype because there is enough evidence for us to examine to realize what is going on is not doing the job. Basic science? Only if they are truly interested in bringing about 'real' answers and not simply money-making answers. It's always the money. Go Google The Australian Oncologist's Report on Chemotherapy because they flat out stated, " We have to do something different because this isn't working " . Exactly how much do you think is being spent on Curcumin, NAC, Asparagus, Broccoli compared to the popular and expensive drugs? If you do serious research you'll find most such studies are foreign (non-Western) and, as in the case of The Australian Study, non-existent in American circles. Telethons? A great money maker but little of it goes where it should. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm not fond of telethons, either. Often they seem to consist of a lot of self-promotion for celebrities. And we've had plenty of that with celebrity reality shows. But they do raise awareness.  The cures for cancer will come from clinical research. But who knows--there may be a miraculous drug in the rainforests that will supercharge the immune system to fight off all cancers. It would have to be a drug like this as cancer consists of 200 different diseases; different cells requiring different treatments.

A book, " Dr. 's Monkey, " is available on Amazon... describes the development of the Salk polio vaccine during the 50/60's... and how the polio vaccine was made from monkey kidneys and carried the cancer producing " SV-40 " virus which remains dormant today inside baby boomers who received the polio vaccine. When the immune system is weakened, the SV-40 Virus can transform into one of the major cancers: lung, breast, soft tissue, bone cancer, etc. In the early 50's, 22,000 new cases of polio was called an epidemic, and author Ed Haslam asked how come around a million new cases of cancer each year is NOT being called a cancer epidemic? Main stream media had a chance to share this with us in 2000 when 60 Minutes spent more time and money on this story than any other segment of the TV Magazine's history according to their producer, but the networks would not permit the program to air. Do you want to know why? Read DR MARY's Monkey. This is very alarming. It is essentially telling us that those of us, almost EVERY BABY BOOMER, who took the Salk vaccine in the 60's.. has circulating inside our bodies remnants of the cancer producing monkey virus that was in the infected kidneys used to cultivate the Salk vaccine. Almost everybody in the country is susceptible to contracting cancer from this! The only help is to STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM! Read " Dr. 's Monkey. " She was the chemist who performed the chemistry that produced the vaccine... she wanted to tell... she was murdered. Marji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Since I go 'way back' to when I was 10 and at that time introduced to the whacky world of 'Natural Healing' back in the 40s, being aware of Salk and the " Monkey Pus " it was called by we kooks, (affectionately said) I am shocked I have never heard this connection before. Then again, how can any of us know it all? By the same token it seems we need to do more research and discover exactly what this Dr. is all about because one obscure book does not make a fact. Facts make facts but it apparently tries to make a case. How do we verify what 60 Minutes was or wasn't going to show without solid evidence? Other than more ammunition, for our purposes, what will it do to help us overcome our cancers and prevent others except that information supports our contention 'They' are killing us and have been for decade after decade for almost the 70+ years I exist. thank you Marjij for giving me something to snoop about.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 The simian virus 40 (SV 40) is linked to lymphomas... karla Millions of people worldwide were inadvertently exposed to live simian virus 40 (SV40) between 1955 and 1963 through immunization with SV40-contaminated polio vaccines. Although the prevalence of SV40 infections in humans is not known, numerous studies suggest that SV40 is a pathogen resident in the human population today. SV40 is a potent DNA tumor virus that is known to induce primary brain cancers, bone cancers, mesotheliomas, and lymphomas in laboratory animals. SV40 oncogenesis is mediated by the viral large tumor antigen (T-ag), which inactivates the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb. During the last decade, independent studies using different molecular biology techniques have shown the presence of SV40 DNA, T-ag, or other viral markers in primary human brain and bone cancers and malignant mesotheliomas. Evidence suggests that there may be geographic differences in the frequency of these virus-positive tumors. Recent large independent controlled studies have shown that SV40 T-ag DNA is significantly associated with human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In our study, we analyzed systemic NHL from 76 HIV-1-positive and 78 HIV-1-negative patients, and nonmalignant lymphoid samples from 79 HIV-1-positive and 107 HIV-1-negative patients without tumors; 54 colon and breast carcinoma samples served as cancer controls. We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by Southern blot hybridization and DNA sequence analysis to detect DNAs of polyomaviruses and herpesviruses. SV40-specific DNA sequences were detected in 64 (42%) of 154 NHL, none of 186 nonmalignant lymphoid samples, and none of 54 control cancers. For NHL from HIV-1-positive patients, 33% contained SV40 DNA and 39% Epstein Barr virus (EBV) DNA, whereas NHLs from HIV-1-negative patients were 50% positive for SV40 and 15% positive for EBV. Few tumors were positive for both SV40 and EBV. Human herpesvirus type 8 was not detected. SV40 sequences were found most frequently in diffuse large B cell and follicular-type lymphomas. We conclude that SV40 is significantly associated with some types of NHL and that lymphomas should be added to the types of human cancers associated with SV40.
