This is just one instance of how Big Pharma companies operate. This video isn’t about cancer (directly), but it will show you how these companies do business, and how they shamelessly flaunt the law. In fact, the laws apparently don’t mean much to them. It’s all just a business expense to them. They are obviously making more money by breaking the laws than they could by following them. Their only consideration is the ‘bottom line’, and the effects of the drugs on the patients is of a much lower priority.

There is always a plethora of cancer stories in the press that speak of hope and promise for the ever-ending cascade of new drugs and various treatments.  In fact, I’ve noticed that there has been a promising new drug, therapy, or treatment that will change things that is ‘just around the corner’ for as long as I can remember, which is over 30 years ago.  What gives?

For example, I found an article about an experimental drug called PLX4032, which is said to reverse the effects of a gene mutation that is found in certain tumors.  They say that it is a prototypical example of the new approach to cancer treatment.  This is a strategy in which the cancer is targeted based on genotypes, and other various biomarkers of the cancer cell.

In some patients, the drug was said to have produced great results.  But when this drug was given to patients with colorectal tumors with the same gene mutation, it failed miserably.  This was a ‘flashing red light’ to me that strongly implies that the present paradigm is not correct, and is not working. continue reading…

I found an article that speaks about the use of internet searches to find and correlate data from various online databases that may offer help in finding new treatments for cancer.  The title of the paper is The Power of the Web in Cancer Drug Discovery and Clinical Trial Design: Research without a Laboratory? The article caught my attention, and appears to have good information for use by medical professionals.  But as you probably already suspect, I have a few concerns with it.

Although it is a good idea to use the internet to find new treatments for cancer, the authors of the article give away their bias right in the title. continue reading…

It appears that Vitamin D supplementation may reduce cancer incidence and relapse.  This has been reported for a while now, but it may be doubtful that people have heard it because there appears to be a lot more emphasis on treatments for cancer than there is for its prevention.  The treatments are hyped up and marketed fiercely, but the prevention is not as glamorous.  This seems to be a direct result of the ‘magic pill’ archetype that has been pushed for many years.

I guess that it seems much easier to just take a pill and be done with it, rather than change unhealthy habits that lead to disease.  The unfortunate part is that there is no such thing as a magic pill that will erase unhealthy habits that destroy good health.  All drugs have side effects, and prolonged use of drugs increases the probability that the side effects will have negative impact on the patient.

Studies have shown that Vitamin D levels in average people are lower than they need to be for optimum health.  Low levels of Vitamin D are also associate with a number of diseases.  So it is a good idea to supplement your Vitamin D, but it is also a very good idea to have your Vitamin D levels measured so that you know how much supplementation is needed.  Vitamin D supplementation may be a way to significantly lower your chances of coming down with cancer.  The video below is approximately 30 minutes, but has some great information.

We always hear about the benefits and wonderful reasons why chemotherapy is alleged to be among the best treatments for cancer. Even if we assume that this is true, what price do patients have to pay for a cure for cancer? I think that this is a legitimate question.

Patients have been claiming that they have experienced reduced mental functioning after chemotherapy. Not, it appears that scientists have finally determined conclusively that chemotherapy can cause brain damage, even though they don’t call it this in the articles. But if you look at the symptoms, it can’t be anything besides brain damage. continue reading…

The Cancer Treatment business is a very large business–one of the largest in the world.  There are literally many hundreds of billions of dollars spent on cancer drug research.  In fact, a lot of Big Pharma companies are beginning to devote more research efforts into cancer research.  It is a very lucrative market.  Cancer drugs are extremely expensive.  The average cancer patient spends approximately $100,000 on cancer treatments.  What is amazing to me is that the expenditure is very high, but the probability of success (i.e., a cure or long life with a high quality-of-life) is small, despite industry statistics.

Big Pharma is starting to show more interest in cancer drugs because the other markets are beginning to wane.  Although there have been big successes with drugs in other market niches, the cancer niche is ripe for more profits. continue reading…
