Possible cure for cancer, and other deadly diseases . . .

Cancer Research Scientists ^ are close to a cure!

Here's hoping the ongoing research is successful ... http://theweek.com/speedreads/450160...ay-good-health

Well if true-- a guy I work with is going to live to be a 1000

[Sundancefisher]

Wow. Glad I ride the Ctrain then. I smell enough to live forever. Or die a little inside each time.

[Horseflyer]

Hehehehe

A guy could make a killing in bean futures, once this slips out, but something doesn't smell right here.

You know they'll never release a cure! The lost jobs would destroy the global economy!

[Redfrog]

Not to mention the effect it would have on Global warming

I love this. When Yes Dear asks what I did all day, I'll tell her I had a couple beer and some pickled eggs and worked on a cure for cancer.

Ah the smell of success.

Quoted from the article:

"While hydrogen sulfide gas is harmful in large doses, the study suggests that "a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria"

I think they should replace the word "harmful" with, unnhh, I don't know, maybe fatal!!!

Hopefully not too many people will start going around sour gas wells and just taking a whiff here and there.

When you smell your own ... that's called 'Karma'!

Same as Diabetes and High Blood Presure, way tooooo much money in it for the pharmaceutical companies! They want us sick, bigger dividends that way.

In this particular case I would prefer to take the medicine in tablet form, heavy mint flavor. lol

You have to be about as stupid as one can ever be for saying and believing this!

Always thought of farts as Sulphur dioxide, different chemical.

Cancer research alone is a multi billion dollar industry. Add to that pharmaceutical companies making all the current medication, the lobbyists, the charity programs, the doctors, nurses, and support staff that run all the cancer centers, the charities and fund raising ventures, the construction and service industry that builds and maintains the facilities. . . The list goes on.

May not literally cripple the global economy, but millions upon millions of people would be out of work.

Just sayin'

Well, just think of the pressure on the population, if we cured cancer and a couple of other disease. Get sick and tired of hearing this stupid reasoning. Wife and I have both been there. Both of us are as cured as you can be. There is no person who can claim he is totally cured, till he dies of something else, once you have it, there is always a chance, remote or not that it will recur. Cancer is not one disease that we can cure with a magic pill, it is a group, some of which, the cause we still don't know, it goes right back to the blue prints that define out body. Any "cancer" is uncontrolled cell growth, when our DNA fails us. We can bitch and complain, but if "Big Pharma" didn't see a profit in treatments, we'd be up the creek without a paddle, just like our ancestors 75 years ago. We've made much progress in early detection and successfull treatment. I'll wager quite a few of us here have benefited from that. Better yet, unlike the US, it doesn't have to bankrupt us.

Rant for the year.

Dewalt 18 is right.
They're not about to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Joe blow is not that important, people are a renewable resource.

I know for a fact that the companies fund for patented drugs, not cures. As a student at the UofC, taking genetic and chemistry courses, my professors flat out said that this is what happens. They were doing some ground breaking stuff. But any ground breaking research is not only expensive, but also gets shut down with legal threats etc. Part of one course dealt only with the ethics regarding drug research. If companies can't profit, they won't fund research. The school can't afford hundreds of millions of dollars for research, so they do with what they have, but it's not enough. Simple as that. But if someone finds a cure, and patent it, they can charge whatever they want for the magical pill... Is that okay? It's a big issue, with no real answer
