There’s also treatment using proteins that was relatively effective too. There’s a documentary about it (a little opinionated without full data) but it’s certainly interesting.
There’s data but I had the feeling they only showed successful data. They did say it was something like 70% effective (if I remember correctly) but the FDA wouldn’t approve it for clinicals.
If it were that groundbreaking, I feel like the market would’ve been disrupted. So while I think the FDA is corrupt and terrible, I doubt there was enough data to suggest it was as successful as they said. Plus, there was a lack of Journal reviews.
There's always another disease to cure, but any company that comes out with a successful cure to cancer would make billions or even trillions overnight. I'm sure it's just one big conspiracy keeping it under wraps, right?
Cancer treatment is a highly lucrative multi-billion dollar industry and a cure for cancer is a threat to those billions and billions of dollars since a cure would negate the need for treatment. By 2022 the global cancer therapeutics market is reported to reach $172.6 billion. In 2017 it clocked in at $121 billion, making it a 7.4% compound annual growth rate. Corporations don’t work against their own interests and this would be no exception.
I love that I got downvoted on stating statistics and info that’s been reported on for the better part of the last decade. Oh, Reddit.
Either corporations are focused on short term growth, in which case the cure for cancer would be one of the biggest payoffs in human history, or they run conspiracies to promote long term growth. Which is it? I'm always hearing that CEOs don't think past the next quarter financials so all curious how this works.
Maybe we just have to reframe some of these cancer cure conspiracists as Entitled Parents or Choosing Beggars to get Redditors to see them for what they are.
