There was a doctor who had came up for a cure for cancer and had successfully tested it on patients but he was shut down by the FDA. The FDA even admitted his cure was successful.

The drug cancer industry makes a lot of money with the drug treatments and many fear a cure for cancer because they will lose a lot of money. So when they found out they used the FDA to shut down the doctor. The industry is built around providing many drugs but not cures because its more profitable for them. The FDA gets more money from the industry as bribes and the industry protects profits.

Do you believe there is a cure for cancer but its prevented by the drug cancer industry and the FDA.

It would be of greater interest to me if the sources were reputable journals not Natural magazines...

Certainly there are businesses that make money off of cancer and many that hide the fact that they are selling cancer causing agents (sometimes even as healthy additions to our lives).

But I have a hard time taking nautral hyteria magazines seriously. They are the ones threatened by a cure.

[flashy_mcflash]

Yeah there's just a little too much crackpottery on Naturalnews for me to take any of it seriously. When it ends up in a major paper or a medical journal, I'll take another look.

Also, there will never be one catch-all cure for 'cancer'. There are so many different kinds of cancer with wildly disparate treatments and effects that anyone who says they found a cure for all cancers is probably a total fraud.

There is no convincing evidence from randomized controlled trials in the scientific literature that antineoplastons are useful treatments of cancer, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these products for the treatment of any disease.[1] The American Cancer Society has stated since 1983 that there is no evidence that antineoplastons have any beneficial effects in cancer and recommended that people do not buy these products since there could be serious health consequences to patients who use this therapy.[2][3] A 2004 medical review described antioneoplaston treatment as a "disproven therapy".[4] Three prominent oncologists described Burzynski's research on antineoplastons as being “so flawed that it cannot be determined whether it really works". One of them characterized the research as "scientific nonsense"[5]. Furthermore, independent scientists have been unable to reproduce the positive results reported in Burzynski's studies.[6]

But is it really hard to believe that the drug cancer industry would do what it takes to prevent cures for cancer since they would lose a lot of money. They will bribe the FDA to shut down any threat.

Stop turning this political.

If this is about that Burzincski character then he is a fraud. Not only does he manipulate people into paying thousands for his "cure", no one has been able to replicate his research AND.. it's just urine

What is "the drug cancer industry?" Some parts may loose $ if there is a cure...but not all. And do not forget the researchers, they are people too. Many of whom have been impacted by the pain cause by cancer. But what is this industry - spoken of as if it is one big bad thing? It is international and of many parts.

How does a genetics prof at the U of A publishing in professional journals get shut down by the FDA?

And who is doing all of this terrible bribing? Is there real evidence of this?

Or just those that make money selling natural products generating hysteria to drum up business for themselves?

Fun thought game, but Cancer costs our government a hell of a lot more than any drug company could pay in a bribe. Maybe they can get a few people to be quiet about it, but obviously this information is easily accessible to anyone who wants to see it, so if there was any merit to it, it would have been picked up by others.

The fact is that the only thing that Burzynski has been able to consistently do is take 10's of thousands of dollars from desperate people and their families.

I wish there was greater legal accountability with the "natural remedies."

Natural products should have proof of effectiveness and side effects. They should also have to prove consistency regarding quality and amount/ratio of ingredients. But that would cost them $$$. Natural promoters like to critique the drug industry but they sure do not like fingers pointed at them. What testing do they do? They rely on testimonials not testing.

Certainly there are natural products tested at universities - thank goodness. But the natural product industry itself is dreadful and irresponsible.

I’ve never understood these theories people have that the FDA and government are covering up cures for cancer. The FDA stopped research on this because there was absolutely no evidence to suggest it actually worked, and that this treatment could potentially be dangerous. Of course, the tinfoil-hatters misconstrue this to mean the FDA is shutting down research because of pressure from pharmaceutical companies, bribes and such.

The government and the FDA’s top concern would be to push out a cure for cancer if it were discovered. Sure, some companies would go under if their primary income is obtained treating cancer patients, but eliminating the massive burden cancer has on the health care system would be a top priority for the government. No amount of bribery money from all the pharmaceutical companies combined would equate to the amount of money they would save in the healthcare system.

Even from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical companies, sure they can make a lot of money from a patient in their final years or months on earth. However, if you cure this person of cancer and give them another 10 or 20 or 30 years, they have yet another person to sell other medications for other diseases. You can make $100,000 from them to treat their cancer, or $200,000 from the medication they need into their old age for other diseases. It’s almost unfathomable that a cure would consist of a single pill or injection, but would likely be a medication or injection that the person would have to take indefinitely; they could charge up the yin yang for that as well.

You seem to forget that the pharmaceutical industry that sells current anti-cancer drugs is the same industry that would manufacture and sell the cure. They will make money either way. And cancer is so common that even if there is a cure, and even if it was some magical one-shut cure (unlikely), it will still be a widely sold drug for decades to come. I doubt Phizer and co. is quaking in their boots about someone finding a cure for cancer. They're a lot more worried about their patents on other existing money-making drugs expiring, like Lipitor.

Well said Brunes.

Even if the treatment is a single pill, I believe the pharmaceutical company could charge whatever they want for it. I believe there are around 10 million people with cancer at any given time. Even if they charged $10,000 for a single pill (I bet it would be way more) they have just immediately made 100 BILLION dollars in one day. Considering the amount of new cancer diagnoses each year, they would be making huge coin consistently. Hell, now that people know cancer is curable, people will be drinking and smoking their faces off. Hell, I would buy a suit made from asbesdos just because I can! Cancer rates might go up when people know it's curable.

Doctor: "I'm sorry sir, you have cancer..."
Me: "Awww crap.. I was going to buy a new car.. Oh well I can put it off for a year. Gimme the cure doc, I think you still have my VISA in your system?"
