I'll look into it further, but it doesn't seem like it was tested on humans yet, at least from the old article I read. Definitely gonna check it out some more, but props to them for figuring out how to stop growth in cancer cells. Kinda sickens me how little attention it garnered, being that it's from a research group at a University. I could already see media outlets downplaying something like this because pharmaceutical companies would lose money if they didn't have to provide 10000000 types of drugs to cancer patients...
Came in to say this same exact statementOriginally Posted by GP9Rm4108
The last part of the article hit the nail on the head.
The drug companies don't want it because they can't make money off it if it can't be patented. Also, if there is one drug that will cure it, think of the money they will lose in the declining sales of other drugs. It's all a money game to these big corporations. They don't care about us. The cure to a major disease means they lose money. It's very sad, but did you really think that something like this would actually make huge waves?
what i have been trying to tell people. money is the cause for everything that happens in this world. which is why certain laws are made and other will never be made. for example most states are making no use of cell phones while driving law. this makes easy money for the police to write the tickets and it increases sales in accessories like blue tooth devices. but you will never see eating while driving be against the law because then corporations like McDonalds and jack in the box lose tons of moneys from the drive throughOriginally Posted by GP9Rm4108
