The Cure for Cancer Has Been Found and is Purposely Being Ignored - Technorati Lifestyle



This is what I am repeatedly quoting for the last several years.


If a true researcher do his research on health he will cure Cancer.


If he go behind money he will loose his concentration and will not hesitate to hide the truth.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the headline myself: a simple cure has been found to treat cancer!
As unbelievable as that is, the more shocking news is that the treatment is not being mass-produced or even taken note of by the medical or news communities.
Horrifying, isn't it?
I'm even more devastated by this, because someone I know actually died yesterday after a battle with breast cancer for a few years. She was a wife and a mother leaving behind three young boys.
The cure was discovered by scientists at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. The cure uses a dichloroacetate, a simple drug used to treat metabolic disorders. Because it's so simple, it had no side effects and also requires no patent. Therefore, it is relatively cheap (at least in comparison to current cancer treatments) and will actually cure cancer rather than warding it off.
Also because of the fact that it can't be patented, it's hard to make a large profit off of it. Due to this, pharmaceutical companies won't touch it, because it doesn't help their pockets.This is why this discovery isn't being celebrated and making front-page headlines.
The hope is that independent companies can perfect this cure and manufacture it for the patients that desperately need it. It will be difficult going against a a major lobbyist business interest such as the pharmaceutical industry who have their hands deep in politicians' pockets, but the more the public becomes aware of this great discovery, the less can be done against it.
So, spread the word, so this cure won't go the way of the apricot seeds cancer treatment or AIDS treatment. You also may want to rethink your position on Obamacare as pharmaceutical companies were one of the major proponents of the bill. It's sad that America is basically coming down to the people vs. major corporations as evidenced by this, Wall Street bailouts, GE getting to skip out on taxes, and so much more, while each tries to get crooked politicians to further their will.
America is at a crossroads and these next few months and years with business and government blurring lines and personal issues such as each citizen's health becoming public with Obamacare, will define which way we go.
Other treatment information of note:

please dont believe in all these rumours. if there is a drug found, everyone will know about it.

there are literally millions of conspiracy theories abound, including the one, that we are really ruled by aliens from another planet :)

INSIDE STORY
Docs in US prescribe radiation therapy for profits

Report: Doctors With Financial Interest In Treatment More Likely To Ignore Cheap Alternative Ways

Robert Pear

Washington: Doctors who have a financial interest in radiation treatment centres are more likely to prescribe such treatments for patients with prostate cancer,Congressional investigators say in a new report.
The investigators,from the Government Accountability Office,said that Medicare beneficiaries were often unaware that their doctors stood to profit from the use of radiation therapy.Alternative treatments may be equally effective and are less expensive for Medicare and for beneficiaries,the report said.
In other recent studies,the auditors found a similar pattern when doctors owned laboratories and imaging centers that billed Medicare for CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging.
The latest study focused on a common and costly treatment for prostate cancer known as intensity-modulated radiation therapy,which directs highly concentrated beams of radiation at cancerous tumors.In many cases,it said,doctors who recommend the treatment have financial relationships with those who provide it.
For example,a group of urologists may own radiation therapy equipment that is used by other doctors in the same medical group to treat patients.
James C Cosgrove,a director of the health care team at the Government Accountability Office,said that financial incentives appeared to be contributing to the higher use of this type of radiation therapy for patients with prostate cancer,one of the most common cancers in men.
Urologists referred a substantially higher percentage of their prostate cancer patients to radiation therapy when the doctors owned the equipment linear accelerators or had financial ties to those who provided the treatment,the report said.
The report comes as Congress is looking for ways to save money in Medicare and to make fundamental changes in the formula used to calculate payments to doctors treating Medicare patients.
When you look at the numbers in this report,you start to wonder where health care stops and profiteering begins, said Senator Max Baucus,a Montana Democrat who is the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.We have a law on the books designed to prevent these conflicts of interest,but an increasing number of physicians are skirting the law for personal gain.
Representative Sander M Levin of Michigan,the senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee,said that this analysis confirms that financial incentives,not patients needs,are driving some referral patterns.
The investigators said Medicare had no easy way to know when doctors referred patients to entities in which the doctors had financial interests.
Doctors should be required to note such relationships on the claims they file with Medicare,the report said.
The Obama administration disagreed with this recommendation.Such a requirement,it said,would be complex to administer and may have unintended consequences. NYT NEWS SERVICE

ramacc,

i think you are talking two different things. atleast i see it this way.

no cures for cancer has been found, and suppressed by the money bags.

re u.s. health industry - i think it is the biggest ripoff in the whole world. it is the only 'developed' country, where medicine and health is treated as business, and not as entitled public care. add to it, there is this big money making business in which medical organizations and companies are in cohorts.

it is sad to see many many middle class americans going bankrupt because they are unable to pay their medical bills. obama's mother was one who could not afford cancer care due to her.

here are a couple of articles in the new yorker by atul gawande. great reading. great insight. shocking. sad.

There are ethical doctors (it is not Oxymoron) who do great work, without seeing the money aspect of it. Most of the teaching hospitals, the doctors do great work because they are dedicated to their profession. I also know of doctors who do it for money. Let us not paint all doctors with a wide stroke.
The system is crooked, as hospitals (mostly for profit) care about the bottom line alone, so their ethics is not to the doctor's oath. The doctors in these hospital may not be making that much more money either. The insurance company and health care providers make most of the money (at least in USA).
 
Even so called non-profit hospitals try to wring out the maximum. There are a couple of recent exposes on the subject.

The problem is that the hospital may be non-profit but their administrators and doctors are not. Just like the CEO of the Red Cross is paid $500K per year.

You are right, I should say teaching hospital and Government hospitals are different than for profit and non-profit (joke) hospitals.
