This “war on cancer” is making me sick!  But what I am really sick of is reading is stories like the one in Bloomberg Business Week today.  According to Bloomberg;

The bigger payday will come from big-ticket drugs that treat the millions who suffer from more common—and lucrative—forms of cancer, such as those affecting the lungs, breasts, or prostate. In January, Epizyme, a company co-founded by Nobel laureate H. Robert Horvitz, agreed to a deal worth up to $650 million with GlaxoSmithKline to search for epigenetics drugs for cancer. Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Lilly, and at least four venture-backed startups are also racing to devise cell-reprogramming drugs for more prevalent tumors. “Every major company I know of has a program” in epigenetics, says Jean-Pierre Issa, an oncologist at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Cancer drugs are the world’s top sellling drug category with over $22 billion is US sales alone!  That figure is up from $15.8 billion in 2006.  Imagine what the bill is going to be once the effects of Fukushima begin to manifest!  What really pisses me off is that scientists don’t want to focus on how to NOT GET cancer in the first place.  No way!  They would never opt for a step like that because it would cost them billions of dollars.  They want you to get cancer, and they want to sell you the antidote!  Big Pharma is betting the farm on this working.

Much of big pharma’s efforts are going into manipulating specific genes with nano-technology.  That so wrong headed!  As the cancer rate accelerates in the coming years, you are going to have to make some hard decisions.  Studies show that over 90% on oncologists would refuse chemo therapy if they personally had cancer.  What does that tell you?

With what I have seen in relation to alkalinity and cancer, powerful natural antioxidants and inflammation, hemp oil, and other traditional wellness support mechanisms, I am not taking any chances with these “johnny-come-lately” alternative medical practitioners.  You call them doctors.  I call them licensed drug dealers.  They are the true “alternative medical practitioners” since they have only been around for 120 years, whereas my choice for medical support has been here for over 4,000 years.

Do not confuse my disdain for doctors to include all doctors.  I like the bone menders, cardiologists and other specialists, along with the organ transplant folks.  They are the “mechanics” of the health care business.  The others are nothing more than drug dealers in lab coats.

What is really needed is to fire everyone at the FDA and then recreate that organisation properly.  Fire all of the “Czars” appointed by Obama and start again.  But most of all, nationalize big pharma.  Re-write their mandate to ensure their focus is on disease prevention.

Finally, no one escapes blame today.  If you are going to keep smoking, drinking and eating “stupid food”, then take your lumps!  Don’t try to sue tobacco companies because you claim their product harmed you.  You  have to be a moron not to know right from wrong.  Every human on the planet knows the difference. Take some responsibility and balance your dietary and lifestyle habits…or enjoy the ride and whatever pain it provides.
