Four years ago my mother died of malignant melanoma skin cancer, she was a farm lady in the sun a lot. A mole on her hairline practically exploded with this cancer. It had to be the most horrifying thing I had ever seen. She went through very drastic surgery, to no avail. She was literally eaten alive by this disease. I can only hope that this is at least a start to the cure for this type of cancer. My fingers are crossed, toes are crossed, you name it - they're crossed. Bless you all, and I hope and pray for your success.
k k......melanoma is easily cured using iodine and a few other things applied directly to the cancer. One of my friends perished needlessly from melanoma several years ago. I wish I could have put him in contact with Dr. Simoncini in time. He would still be grumping around just like always.
Hey Jee, put up or shut up. You appear to be one of those people that gets more pleasure out of bi---ing than becoming pro-active in fighting the system. Go back to your couch and shut the hell up. Talk is cheap.
Damn it, they were talking about this drug several years ago. The doctors all dismissed the desperate patients who begged for it, calling it a "quack cure." They would owe a lot of people an apology...but most of them are dead.
Cassandra.....the cancer industry does not want to see a cure that disturbs their multi-billion dollar a year cash-cow poison, burn and slash quackery. Anyone who comes up with a threat to their obscene income stream is derided mercilessly as a quack when, truth to tell, it is they who are the true incompetents.
Where is my new drug? I have recurrent Hodgkins lymphoma. It's supposed to be curable. Mine is playing "whack a mole" and it shows up every two years or so. My insurance company wouldn't pay for my follow up care during a clinic trial, so I was disqualified even though medically I was an ideal candidate. Now, there is no more chemo treatments left for me if the disease recurs again, I've had them all.
A rebulican Congressman just said that it is wrong that we are 47th in the world in health care. He said that we are first. Health care is only as good as a person's insurance. I think that perhaps he has good insurance. Health care is really bad if insurance companies turn you down or do not cover services.
There is a drug that treats pretty much any form of cancer successfully. It can be made from a common, easily grown plant, has been in use since prehistory and has no side-effects. This medicine cannot be patented by drug companies so they cannot make huge profits selling it to sick people and thus, it is illegal.
Go to Google Video and watch: "Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story".
ofcourse our smug congressmen and all of our lousy politicians have the best health care in the world and it is costing us tax payers a hell of a lot to have them blood sucking bastards and their worthless freeloading families are taken care of like royalty while we are at the mercy of insurance companies. that republican congressman obviously is showing his gross stupidity as all of our representatives do on a daily basis
good, they have a new cancer cure that really works - now to fix the f'ing prices on it so only the rich can really take advantage of it as usual - the doctors and insurance companies will make sure of that
Julie-spouse, I am so sorry. And it makes me even angrier at all the garbage we hear about national health care "death panels." As we all keep learning, the real death panels are run by insurance companies.
I am having radiation therapy and each treatment is $6,000. My insurance pays $3,500 of it. There will be five treatments. My savings will cover this, but it won't cover too many more expenses like this. This isn't the only money I have been out. After all I had surgery too. My sister cannot get health care if she retires because of a pre-existing condition. This scares me a lot. In California Blue Cross paid people bonuses to rescind policies. This doesn't scare you. Fine.
I wish you luck and strength...I have worked at a good job for over 25 years and now i am between no health insurance and medicare...i paid into cobra 4,000 for 18 months coverage...
I don't qualify for medicaid or any social net works...however, my doctor charges me half and i qualify throught pfizer for free medication for one year.....It is important that everyone looks into these programs..
Jennie......the genuine cures I have researched on the Internet would save you an enormous amount of money and also save your life. With the treatments available now, there is no excuse for dying of cancer or spending a lot of money on a cure.
It is sad that all the trials and years are wasted when something this important comes around. If it was me, I would take the drug in a second, after all you are not going to be around very long, who cares about side affects. If it works and one leg shrinks up, so what, your alive. Ah but the attorneys, I can see it now on the tv ad.
I am so sorry for those of you who are going through something like this. It is shameful that your health insurance companies won't pay for WHATEVER it takes, experimental or not! Whether you are a republican or democrat, the Michael Moore movie "Sicko" paints a pretty accurate picture of health care. The movie is not about not having insurance, how hard it is to get insurance, etc, but rather it is about those who have health insurance, and how poorly people are treated by their insurance companies.
Robin, (love that name), yes, you are entirely correct. Our health care system is far worse than those of other countries that spend less than half as much as we do and are far more successful at curing people. If I needed better health care at a more affordable price, I would move to Japan or Taiwan.
Colin, what country was this treatment developed in again? The US is by far the largest developer of medical innovations in the world. The only part of our system that is in need of correction are those that have had outside influences (goverment and insurance) thrown in to gum up the works.
The US developes some of the best drugs / treatments on the planet, but our local insurance giant's are out to make as much money as possible, even if it kills people.
People need to understand the fundamental nature of ~any~ insurance. You need to pay more then what they provide you, else they would lose money and not be solvent. For $10,000 worth of care you need to pay them $10,001 or more in order for them to make a profit. The only organization that can take on the "pay more out then you take in" is the US Government, because tax's are used to cover the expenses.
Betcha anything that the first thing these cancer survivors said was ....'praise the Lord God Almighty'....got down on their knees and prayed somemore. Thing is, the Almighty didn't have @!$%# to do with it. It's all in man's determination and reserarch that we begin to overcome and even eradicate disease. And what really pisses me off is the religious right fundamentalists who have so much sway in our government are trying their best to hold back the very necessary research i.e., stem cell etc., that has the potential to cure so many ills. NO they say! We are tampering with "God's Laws." What a horrible waste of effort to convince people that only God will make the final decision. YUK!
Mr. Mayer.....I was an honest atheist for fourteen years, so I am painfully aware of where you are coming from. And, you are partially correct. Many people, not just Christians, attribute their healing to the hand of God when He may have had nothing to do with it. Other times, however, He clearly has a lot to do with it.
Please allow me to share with you a burning example from my own life: On Mother's Day, 1997, my 86 year old mother died three times and was revived three times in the intensive care unit at Arlington Memorial Hospital. She had lived with congestive heart failure for 25 years, so her death was not entirely unexpected.
By the time I got there, she was sitting up in bed, doctors all around her. All her monitors indicated that she was instantly terminal. They wanted me to just allow her to die, but when I asked her if she would rather die than live on for a few weeks, she vigorously stated that she wanted to live.
This meant that I had no option other than to try to save her life, but I could think of no way to do that other than by prayer, so I left the hospital and went for a drive to pray in private. The only thing I could think of in that regard was a Bible verse I had memorized many years before, James 5:16. Therefore, I began to analyze the meaning of that verse and pray according to how I understood it. This went on for quite some time.
When I returned to the hospital, my mother was asleep, there was only one doctor and all her vital signs were normal according to the electronic monitors on the wall above her head. Even the doctors had to admit that could only have been a genuine miracle.
I had asked God on behalf of my mother for another year of life; so, exactly a year later on Mother's Day, 1998, she was back in the intensive care unit with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. This time I asked God for an indefinite period of time to make sure she was properly related to Him so she could go to heaven when she passed on. He gave her another six weeks, largely spent at home, during which time I became assured of her heavenly destination.
I am a Christian systematic theologian now, and a strong believer in HONEST science. Mr. Mayer, have you ever heard of an MIT trained Ph.D scientist by the name of Gerald L. Schroeder? He has written three books, the latest of which is "The Hidden Face of God." In it, he makes the best case I could ever imagine for a theistic world view derived directly and entirely from the most recent findings in microbiology and other scientific disciplines. You would be wise to read all of his books, but especially the above mentioned. Best wishes.
To K 181. I also lost my mother to malignant melenoma. I was 19 and had just graduated high school when my mom was dying at 46 yrs old. It was from a mole on her abdomen that 'also exploded' overnight, that had not had sun on it in over 20 years. I had to show the hospice nurses around the house, help her after surgery, call the ambulance to the house when she was in unbearable pain and could not breath. My Dad was beside himself, doing all he could to keep it together. I will never forget sitting in the hospital room for over 8 hours after she was taken off of life support, watching her gag and choke until she died. In a blur, I left the hospital and went to our local middle school to sign my 12 year old sister out of school to tell her in the parking lot Mom had died. Needless to say, It took years of my own life away, I can barely write this 15 years after her death without sobbing. I miss my best friend. I am sooo sorry for your loss. Thos article gives me hope. It is because of this experience I am a Nurse. To julie, it makes me angry, angry,angry when I as a Nurse do everything I can in my power to help patients like you and it still is not good enough. It keeps me up at night knowing another family has to deal with this. I hate the red tape crap in our goverment as much as you !!! I know of alot of people who move to Canada or close to the border to recieve treatment in their country because they HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE...... Girl, be criminal if you have too, lie cheat, do what ever you need to..... it's your life !!! Don't give up !! I will pray for you. Good luck.
Both of my parents died from intestinal cancer. I share your pain. I am also very angry that there is a cancer treatment that was available for all of human history until about 75 years ago.
There is a drug that treats pretty much any form of cancer successfully. It can be made from a common, easily grown plant, has been in use since prehistory and has no side-effects. This medicine cannot be patented by drug companies so they cannot make huge profits selling it to sick people and thus, it is illegal.
Go to Google Video and watch: "Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story".
Emily, your post left me in tears because it reminded me of the death of my dear parents. They died instantly and apparently painlessly of heart disease years apart at advanced ages, but it is a profound loss when both your parents pass on leaving you an exceedingly unhappy orphan all alone in the world.
I lost a grandmother and two close friends to cancer, my grandmother to stomach cancer, one of my friends to melanoma of the scalp that grew down through his brain and came out inside his mouth before he died, and the other to bladder cancer that reduced his massive 220 lb body-builder's physique to skin a bones in eight months of suffering.
Going through that awful, long dying experience with my friend made me sad but also made me mad. I got on the Internet and began to study cancer and its various reputed cures while my friend was alive, but my search greatly intensified after I saw him die. That really brought it home to me.
From personal experience and much reading, I have become extremely dubious of conventional cancer treatments. Over five hundred thousand people die each year who receive chemo, radiation and surgery. That means they really only amount to thunderously expensive quackery. Clearly, anyone who places their trust in those protocols is a brainless fool. My poor benighted friend was such a fool. I am not.
This new treatment is wonderful news for those people whose bodies can respond to it, but, as stated, it does not cure everyone. In my own war on cancer, I discovered an incredibly inexpensive approach that reputedly works perfectly without serious side effects on all but bone and some brain cancers.
Dr. Tulio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist whose clinic is in Rome, has been curing cancer spectacularly for over 30 years. We are just now learning about him because of the Internet. Of all the cancer cures I have researched, his is the most impressive (and I have no commercial connection with him whatsoever). Were I a victim of any cancer other than that of the bones or brain, I would contact Dr. Simoncini through cancerfungus.com, arrange to be treated in Rome, hop a jet with my laptop and Rosetta Stone Italian in tow, and expect to be returning in about 48 days completely cured and perfectly healthy.
Were I a victim of bone or brain cancer, I would investigate other treatment modalities such as hyperthermia in Germany and the sodium bicarbonate combined with maple syrup cure. The cancer is highly acidic, the bicarbonate is highly alkaline and the syrup is sweet, so, the glucose loving cancer absorbs the glucose but has to take the bicarbonate along with it, or, at least that is the theory. The alkalinity gradually destroys the acidic cancer without harming any part of the human body. Dr. Simoncini uses bicarbonate of soda also, but he applies it directly by injection or repeatedly fills the bladder or colon with a 5% solution.
I wish I had known about these and possibly other highly effective approaches to a cancer cure while my ol' gym buddy was still alive. He would still be alive now because we don't have to loose this war. It is already won for those who are in the know. "My people perish for lack of knowledge."
I am really happy for these people and wish them all the best. My mother passed away from Stage IV uterine cancer last year and I do know from reading alot of cancer boards and forums so many people have to deal with this. Insurance won't approve a drug that has merit because it's not approved for their type of cancer. It would be an "off label use" or ins. will approve cat scans but not Pets etc etc. Cancer is stressful enough without people havingn to worry about losing their jobs, their benefits, their retirement funds and maybe their homes. Don't you ever wonder sometimes what is in these drugs .I know it's a multi-billion dollar industry but it's so hush hush and top secret. Before my mother started "Treatment" of taxol and carboplatin, I tried researching the different chemo drugs . I could find very little info on actual ingredients and what I did find scared me. A lot of chemo drugs are based on plant derivatives that are then Synthesized. One drug (Avastin?) is incubated from hamster ovaries ? (I'm sure I'm not saying that correctly, and another drug had something in it that sounded horrifyingly like car wax. My mother's gyn/oncologist (or as I refer to him on my better days, The man who would be king) told me after my mother passed, "well you know in the UK, if you're over 60 they won't even put you on a ventilator. " My mother was 79. His point being I guess, consider yourself lucky that I agreed to treat her because of her age and quit complaining . We have no idea why she's dead. Seriously, that was the jist of the conversation.
What do you want to bet this doesn't hit the market in a timely fashion unless the drug company pays off some congressman and senator. And when it does, insurance companies will refuse to pay. Morals in the US have never been lower.
This article is good news!!!! Cancer is such a horrible sickness, went through it with my mom 3 years ago, she had stage III colon cancer and now with my uncle. If the government won't sponsor universal health care they should at least give every citizen access to coverage for early detection screenings for certain high incident cancers, like skin, colon, breast, prostate, etc. at regular intervals. Where the huge cost of treating cancer comes is at the later stages of the disease often because it was not detected or diagnosed in time. Early detection would save many, many lives and lots of money. If you have insurance, get your regular screenings, please, they will save your life!!!!
IC2.......Even stage IV cancer can be cured inexpensively by Dr. Simoncini while you enjoy a vacation in Italy (gorgeous from what I've seen). It is all very simple. If needed, one of the delivery techniques may be a little pricey, but nothing to begin to compare with the cost of the least expensive treatment here in America. I am far from being wealthy, but even I could easily finance a Roman cancer cure without a dime of insurance money. And finally, you never have to go back because his patients never relapse as ours almost always do...until they die.
ras - as everything in this country - if it works you pay out of the butt to get it and if you have not figured that fact out already you are not worth answering.
proactive this - i am 63 and 100% disabled veteran who gets great care just like your lousy politicians - both me and my wife for the rest of our lifes but i had to fight for it unlike the politicians
Dan, there appears to be a ground-swell beginning among the taxpayers, with the target being ALL in dc. Please join us in the fight against the greedy rotten pols and we all may have a chance of survival. I see no other way out, do you ?
it is an insult that the mighty technologically advanced country in the world or so we claim to be is 47th in the world in medical care. to think we call socialist countries stupid just comes back to slap us in the face in the medical field and other fields that we are so far behind in that we will never catch up to them nasty socialist countries. what the hell good is technology if it is being held back by this or that organization as our medical field is being by the A.M.A. and selected doctors who are scared shi tless that they will not be able to milk cancer victims dry because now there is a confirmed cancer cure out on the market. they still have one last gasp and that is what the hell the price of this treatment will be. probably like all other treatments in our wonderful country the rich will only be able to afford it and the working class will take it up the poop chute again as they always do
i still remember when the united states was number 1 in every damn field and we are only number 1 in crime today. what the F happened to my country
Greedy self-serving pols, of course. Where have you been ?
Write them, call them, organize against them. I am a retired army eng., well off, and have the time, as you do to organize and make a difference. United we stand, divided we fall victims !
In answer to your question about what happened to your country, I would suggest that massive numbers of people have continually voted for all the wrong people. Of course, we have never had any good options for president, but they even voted for fools to inhabit the halls of congress and our state assemblies. As Pogo famously said, "We have found the enemy and he is us."
RAS...You are correct. They are crafty, greedy, self-serving leeches. They are also too stupid and foolish to understand that "therein lies the way of death," as the Bible puts it. Have they never read history? Have they never seen how even great nations collapse under the weight of their own depravity? How blinded by Satanic influence can they be? You have to be an unmitigated fool to fall for Satan's many lies about there being no need for moral integrity in government when everything in life validates the opposite view. They will discover one day how very wrong they have been, but by then it will probably be much too late......for them and us unless we replace them with good men and true.
Flylowguy.....Dr. Simoncini uses iodine plus a few other things to cure skin cancer. It does the job every time when people cooperate with him on the cure. Contact him now through cancerfungus.com.
RAS.....It is up to us to get the word out to everyone so that the poor, suffering masses of terminally misinformed cancer victims can become aware of him and find healing for their otherwise deadly disease. MSNBC and others of their ilk have been bought and paid for by the cancer industry as well as by the liberal left, so, you will never hear of Dr. Simoncini from any of them.
You are correct Joe. I have been reading about targeted cancer therapies for two decades now. I hear about such treatments being tested and tested and tested and tested and then,.... nothing.
Meanwhile thousands of cancer sufferers are "treated" with painful and disabling surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The truth is that there is more money in ineffective "cancer treatments" and the suffering and death of you and your loved ones than there is in curing the illness.
There is a cheap, natural treatment for cancer that has no side effects. It is currently illegal. For more information, go to Google Video and watch: "Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story".
This reads like good news. Gene specific therapies may find their mark yet and that is such good news you can't imagine. I live in Australia where melanoma rates are among the highest in the world (thanks to abundant sunshine and a 'bronzed aussie' mentality that associates a deep tan with good health.
Many over time have claimed to treat the untreatable over the years, it's good to see some real progress with tangible results being made for a change. Now we just have to hope that it can be supplied at an affordable price.
..and folks, please make sure your partner or doctor examines every inch of your skin on a regular basis. Skin cancer be it basal cell, squamous cell or melanoma has a far better chance of treatment if excised before it can breach the lymph system and blood stream. even small lesions, if deep enough can prove deadly with melanoma.
Have any suspicious moles or other lesions looked at by a board certified dermatologist who can further investigate. If It turns out to require aggressive treatment, he should refer you to specialist surgeons and oncologists. You need to be sure the person you are dealing with is accountable and responsible as a physician.

Quacks are derided for a reason...they're dangerous. The most dangerous are prosecuted and struck off.....such was the case with Tullio Simoncini.

In a blur, I left the hospital and went to our local middle school to sign my 12 year old sister out of school to tell her in the parking lot Mom had died. Needless to say, It took years of my own life away, I can barely write this 15 years after her death without sobbing. I miss my best friend. I am sooo sorry for your loss. Thos article gives me hope. It is because of this experience I am a Nurse. To julie, it makes me angry, angry,angry when I as a Nurse do everything I can in my power to help patients like you and it still is not good enough. It keeps me up at night knowing another family has to deal with this. I hate the red tape crap in our goverment as much as you !!! I know of alot of people who move to Canada or close to the border to recieve treatment in their country because they HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE...... Girl, be criminal if you have too, lie cheat, do what ever you need to..... it's your life !!! Don't give up !! I will pray for you. Good luck.
Both of my parents died from intestinal cancer. I share your pain. I am also very angry that there is a cancer treatment that was available for all of human history until about 75 years ago.
There is a drug that treats pretty much any form of cancer successfully. It can be made from a common, easily grown plant, has been in use since prehistory and has no side-effects. This medicine cannot be patented by drug companies so they cannot make huge profits selling it to sick people and thus, it is illegal.

Emily, your post left me in tears because it reminded me of the death of my dear parents. They died instantly and apparently painlessly of heart disease years apart at advanced ages, but it is a profound loss when both your parents pass on leaving you an exceedingly unhappy orphan all alone in the world.
I lost a grandmother and two close friends to cancer, my grandmother to stomach cancer, one of my friends to melanoma of the scalp that grew down through his brain and came out inside his mouth before he died, and the other to bladder cancer that reduced his massive 220 lb body-builder's physique to skin a bones in eight months of suffering.
Going through that awful, long dying experience with my friend made me sad but also made me mad. I got on the Internet and began to study cancer and its various reputed cures while my friend was alive, but my search greatly intensified after I saw him die. That really brought it home to me.
From personal experience and much reading, I have become extremely dubious of conventional cancer treatments. Over five hundred thousand people die each year who receive chemo, radiation and surgery. That means they really only amount to thunderously expensive quackery. Clearly, anyone who places their trust in those protocols is a brainless fool. My poor benighted friend was such a fool. I am not.
This new treatment is wonderful news for those people whose bodies can respond to it, but, as stated, it does not cure everyone. In my own war on cancer, I discovered an incredibly inexpensive approach that reputedly works perfectly without serious side effects on all but bone and some brain cancers.
Dr. Tulio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist whose clinic is in Rome, has been curing cancer spectacularly for over 30 years. We are just now learning about him because of the Internet. Of all the cancer cures I have researched, his is the most impressive (and I have no commercial connection with him whatsoever). Were I a victim of any cancer other than that of the bones or brain, I would contact Dr. Simoncini through cancerfungus.com, arrange to be treated in Rome, hop a jet with my laptop and Rosetta Stone Italian in tow, and expect to be returning in about 48 days completely cured and perfectly healthy.
Were I a victim of bone or brain cancer, I would investigate other treatment modalities such as hyperthermia in Germany and the sodium bicarbonate combined with maple syrup cure. The cancer is highly acidic, the bicarbonate is highly alkaline and the syrup is sweet, so, the glucose loving cancer absorbs the glucose but has to take the bicarbonate along with it, or, at least that is the theory. The alkalinity gradually destroys the acidic cancer without harming any part of the human body. Dr. Simoncini uses bicarbonate of soda also, but he applies it directly by injection or repeatedly fills the bladder or colon with a 5% solution.
I wish I had known about these and possibly other highly effective approaches to a cancer cure while my ol' gym buddy was still alive. He would still be alive now because we don't have to loose this war. It is already won for those who are in the know. "My people perish for lack of knowledge."
I am really happy for these people and wish them all the best. My mother passed away from Stage IV uterine cancer last year and I do know from reading alot of cancer boards and forums so many people have to deal with this. Insurance won't approve a drug that has merit because it's not approved for their type of cancer. It would be an "off label use" or ins. will approve cat scans but not Pets etc etc. Cancer is stressful enough without people havingn to worry about losing their jobs, their benefits, their retirement funds and maybe their homes. Don't you ever wonder sometimes what is in these drugs .I know it's a multi-billion dollar industry but it's so hush hush and top secret. Before my mother started "Treatment" of taxol and carboplatin, I tried researching the different chemo drugs . I could find very little info on actual ingredients and what I did find scared me. A lot of chemo drugs are based on plant derivatives that are then Synthesized. One drug (Avastin?) is incubated from hamster ovaries ? (I'm sure I'm not saying that correctly, and another drug had something in it that sounded horrifyingly like car wax. My mother's gyn/oncologist (or as I refer to him on my better days, The man who would be king) told me after my mother passed, "well you know in the UK, if you're over 60 they won't even put you on a ventilator. " My mother was 79. His point being I guess, consider yourself lucky that I agreed to treat her because of her age and quit complaining . We have no idea why she's dead. Seriously, that was the jist of the conversation.
What do you want to bet this doesn't hit the market in a timely fashion unless the drug company pays off some congressman and senator. And when it does, insurance companies will refuse to pay. Morals in the US have never been lower.
This article is good news!!!! Cancer is such a horrible sickness, went through it with my mom 3 years ago, she had stage III colon cancer and now with my uncle. If the government won't sponsor universal health care they should at least give every citizen access to coverage for early detection screenings for certain high incident cancers, like skin, colon, breast, prostate, etc. at regular intervals. Where the huge cost of treating cancer comes is at the later stages of the disease often because it was not detected or diagnosed in time. Early detection would save many, many lives and lots of money. If you have insurance, get your regular screenings, please, they will save your life!!!!
IC2.......Even stage IV cancer can be cured inexpensively by Dr. Simoncini while you enjoy a vacation in Italy (gorgeous from what I've seen). It is all very simple. If needed, one of the delivery techniques may be a little pricey, but nothing to begin to compare with the cost of the least expensive treatment here in America. I am far from being wealthy, but even I could easily finance a Roman cancer cure without a dime of insurance money. And finally, you never have to go back because his patients never relapse as ours almost always do...until they die.
now the big question - how much will it cost
Hey Dan, you sound like an old fart that can't find good in anything. No wonder the pols keep s--ting on all of us. Try getting pro-active !
ras - as everything in this country - if it works you pay out of the butt to get it and if you have not figured that fact out already you are not worth answering.
proactive this - i am 63 and 100% disabled veteran who gets great care just like your lousy politicians - both me and my wife for the rest of our lifes but i had to fight for it unlike the politicians
Dan, there appears to be a ground-swell beginning among the taxpayers, with the target being ALL in dc. Please join us in the fight against the greedy rotten pols and we all may have a chance of survival. I see no other way out, do you ?
it is an insult that the mighty technologically advanced country in the world or so we claim to be is 47th in the world in medical care. to think we call socialist countries stupid just comes back to slap us in the face in the medical field and other fields that we are so far behind in that we will never catch up to them nasty socialist countries. what the hell good is technology if it is being held back by this or that organization as our medical field is being by the A.M.A. and selected doctors who are scared shi tless that they will not be able to milk cancer victims dry because now there is a confirmed cancer cure out on the market. they still have one last gasp and that is what the hell the price of this treatment will be. probably like all other treatments in our wonderful country the rich will only be able to afford it and the working class will take it up the poop chute again as they always do
i still remember when the united states was number 1 in every damn field and we are only number 1 in crime today. what the F happened to my country
Greedy self-serving pols, of course. Where have you been ?
Write them, call them, organize against them. I am a retired army eng., well off, and have the time, as you do to organize and make a difference. United we stand, divided we fall victims !
In answer to your question about what happened to your country, I would suggest that massive numbers of people have continually voted for all the wrong people. Of course, we have never had any good options for president, but they even voted for fools to inhabit the halls of congress and our state assemblies. As Pogo famously said, "We have found the enemy and he is us."
Not "fools", Colin, but crafty, greedy pols who care for no one but their own egotistical selves !
RAS...You are correct. They are crafty, greedy, self-serving leeches. They are also too stupid and foolish to understand that "therein lies the way of death," as the Bible puts it. Have they never read history? Have they never seen how even great nations collapse under the weight of their own depravity? How blinded by Satanic influence can they be? You have to be an unmitigated fool to fall for Satan's many lies about there being no need for moral integrity in government when everything in life validates the opposite view. They will discover one day how very wrong they have been, but by then it will probably be much too late......for them and us unless we replace them with good men and true.
If this works, I am going to the nearest foreign country that has it available. I don't want to deal with this U.S. system at all.
I have been fighting skin cancer for a few years. The system here leaves me sick, disgusted, and broke. And the cancer doesn't seem to be abating.
Flylowguy.....Dr. Simoncini uses iodine plus a few other things to cure skin cancer. It does the job every time when people cooperate with him on the cure. Contact him now through cancerfungus.com.
Tis Dr. is a God-send. Too bad MSNBC doesn't headline it instead of their other slop !
RAS.....It is up to us to get the word out to everyone so that the poor, suffering masses of terminally misinformed cancer victims can become aware of him and find healing for their otherwise deadly disease. MSNBC and others of their ilk have been bought and paid for by the cancer industry as well as by the liberal left, so, you will never hear of Dr. Simoncini from any of them.
Not the first time this story has been told. Only a matter of minutes before the powers that be hush it up.
You are correct Joe. I have been reading about targeted cancer therapies for two decades now. I hear about such treatments being tested and tested and tested and tested and then,.... nothing.
Meanwhile thousands of cancer sufferers are "treated" with painful and disabling surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The truth is that there is more money in ineffective "cancer treatments" and the suffering and death of you and your loved ones than there is in curing the illness.
There is a cheap, natural treatment for cancer that has no side effects. It is currently illegal. For more information, go to Google Video and watch: "Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story".
This reads like good news. Gene specific therapies may find their mark yet and that is such good news you can't imagine. I live in Australia where melanoma rates are among the highest in the world (thanks to abundant sunshine and a 'bronzed aussie' mentality that associates a deep tan with good health.
Many over time have claimed to treat the untreatable over the years, it's good to see some real progress with tangible results being made for a change. Now we just have to hope that it can be supplied at an affordable price.
..and folks, please make sure your partner or doctor examines every inch of your skin on a regular basis. Skin cancer be it basal cell, squamous cell or melanoma has a far better chance of treatment if excised before it can breach the lymph system and blood stream. even small lesions, if deep enough can prove deadly with melanoma.
Have any suspicious moles or other lesions looked at by a board certified dermatologist who can further investigate. If It turns out to require aggressive treatment, he should refer you to specialist surgeons and oncologists. You need to be sure the person you are dealing with is accountable and responsible as a physician.
