1:31 I think that’s a bit of a exaggeration. treatment and medicine for cancer is a lot better than it used to be. For most of human history up until 30 years ago almost any kind of cancer was pretty much a death sentence and you were dead within 6 months to a year. Today There’s a lot of cancers if you catch early enough you can live beyond 5 years to 10 years like prostrate, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, thyroid, throat cancer. Robert De Niro, micheal c hall, Elton John, Ronnie Wood and Ben stiller and many more people who we all know have had cancer beat it. If they had gotten it a couple decades ago they would of been dead in a year. Obviously we still have a long way to go in terms of treating and curing cancer and doctors need to get better at treating it because a lot of people do die from cancer still but it is better than it used to be. I do agree we haven’t made really any progress at treating really aggressive cancers like brain, liver or pancreatic cancer. Those cancers are basically a death sentence. But hopefully that won’t be the case soon.

This is so stupid, they are going through all these hoops to create this amazing science, when we’ve been able to cure cancer with massive doses of vitamin C. We have known this for decades, but have chosen to bury it in favor of bilking cancer patients of billions with chemo treatments

My father died in 2017 with metastatic peritoneal cancer , i get scared when i remember those last 8 months of his life.

First and foremost, I am so sorry for your loss.
There were studies done in the 1970’s
where massive iv doses of vitamin c were given to terminally ill patients, some who had advanced cancers, to see if vitamin c could kill. The patients families were paid money in the event the study succeeded to find the terminal dose.
If you google vitamin c and cancer, you get many official medical sites saying the study was flawed.
What they don’t tell you is that it cured 74% of the cancer patients, and concluded the study, saying there is no terminal dose of vitamin c. The most common side effect being moderate to severe diarrhea.
Mass dosing vitamin c costs a few hundred dollars, and the average cost for chemo and surgery is 1 million or more.

Nanoparticles? How about using mesenchymal stem cells to transport viruses attacking cancer stem cells instead of using nanoparticles? What are the benefits of nanoparticles? I mean MSC’s can even locate cancer cells by their surface markers.

GCMAF is a cure for cancer by everything I have read. Where is science with this discovery? At least in the UK and France it is being suppressed by laws and regulatory agencies because chemotherapy makes too much money to go away to natural alternatives. Wake me up when cancer scientists get on this and force the world to become aware of it. Wake me up when that happens. Till then, I remain sceptical as to the genuine things science cares about, because it sure seems like money is the priority, not health.

Prevention is better than cure, it is about time the “food”-industry is exposed to their cancer fueling processed products that cause cancer. Besides chemo therapy, energy healing and other thousands-of-years-old practices are to be promoted once again.

“How X COULD treat cancer” is the name of countless TED talks over the years, almost none of which have actually provided any real breakthrough or benefit to any actual cancer patients. This industry is rife with ideas, but barren of anything other than “more surgery, more drugs that may not work” in implementation. I applaud the work being done, but am not at all optimistic that any of this will do anything for an actual cancer patient within the next 20 years.

I thought the same thing. I have heard about so many “breakthroughs” but nothing has happened yet. I don’t know if this is just a rumor, but why would the pharma industry even want a cure against cancer. They earn billions with existing drugs.

It really depends on the cancer. Breast cancer now has a 5 year survival rate of 90% and a 10 year survival rate at 83%. Glioblastoma has 5 year survival rate of effectively 0%
Cancer is a catch all term for several dozen major categories covering hundreds of different diseases with a literal infinite number of possible variants. There is more genetic diversity within the cancer cells of a single stage 4 cancer patient than there is in all the HIV viruses in the world.
Progress is being made, but this problem is so hard, we will be fighting this broad category of diseases for another century.
Pollen Applebee
November 8, 2019 at 12:41 pm
@TeaSipper Sure, all I said is that the “breakthrough” TED talks you see which promise new treatments for large numbers of patients have never panned out, or only helped a tiny fraction of a fraction, much less than implied by the talks.

There has already been a talk about using body’s own immune system to destroy cancer.
Grzegorz Szewczyk
November 8, 2019 at 8:57 pm
It’s slightly different situation, this is more about “fooling” immune system to stop it from attacking something which is recognized as foreign by default. Using own immune system to destroy cancer usually involves modified T-cells harvested from the patient or close relative (please check a documentary called “War in the blood” hopefully is still available on yt. Here we rather have some sort of “encapsulation” for anti-cancer drugs, to help them being delivered via demanding body “piping” into the hostile, immunosupresive tumor environment.

This method still doesn’t solve the main problem of current chemotherapy, which is the problem of cancer drugs destroying both healthy and cancer cells. Circulating the drugs in the body for a longer time also means they will cause more damage to healthy cells. Nanoparticles could be part of the solution, yes, if paired with some kind of a mechanism which directs them to the tumor and cancer cells.
