At Duke University, researchers had developed a genetic test to determine the best way to fight cancer.  They would examine the tumor cell genomes to identify the best drugs for the particular type of cancer the patient has contracted. Unfortunately, these tests were found not to work, and the research that was used to support them was discredited.

This shows that there are some problems with genetic research and its use in cancer detection and treatment. Many of the present genetic research in cancer has not yielded any tangible benefits. There have been many claims that cancer research can be facilitated by the use of genetics, but it just isn’t being realized. continue reading…

We have been focusing on news about Big Pharma and the Medical Establishment, but it’s time to get back to basics. The real goal is to cheaply, safely, effectively help people get rid of cancer.  On that note, while doing some searches online, I found some anecdotal accounts of people getting rid of their cancer and/or tumors with the use of garlic.  It looked promising.  We know that garlic is a very powerful herb. You can tell that just by its extremely pungent odor.

Garlic has a number of interesting properties.  It has been used as a food and medicine for thousands of years.  It has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity.  It is also claimed that it is good for preventing heart disease. It is said to prevent certain types of cancer. Garlic cloves have been used as a treatment for infections, digestive disorders, and fungal infections.  Raw garlic is the most potent form. Cooking tends to reduce its effectiveness. The most powerful component of garlic is a molecule called allicin. continue reading…

There’s a relatively recent article that I came across that deals with the trouble that pharmaceutical companies are having.  They are having major problems due to a number of factors.  The former pharmaceutical researcher (Johnathan Bloom, Ph.D.) that wrote this article speaks about the obvious factors that are negatively affecting the pharmaceutical industry.

He covers the phenomenon  of the large number of big money drug patents that are going to expire shortly. Just from expiring patents, he estimates that the Big Pharma industry will lose about $50 billion.

He also speaks on U.S. patent law, which allows a company to have exclusive rights to profits from the drugs that they produce. After taking in to consideration related issues, the effective length of the profit period is about 8 years. After that, generics are produced and the sales of the brand name drug plummet. In fact, he says that most drugs never reach a breakeven, since most of them take about a billion to develop.  In this type of pharmaceutical environment, the blockbuster multi-billion dollar profit drug is a critical element in the pharmaceutical drug paradigm. continue reading…
