I respectfully must admit that I don't understand this logic. In which countries are the inexpensive cures for cancer being used?
I think it's going to take a lot more research, not less, before this terrible disease is fully understood. Radiation and chemo are awful to go through--Ravenbeauty herself is suffering now because of the radiation used to treat her first bout of cancer. No wonder she is wary of it. But researchers are making progress towards a cure, and people don't go into research science for the money (my hubby is a scientist). I'm a supporter of alternative and integrative therapies too, BTW. I think people see all the suffering and dying from cancer (and cancer treatments) and then think that the Western scientific research approach is culpable. I don't think it is. Discoveries are being made but it's a long, slow process. As one example, Caltech engineer Dr. Mark Davis saw his wife suffering from terrible side effects, even deafness, from her chemo for breast cancer. Luckily, she's cancer free now, and he has been motivated to see if nanotechnology can cure breast cancer without all the suffering. His methods are now being tested in trials to see if they will work.
