A cure for cancer can never happen (will never happen) because-

cancer employs hundreds of thousands of highly paid professionals who are not likely give up their livelihood. Perhaps a cure has been found, and has been carefully swept under the rug! Over half a Billion dollars has been raised in Canada by the Terry Fox run since 1981, and that is just a small part of the fund-raising! Imagine the thousands of cancer doctors, researchers, scientists, and fundraisers who depend on cancer funding.Millions of dollars are spent annually on hospital facilities and cancer research and equipment. This is a Huge business that won't go away if cure is found.What would these well fed professionals do when there is no longer a need for cancer research and fundraisers? Don't let anyone fool you - these people are not going to allow a cancer cure to be found!They have families to feed, and lives to live, just the same as you and I!

hi barehugs I really don't think its that bad as what about scientists who have discovered a lot of the things that cause cancer, and why'on
earth do we not heed these warnings as we could avoid carcinogens
and keep from getting cancer. we do have some ways to fight against
getting it by being informed and proactive too. Maybe some medical
people feel like they do not want a cure but I know a lot of doctors who have seen it in their own families and do want to find a cure.
I never blame a whole medical profession for what some do, and i do
hope we will find a cure but until then we should all work on
avoiding what we know are cancer causing things.These people could
work on manufacturing the cure and still be able to feed
their families.
their families.2 people like this

You may very well be correct on this one. I would hope not. However if doctors helped us get rid of diabetes, high blood pressure, HIV and other terrible things we may experience they wouldn't have a job would they?

oh macdingolinger hope you are wrong on diabetes as the American Diabetes Association is really working hard on finding cures so maybe theres hope yet. You know when you come right down to it like my own doctor says that diabetes is the best choice among diseases as you c an control it and live a happy productive life. also as we work to eat right and lose weight and control our blood sugar in a lot of ways we can be healthier than the average person. a good diabetic he calls me. lol

@Hatley - I am glad you are able to manage diabetes. i only used it as an example as one that if they really could cure it (and I know researchers are working on it) then the dr wouldn't make as much money.
@barehugs - I hear you and I agree that to prevent the disease is best if that is possible. IT may not be possible if it's in the genetic makeup though.. but eating right from a young age and staying active for a lifetime certainly will help with the prevention of many diseases!

I've been saying things like this for years and I get blank looks, never any positive feedback.
For as long as I can remember, back to when I was quite young, I can recall requests for donations towards cancer research. I'm 58 now. Sure they have made some inroads but like you say...that's a lot of money...world wide. Who is controlling these funds? it's my bet it is the research divisions of the major pharmaceutical companies...or their affiliates. Nuff said.

Hi barehugs, It is quite possible that you are right, yet I hate to think that everyone involved in the research would hide a cure if they knew about it. There are many other challenges that such people can turn to if a cure for cancer was found. I think the real answer lies in prevention. There should be more study put into the best foods to eat and what not to eat to stay cancer-free. More than forty years ago I read that eating two or three almonds every day would prevent cancer. I had nothing to lose so I've been following that advice ever since.I've never had any symptoms of cancer but I've no idea if has anything to do with the almonds. I've come to enjoy the almond though. Blessings.

I agree with you. Unfortunately our whole approach toward medicine is business, money, based. I think it is or was the Chinese that only pay their Doctor as long as they are well, this may be an old wive's tale, but it sounds good to me.

Great Idea!
The beauty of Chinese Medicine is that it encompasses a total life style.
In China over a hundred years ago one only paid the doctor when he was well; if you got sick you didn't pay because the doctor had not done his job which was to keep you healthy. The doctor then treated you for free until you were well again. One would see the doctor on a regular basis for acupuncture, herbs, diet and lifestyle guidance. This was the ultimate model for preventative medicine ~ I wonder how it would work today?

Hi barebugs,
That cancer is curable was a news long back and people suffering from cancer did survive as well. But the whole episode of treatment has not been brought to light. Like you said they wont wish that the patients are cured and their profession suffered.
Thisis against the ethics and humanity I feel.

yup."no money to be made in a cure"..
actually,they probably already have one.it's just reserved to the wealthy or influential.
i think the only way they'd cure it is at the deference of something even worse..like 'super aids'.

Dear friend,
Justice, values of life, humanity and value for relationships are vanishing. Doctors are doing their business, lawyers are doing their business, schools and educations are doing their business, teachers do their business, policemen do their business, I hope the world is full of business, except to those who give value to life and humanity. May be we have teach those human values from family and school level itself.

I hope and pray what you are saying is not true, imagine all of us being suckered to believe the disease is incurable when it fact all we are hoping and working for are being swept under the rug
because of a greedy few,hope they did not sacrifice all those children and all the people we know, I lost 3 of my favorite aunts from cancer, including the one who raised me up cause my parents were too busy working, another one of those conspiracy theories that seem to have no answer

You may very well be correct. There is corruption and greed in nearly everything. Of course I'm sure they could make just as much money selling the cure for an astronomical price.

The cancer cure is sold already for a very high price. Cancer treatments are very costly and there is no money back when they don't work! For instance, 49 percent, or about half, of people diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer live for at least five years after diagnosis. The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other areas of the body is 3 percent.

I Read about this guy that was about to die in cancer when hes family suddenly wanted to try 20.000 Mg vitamin c as injection each day.
And so he was cured.
Also heard that sugar is bad for cancer.

Cancer and vitamin c? That sounds weird. Also heard rumours than vitamin c cures polio. 
Here is one funny article about vitamin c.
