  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do you believe they can spend Hundreds upon Hundreds of Millions of dollars to find a cancer cure and find Nothing?? This stretches credulity way beyond the breaking point!! I believe the "searching" is far more profitable for them, than the "finding" would ever be! Therefore as long as this gravy train lasts, and it has lasted for DECADES "They" will never find a cure!! I have no doubt that they have found hundreds of cures, and simply shelved them, because there is so much more money to be made in continuing the "Search."...I can get on the internet and find half dozen cures in five minutes... Time for this to end folks!!!!!

Hey there my friend. Cancer is one of the odd problems that can happen. Sense it is not a bacteria, virus, or any other sort of germ. Because it is a mutation in one's own cells. A broken fragment of one's own DNA. It is very hard to find a cure for. How do you fix DNA? It is very difficult. If we had the answers to that we could reverse the ageing process. There are tons of avenues of cancer research happening, and some are very promising. Now that we finally have the tools to work more directly with DNA, I think we will see some better treatments for cancer. Still it is a very difficult and long process. There are Doctors out there that work on cancer research for free, so I imagine they are not trying to milk the cow.

What also doesn't help is that genetic research is highly debated and this slows down the process as well. The only way to CURE cancer would be through genetics. However there are many ways to remove cancer, and they are working on more. A derivitive of scorpion venom that seems to only attack cancer cells is one. But still it requires much more testing before it can be deamed safe. Inadequate patiant testing can be met with disasterous results. If you are maybe familiar with the drug FinFin, or Acutane. Inadequate testing caused serious problems for many people taking those "Cures".

Anyhow this is one area i don't think anyone is being decieved in, more likely clean power is a more decietful area.

I will pray for continued progress in this avenue and for your own piece of mind.

We have to remember that they have found cures, and preventions for some forms of cancer. Example the new shot for girls to prevent cervical cancer. I myself would jump through hoops and fire and brimstone to be alive for the cancer cure to be found. I not only lost my father to cancer when he was young, but have lost several friends to cancer. In fact today I found out of another friend who was diagnosed this past summer.

I can understand the outrage of the intial entry. I mean, did anyone notice how fast Viagra and its ilk were developed, packaged and available to the public, yet it seems that cancer research lingers in the research stage? Perhaps we need a national focus dedicated to the eradication of cancer similar to the vow to be on the moon in a decade. With a broad spectrum of researchers wholly dedicated and with ample funds on hand huge progress can be made.

I do not feel, however, that feet are dragging because of either corruption or greed, because (sadly) all know whoever cures cancer will be at no end of fame or fortune.

I do not know if researchesrs are avioding making a cure because I feel there would be tons of money in selling a cure. I do however get upset at the pharmacutical companies that make soooo much money off of life saving drugs that are out of the financial limitations of so many people. It's funny how cheep certain things like viagra are compared to AIDS medications.
