Is there to much corruption to cure cancer in the U.S.?

Seeing such a large industry caused by treating people with cancer, it would not be inconcievable that the medical and pharmaceutical industry would do it's best to prevent or slow down a release of a cheap cure. Much like the big oil industry prevents or hinders the development of alternative fuels. If that's the case, are the citizens of the U.S. going to have to rely on Europe or China to lead the way?

I don't disagree with you because I know what has happened with the Psych. Community and very destructive Psych Drugs. We are all driven by greed.

BINGO!!!

Greed in this world drives everything. No money in cures....just ongoing treatments. $$$$$

There's too much corruption to cure cancer ANYWHERE.

At one point, medicine moved past leeches and had a chance to either develop as preventative medicine (i.e. you only get sick from poor diet and lack of sleep/exercist) or germ theory. They figured out germ theory was more profitable so people are hooked on the idea that doctors will heal their ailment versus understanding diet, herbs, and exercise.

Here's how you can cure cancer without spending a cent on doctors.

1. Exercise helps improve your metabolism, which in turn helps it fight cancer. Walking a decent distance every week or so, or doing activities like gardening help out.
2. A weakened immune system (which can happen from drugs that suppress organ rejection, as well as carcinogenic substances) cause cancer. A diet that contains probiotics can strengthen the immune system as can a healthy diet and aforementioned exercise.
3. Getting plenty of fruits will give your body antioxidants, which have had some success fighting cancer. Eat some veggies too.
   
4. Avoid trans fats and corn syrup. Many of these clog the way your body naturally works meaning again, weakened immune system. Also don't have too much sugar or starch. Diabetics can tell you that this doesn't help.
5. If you can, avoid GMO stuff, especially corn, which you're probably allergic to from it being in everything.

That's a good way to get yourself killed.

It's actually a federal government conspiracy designed to implement single payer with it
as the sole provider. This way, it gains total control over us, forcing compliance with their
every dictate under penalty of withholding care, & death.

I have access to secret federal documents threatening all drug companies, doctors, &
researchers to make cancer causing (instead of curing) drugs. They're injected into
airplane fuel, & appear as chemtrails. This fear of increasing cancer, & induced hatred
of private sector health care (created by federal control of the TV & movie industries)
will cause clamoring for free public care, & ultimately socialism. They tricked us into
believing in evolutionism, and now this. The proof of this is obvious, sheeple!

Well these industries are international (as is medical research) so it’s not going to change significantly regardless of where you are. While there will be some individuals and organisations who wouldn’t want to invest in an actual cancer cure, there are just as many openly researching that with entirely good intentions. While the lack of support from some in the industry could well make things more difficult, they’re never going to entirely block and hide an actual simple cure. There are enough trusted and reliable people in the field to speak out for an actual cure were it to happen, even if they had a fight to get it developed and to market.

The idea of a “cure for cancer” does strike me as somewhat flawed, given that cancer covers quite a range of different things that already have a range of different, tailored treatments so the idea of a singular cure seems irrational. Some common underlying mechanism may well be the basis for treating or curing all cancers but how that is actually applied would necessarily vary significantly for different types of cancer. There is some promising sounding research in various areas but it’s unlikely to be easy (or, unfortunately, cheap) if any actual cure (or cures) come out of that.

Also, while acknowledging that there are some who would seek to slow or block a cancer cure, there are just as many who would, knowingly or not, push fake cures (sometimes using the “big pharmacy conspiracy” angle to shut out legitimate challenges). There were people in the past accusing the car industry of preventing the development of electric vehicles when others were saying that the technology simply wasn’t up to the task at the time. Today there are plenty of companies developing viable electric vehicles. The politics of the car industry hasn’t significantly changed over those few decades but the technology certainly has, suggesting there probably wasn’t much to those accusations.

Concerning cancer, I do think your line of logic follows. The cure of cancer is not a 'magic wand' money issue. The funds for cancer research have dramatically increased in recent years, and the increase in life expectancy is impressive, and the potential of cure is significant. By various non profit organizations virtually all children get free treatment in the USA. Actually the USA leads the research on cancer, but alas in many other areas of technology the USA lags miserably. The development of alternate fuels is one. International collaboration is the rule in cancer, but not in many other technologies.

Cancer is not only an American phenomenon, it is worldwide. As is cancer research which is a collaborative effort that is finding cures at an unprecedented rate?

The problem of course is cost, it may take many years of research to discover a cure, that research is not free.
