It's confirmed: New drug really, seriously cures cancer!

no wait, i've seen this movie, they invented the cure to cancer and everyone turned into fotophobic zombies, pshhh, no thanx

this is exciting. once one new discovery is made, the whole ball of yarn comes unraveled. in this case, thats amazing.

hopefully this is a new page in the history of mankind!

I asked Viero to give me some info on THC/Cancer link, that's why, so blame me if anything for the amount of weed related responses.
However, I think it's unfair to dismiss everything because some of you have a bias against marijuana. Like I said before, if THC can truly help people and has something to offer science and medicine, we should definitely look into it. There is a lot of interesting research out there from very credible sources (Harvard, John Hopkins, etc) about THC's medical purposes.
I'm sick of marijuana and the people who smoke it being stereotyped and shut out because of the propaganda some people still believe.

cool! i agree with rem2...
prevention is definitely better than cure...

Great, more people.

Cancer does suck though, so it's a toughie.

Wow, this is amazing, its going to save so many lives. I wonder what dumbass voted this down.

the thing that gets me is that so much money and time is spent on finding a cure to cancer. why not spend the resources on preventing cancer. educate people about an organic raw food lifestyle. your body is powerful but not when it is full of toxic poisons and free radicles.

cancer can not exist in your body if it is alkaline,
but thrives if you are acidic. a raw food diet will will alkalinize your blood and in turn you will be disease free.

Hardly a cure. I'm not a dr. or scientist, but I don't see 4 remissions and 5 'reduction of tumor size' out of 38 is a cure....a start, but far from a cure.

I really hope this works. With the amount of people who face cancer every year, this'll change everything. Here's to hoping it's effective and affordable.

anyone ponder why we try to save people with cancer, why we dump billions of dollars into it? think about it.

stop cutting down the rain forrest

talk to the shaman in the areas

name the millions of species of plants that haven't been named yet and we might be able to find more than just a cure for cancer

really? seriously?

How awesome that the cure for cancer was in the human body this whole time.

Cancer: Check.
AIDS: Next on the hit list...

amazing

i like it, i love it, i want some more of it

fark is going to need to find a new tagline for stories about scientific wastes of time.

How did this post get Hijacked by a "Weed cures all" thread?

Only 4 of 38 cured... I've heard better results from Amazonian shaman. They use natural herbs and dietary restrictions/recommendations.

Under current law we could never recognize a plant as a medicine in the U.S. Why you may ask? To get a drug passed through the FDA one must prove every chemical in its compound safe and effecacious. It costs around 1.6 billion dollars per chemical and an herb is sometimes made up of thousands of chemicals. Disqualified from the start.

I really hope this surfaces more becuase i do not want people to suffer from this horrible sickness.

For the sake of all those who are ill today and will become ill in the future I hope this is a promising as it seems.Unfortunately with most new drugs their are unwanted serious side affects that may not arise untill months possibly even years after the initial use.If that is not the case with this then millions will soon truly be on the road to recovery.

I don't know. I saw I Am Legend. I hope I'm immune.

oh my god people get over you obcession with pot...jesus almighty you kids are just...man...

Thanks but I'll stick with mother nature.

Awesome! Will our health system/drug companies actually let us have it without draining our wallets?

Sounds like great news. Interesting that in the end the most effective is still by activating our own immune systems rather than flooding our bodies with outside kill-everything type chemicals (though I guess these therapies also include lots of chemicals)

Wow, that is the best news I have heard in so long.
Praise God and I am thankful for all who have spent their lives on this.
Thank you.

This is great news for everyone! It must be a huge step
for a cure of cancer..now all we need is
a medicine that can cure ALL types of cancer.

Theres a Peruvian Shaman who could've told you that cancer was curable a few years ago....please, Science is just now catching up with what natural remedies have been capable of doing for centuries......

I hope that this break through helps in the fight against all cancers. Hopefully we can keep this out of the hands of big pharma as well as big insurance and make this an affordable treatment for anyone to receive weather they have coverage or not. Constitutionally we have the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness,. A cure for cancer is our right to life.

I wish they would have found this 10 yrs ago to save my grandpa, but I am still thrilled that so many lives can be save anyway =]=]=]=]=]=]=]=]I'm sooooo Happy!!

if the rate of success becomes greater than it is now, which i assume it will with a little more time, the drug companies will hold on to it and make it really expensive or start putting out reports saying it doesn't work so they can keep you in the medicine not in the solution.

Its seems a step in the right direction. But 9 out of 38 is not quite impressive but a promise. My biggest concern if it does work is if the corporation will take it to make a profit :(

Wonderful. A step in the right direction. Hopefully they'll find a cure with better results. I'm happy for the people who saw the disease disappear with this treatment.

Thanks but he's still dead. I hsd an uncl that hd M.S. He's still dead too, although significant strides have been made in that field as well. The timeing always seems to be off.
Don't get me wrong I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I just would have liked for them to have enjoyed more of this beautiful life we have to live.
Every mament is precious.

9 out of 38 patients seeing a result? How is this a cure? it shows promise for a third of the people afflicted with this specific cancer at most. Hopefully it will be further developed into a cure, but the numbers don't match the headline.

I just wish that I knew about this before my dad died of lymphoma just over a year ago.

Hey Vierotchka - did you know if you rub weed on your ass you'll grow wings too??

A family member of mine is currently suffering from skin cancer. This news literally made my heart jump. Perhapes this can be ready in time for her.

I Am Legend in real life?

I could go on and on, but it is waaaaaaaay past my bedtime and I must get a bit of sleep now. :)

Much cheaper and just as effective - THC.

I am seriously left speechless by this.

I really hope it goes as far as they think.

effective and cheap? sounds too good to be true.

This sounds wonderful!!!
