Thread: Do you see a problem here?

DreamViews supporting a video with Glenn Beck? *checks for apocalypse*

This does piss me off, if I contract cancer (probably from Diet Coke) I'm going to find DCA on my own.

It helps him guard against recognizing rhetorical exaggeration. Is that you, Bill?

It sounds like they basically just going to let someone else do the research for them. Once it goes through all the research the companies may start making it, since it would probably make them profit even if its 'generic'.

The real issue here, isn't that no one wants to pay for research. Its that government regulations are such a pain, that it keeps people from testing new drugs, and only allows billion dollar companies to do it.

If you fix the government regulation, so it doesn't cost a stupid amount of money to test, then maybe more people would be willing to pay up.

Yep that sounds like big pharma . Can't give up a bunch of profits to cure hundreds of thousands of people... nope... thats something Christ might do.

I don't think it's up to the pharmaceutical giants to fund this. Unless they have some sort of philanthropic wing, it's not their job to cure people, they're there to make $$$. I think it's up to the government, charities and universities to pick up the slack. These guys actually have a mandate to keep people healthy. Besides, I doubt many people would complain if their taxes went towards curing cancer, surely it's a better cause than war...

There is a simple solution. Keep yourself pure. Balanced diet of alkaline (not acid). Asparagus is a great anti cancer food. Drink plenty of pure water (not tap).

Forget about philanthropists stepping up to the plate for you. Step up to the plate and take responsibility for your own life and well being.

That's simple alright, but it's not a solution. Asparagus and filtered water will not prevent, treat, or cure cancer. Sorry. On a more positive note, asparagus is a completely delicious food which people should eat anyway... I recommend it roasted with some light olive oil and a bit of garlic salt

I think he was suggesting that it was one way to help prevent cancer. Obviously if most people were adopting lifestyle changes that would drastically lower the cancer rates among the population, then their would be less incentive to withhold a cure.

Last year, researchers in Nanjing, China reported the presence of a compound called Asparanin A from standard asparagus. It is "an active cytotoxic component," they said. Asparanin A arrests cell growth and also induces apoptosis (the most common form of programmed cell deaths) in human liver cancer cells. Asparanin A "shows promise as a preventive and/or therapeutic agent" against human liver cancer (Liu 2009).

I am aware of the health benefits of various fruits and vegetables as they relate to cancer and other chronic diseases. The fact remains that asparagus is not "a simple solution," it will not "prevent cancer," and to suggest otherwise is more than just a gross oversimplification, it's an outright lie. I can confidently assure you that plenty of people who eat asparagus develop cancer.

Yes, it is true, I did over simplify it. There is much more to it, I was merely giving a suggestion on a few ways to prevent it. True prevention of any illness or disease exists within the mind. How you think determines what manifests within your body.

Yea its true but I think humans knew that back when Woodrow Wilson sold out America to a private central bank hellbent on destroying society to make way for their own society.
