I read a news article on yahoo talking about a cheap, non-patentable medicine that already exists and kills tumors in mice. There's been no human trials. In fact big pharma isn't intersted in manufacturing it or testing it further because it's "too cheap".
Looks like India and China have an opening. I just wonder what lies will be generated in order to keep it off the market here where cancer is HUGE business.

Re: Cancer Cure -- too cheap, no interest
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 4:32 PMThe link I posted apparently goes to a membership only site for scientific research.
Here's a link to a news story on You Tube:

Re: Cancer Cure -- too cheap, no interest
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 8:49 PMIf this pans out it'll be THE medical achievement of a thousand years, I think! And I'm very interested, and I hope this is the good news the world needs to hear. But let's be cautious, because, you know, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. The news guy in that YouTube video sounded pretty pop-eyed/band-wagony to me--I thought the researcher he was interviewing was a good counterbalance. I'm definitely for following this lead straight through to whatever information it yields. And yes--not only will big pharma not further the research, you just *know* what their lapdog the FDA will do if the research leads to manufacture and use of the drug. Available in the US? Not on your life.
