Billions in Cancer Research Funding – Where Are The Results?
On numerous occasions in earlier blog posts I have alluded to the billions of US dollars (US$110 Billion?) to date, conservatively, that now continue to be spent on cancer research; asking where has all the money gone and where are the results in terms of cancer cures?
Also, I strongly intimated that the cancer industry is now so huge, within both business and academic arenas, employing as they do, thousands upon thousands of people in administrative and research, it could be said that the finding of a cure for cancer is not now in there best interest.
And let us not forget the hospitals and medical specialists whose wealth rely heavily on income from expensive cancer treatment modalities; particularly chemotherapy and radiation. I doubt that they would welcome a cancer cure either. More especially if that cure came directly from nature itself. Another reason, I guess, why natural cures are currently ignored by practitioners of traditional medicine.
As for the involvement of Big Pharma in all of this, that is self explanatory surely. So I don’t think I’ll go there. Not this time.
The link below will take you to the article in question, titled “Cancer Research Funding – We Need Changes” dated 29 June 09 and written by Joel T Nowak MA, MSW. The name of the blog site appears to be “advancedprostatecancer.net and is a very informative and worthy site. Certainly worth exploring more.

Today’s quote:
“Chemotherapy is an incredibly lucrative business for doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies…..The medical establishment wants everyone to follow the same exact protocol. They don’t want to see the chemotherapy industry go under, and that’s the number one obstacle to any progress in oncology.”—Dr Warner, M.D.
