Cure found for cancer?

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.

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.
