We can manipulate bacteria and viruses to create biological weapons... |
|
We can build a bomb intelligent enough to be sent via satellite down a 6" stovepipe. Hell, we can make satellites. We can make fake boobs, fake asses, fake lips, medicine to give men hard-ons, and we can even use botulin to erase wrinkles.
But we can't find a cure-all for cancer. In the past month, four people I know have died of cancer. My best friend's father starts chemotherapy Monday to shrink a large, stage-four malignancy on his liver--and it doesn't look good. My dad beat cancer last year; he will attend his best friend's funeral tomorrow--his best friend died from cancer. My mother's best friend died of cancer in August. Even people in their late thirties and fourties are dying with it.
There has to be a cure out there. Too many people suffering. Is cancer this prevalent in other regions of the nation? I live in rural south Mississippi. I seriously am beginning to believe that there is something in the water.
:cry:

1. I'm sorry. I agree that cancer should be a priority in the US. |

Won't be cured so easily because some of the companies that make cancer drugs ALSO make the carcinogens that pollute our food air water and land,Cancer is profitable. There is a "conflict of interest". http://www.preventcancer.com/press/books/april_99.htmhttp://www.ourstolenfuture.org/An interesting approach http://www.cancersalves.com/introduction/introduction.html

Where I grew up there were 10 houses on my street.. All the parents in these houses worked at Aberdeen proving ground except 1 guy. In these ten houses all but one had cancer touch the family.My father died of colon cancer,There was lukemia,skin and a brain cancer case.There was anotther colon cancer,a throat cancer....I forget the others off hand. Aberdeen military base dumps all sorts of shit in the water and air,they fire off munitions all the time. Bush has exempted his precious war industry from public accountability and safety. This has got to stop the industries are poisoning us for money by proxy by thier pollution.

6. What makes you think there isn't already a cure? |

If these things were easily cured, Pharmacutical companies would lose BILLIONS of dollars. So, they let people die out of greed. There's a nice cozy place in hell for them right next to Hitler. Duckie
