No Profit? how? give more details?
Cancer was never meant to be cured.
Good point. If there was a cure for cancer, it would be much less expensive then chemo.
That would only apply if the government created the cure, if a privately funded scientist (or maybe even one supported by a company) was able to cure AIDS or cancer they would publish their findings in a second.
They would be declared man of the century and instantly win a Nobel prize, there would be no way a scientist would pass up immortal fame.
Faith tramples all reason, logic, and common sense.
PM me for a sig.
Chris Rock said something like this once. "You think they're ever gonna cure AIDS? NO! Because the money's not in the Cure, it's in the COME BACK. One day it'll just be, 'Hey, man, you weren't at work on Monday, what happened?' "Oh, my AIDS was acting up again . . ."
lol
I think people are looking at cancer the wrong way.
They get told its a disease you randomly get, but it actually seems to be more related to the way you live.
It's like the disease for obesity. There is no "cure" for obesity, but there are ways to avoid it, and even get better from it, without a magic pill.
Oh, and the common cold will probably never be cured because there are so many viruses that cause it.
That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. And I've listened to a guy telling me about the time he thought there was a hamster in the lamp shade.

Methinks he was on some sort of substance induced trip.
Wow! Thank you for your input guys.
For the confused: What i mean is, the cure for cancer and the common cold might already
be discovered. The reason they haven't told us is because it would run companies such as
Advil and others off the market. And it would also make cancer treatments and testing
pointless as well. Mainly it's all about the money.
Hope that made things clearer

Dont think so. He's mental.
Don't be so quick to dis-credit this guy here. Drug companies adverstise their drugs to people because they make their money that way. They fool alot of people, I know people who take perscription pills for things they don't have. If drug companies turn the youth into advil addicts, they won't care. They have their brand new Rollex to keep em happy. As for actully curing the common cold/cancer, i don't think it's doable this day and age. The common cold has thousands of germs that cause it, each just different enough from the others to fool the immune system. That means a cure would have to get ALL of those germs, and thats alot. As for cancer, it would take an extremely immoral person to watch people die just so he can make money that he won't probably use. Then again, there are people like that...
You have a great point. So do I, here it is.
Let's (innaccurately) say that 400,000 people a year buy a $20 dollar drug to releave them of cold symptoms like runny nose, scratchy throat, nausea, ect. If the company that makes these finds a cure for the common cold, then those 400,000 people only use the cure once, and that means the company is out 8 Million dollars. Buissnesses understand things in two terms, money and customers. The cure would cause both to drop. So if it was possible, releasing it would cause quite a large drop in sales, thus the company losses money.
Cancer: dichloroacetate, capsaicin
As for the common cold, there are a number of hypotheses as well as treatments that work only in some cases, including interferons, antivirals and good old vitamin C.
Good points guys.
Thanks for your Input ^^

No, see, that's not how companies operate because of a free market competition. The point of releasing a cure is to charge $100 for it and screw your competition out of the market. Sure, you lose a little bit of yearly profit, but you get a massive immediate boost, a major market gian that benefits you everywhere, and a monopoly on something that will be bought endlessly.
Put simpl,y companies think in the short term and with the goal of destroying their opponents. Releasing a cure wins in both categories.
It's true. But ill tell you this much, if i get sick ill keep my money and just wait to get better. I got the best common cold killer, it's called the immune system.
Common Cold is always mutating.
People always catch it because it's always going to be new.
And cancer is a mutation of cells... it's not like you could take a pill for it and that's it.
Although, I believe that AIDS will one day have a cure. At the same time, I believe there will be untreatedable forms of AIDS because it's so successful at mutating quickly and thus adapting.

NO PROFITZ?
Hehe, many people would be willing to pay ALL their money for a cure to their cancer. As far as I'm concerned there is not a more profitable cause! The person who invents a 100% successful cancer treatment will become richer than Bill gates in a matter of weeks!
... Right now they have slightly over 50% success with chemotherapy.

Lol...ture enough.
They're actually getting into research of a pill that prevents new blood vessels from forming within tumors. You cut off the supply of blood and oxygen to the mutating cells and they die just like any regular one. I'm not sure of the finer details of the drug but that's the main gist of it.

On the other hand, if you get hit by a high-energy cosmic ray the wrong way, you're still fucked.

You watch too many movies and but into too many government conspiracy theories. This is the REAL world. If they had it, we would know.
The company that comes out with the cure will make money hand over fist, just about leveling every other pharmaceutical company out there. Capitalism works both ways, you know. Even in the strictest amoral terms, companies are just as willing to make a buck off each other as they are the consumer. If there was a cure, sooner or later, one company would come out with it and absolutely annihilate the competition. And that's if ethics aren't involved. You can't really believe that every single board member of every pharmaceutical company working ona cure for these diseases is either too evil or is being reigned in by the others.
Think you're pretty clever...

And? If you are proposing that we stand in the way of saving millions of lives due to some superstitious belief that cancer is not meant to be cured, then you really need to reexamine the position from which you look at life.
There was a chemical that seemed to kill most cancerous cells, but it was discovered long ago so no-one would be able to patent it, so no research was done.
For those of you who think a cure for cancer, HIV, or the common cold would be unprofitable, you're not thinking of the chance of reinfection. A person is going to pay considerably more for the medicine that cures them than one that just alleviates the symptoms, and if they get infected once again they're going to pay once again. Not to mention the fact that any cure is going to be, for a long time, a prescription only medicine. Since a person is going to have to wait a while before they can visit their physician, they may still seek over the counter relief for their symptoms. There's even money to be made in vaccines if they're made mandatory in some areas. We may even have people coming in for their yearly HIV booster shots some time in the future.
