Many cancers are treatable. People should be aware that there are over 200 cancers. All react to treatments in different ways. One cancer treatment in one person may well react differently to "the same" cancer in another person. Targeted treatment is something Breakthrough Breast Cancer, here in the UK, are conducting studies on. These treatments target the specific cancer cells, leaving good cells alone. If one person on a football team has a broken leg you don't put the whole team in plaster! I do not believe that there is a cure being kept quiet to keep the Pharisaical companies happy. I do not believe that charities are just making people rich. I believe people are working hard to find cures. First, though in many cases, especially breast cancer, we need to find the cause! We can do quite a bit to help ourselves. Early detection of the cancers that physically make themselves known helps us with the opportunity of less invasive treatments. Healthier lifestyles can help keep the chances higher against cancer developing but this alone will not guarantee it. As was covered in the video, some people will develop cancer regardless. Take breast cancer. Highest contributing factor: Being a woman. Next age, (Over 50) then health. Smoking, bad diet, over weight and so on. Then a young fit healthy non smoking male develops the disease. Research is vital across the world to find causes to many cancers as well as cures. It is a battle that I am part of. My partner Sarah is a survivor, a dear friend of 27, Hayley died this year. I can't just stand by and watch. Phil UK “Cure for cancer?” Many cancers are treatable.

I think several people are working towards it and advancements are being made every day and a cure will be found, but has not been yet. I saw Dr. Berzinski's video. I think he may have had some success and may have part of the answer. I am not trying to minimize his work because I think it's important, but I also think if he had truly found "the cure" he would not have been ignored. Hyperthermia may be another part of the answer/treatment. I believe that if there truly was a cure it would be shouted from the rooftops because I know no one who has not in some way been touched by cancer, including those researchers and medical professionals out there. I think these are all advancements along the road but to term them cures is a falsehood. I also think you are correct, some people are predisposed to get cancer no matter what. We just have to all keep moving forward towards that ultimate goal, which will be reached some day. They found the cure for Polio which was a big thing when I was growing up and I know many survivors and I feel they will find a cure for cancer. If I didn't I wouldn't be doing what I do and I don't think you would either. Keep up the good work, Dusty. You are the best! No, I don’t believe there is a cure for cancer out there.
