Another Highly Successful treatment for Cancer discovered, this time by the Brits:

BBC News - British flowers are the source of a new cancer drug

BBC said:
Pre-clinical tests in mice have shown startlingly successful results.

"What we're looking for is a delay in the growth of the tumour," said Professor Patterson.

"But sometimes the treatment is so effective that in half of the studies, the mice appeared to be cured of their cancer. All mice responded to the treatment."

Just one dose of the colchicine produced this remarkable effect.

I can just hear Big Pharma loading up their war wagons now... This post will be erased in 5... 4... 3... 2...

The amount of 'breakthroughs' in cancer treatment that are made is staggering... it's amazing nothing ever comes to fruition and we're still using 30 year old chemo drugs.

Yup. It's a very long way from curing mice from very specific types of cancer to curing anything on humans. What usually happens is that a handful of the many breakthroughs that are published are eventually (within a couple of decades, which is often the time it takes to complete the studies) approved for use against one or two types of cancer.

To look at this realistically, it is often a good idea to keep in mind that cancer is not one disease, but a myriad of different ones with quite different characteristics. Many of them will require its own specific cure.
 
There are so many cures being found through plants, fruits, seeds, etc. etc. It almost makes me want to be a vegetarian - almost!

Isn't that the same stuff used to create polyploid pot?

Yes, but I think this British flower is a new source of it...

Or at least the news is about how they've successfully used the stuff specifically from this flower to be genetically modified into being useful against cancer.

Apparently Colchicine would kill you in a heartbeat if you just shot it as is into your vein, even in small doses. But they're really stoked about how they've modified it to have an extra few atoms to stop that deadly reaction, unless and only unless they touch a tumor. Pretty nifty stuff.


P.S. You gotta cut back on the pot, bro! Colchicine is used to make ANY plant polyploid! You just totally outed yourself... :batman: ;)
 
Its comedic that only now scientists are contemplating going to nature for cures. What really tops it is that most people still have no idea about the cure all flower found in South America called Pau D'arco.

I don't believe in cancer treatment until Steve Jobs is alive, well, and CEO of Apple again.
 
I've been looking at some companies doing cancer research, etc. These stand out to me:

Human Genome Sciences (HGSI)
Dendreon (DNDN)
Exelixis (EXEL)
Celldex (CLDX)

Yeah. The amount of detail specific cancers have is insane. I watched a family member die from lung cancer and learned so much shit about how specialized they make treatments.

Like one drug might only work on primary tumors in your lung, that fall into one of 5 general types, that have a certain genetic marker, and that haven't reached a certain stage of growth. And even then it doesn't always work and might cause cancer mutations (wtf) and you've got a treatment resistant tumor now.

I'll paint with a very large brush here but the existing chemo drugs are mostly like "the nuclear option" but every year brings on more refinement targetting specialized tumor types and atatcking a different growth strategy.

I'm usually one to knock big pharma, but sometimes you really are up against a massively hard problem that needs a ton of trials and data to fix. A general anti-cancer drug that isn't straight up poison would be awesome.
 
Dr. Max Gerson has invented cancer treatment in 1928.

Here is his daughter giving a full explanation of how to treat cancer at home:

They cure cancer in Mexico as it is illegal in the USA to treat cancer with a diet!
 
As others have stated in this thread - the cure for cancer is really a million little fixes for a million types and subtypes of cancer.

However, from a funding perspective, it can help to motivate the masses to contribute (i.e. charity races, fundraisers) by romanticizing the goal as a "cure for X cancer." It has a bit more of a ring to it than (example) "Donate to support monoclonal antibody research in the fight against Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia."
