No, I think that when a cancer cure is discovered, it will be the results of millions of dollars in research and a difficult and expensive manufacturing process. It will be expensive during the length of its patent, especially because of the large number of current patients who would want it. Eventually it would get cheaper with the introduction of generics and the increase of manufacturing capability.

But I think that because I don't think it is as easy as eating apricot pits. If an easy and cheap cancer cure were proven, there would be plenty of big-money sources that would benefit from its success. "Alternative medicine" isn't a victim of corporate deceit; it is a perpetrator.

Smile cure for cancer

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I just had to respond to Pie. "Fuck off and die"? I will gladly continue to stay away from the cellar (apart from the odd line here and there just to get you Americans going again) but die? No sorry, that won't happen because I am bloody healthy and fighting my cancer. By the way, if you all keep on like this, I think you will all be candidates for cancer. And Kim, I wouldn't keep on. This lot slag you off if you don't think like they do. I actually wonder if any of you noted that B17 wasn't the ONLY thing I am doing? It is just a small part of my regimen. If you weren't sitting down to write these threads, your brains might work better if you weren't squashing them. Keep going guys, I'm happy as Larry listening to y'all!!!

I still think you're a shill for the cyanide--oops--'alternative medicine' company.

Just like how aids treatments have gotten so much more available after all this time? Sure, all aids patients world wide are running around like Magic Johnson, right?

Although I'm not allowed to name names, I know about a dozen people on "The Cocktail" who only have Medicaid.

Do you think The Cocktail is all that Magic gets? Not just that, sure a percentage in the US gets that, but how many and who gets chosen.
How long has it been available, how long did it take?
I'm telling you, I have family that are rich, not just rich, but Rich. Close family. They get treated differently and often get things that others do not.
Do you think that the ultra rich have to wait for laws to change for stem cell research to get stem cell therapy? No, they go to Germany or Brazil and get it, depending on what form they need. Or they get it here and just break the law. Simple.
There is a level of medical treatment that is different than what most get, it is a fact. I have seen the results and heard them discuss it.
