If you knew of a system that help people heal from cancer would you tel ll where to get it?

For example there is a research project and you knew the results were great would you tell anyone. Or would try to profit from their illness like these new ago people do.

First I'd like to address the paranoid thinking of some of the above posters. This'll only take a second.

First off, the Healthcare system is made up of PEOPLE. Dudes. Chicks. People who are just as prone to cancer as their neighbor... or their very own families and loved ones. To lump all doctors, nurses, caregivers, and drug companies together and give them one title is creative thinking at its destructive worst. And if it aims for truthfulness, it misses shamefully. Considering that a statistical one out of four people (including health care workers, folks!) will have their lives touched by cancer (either themselves, or someone close to them)--and drug companies don't get return sales from dead people--even if you bought into the twisted thinking so prevailant amoung "alternative" health enthusiasts, you'd have to realize that a true cure-all drug for cancer would actually give many in the health industry an early retirement. There are an estimated seven billion people walking the planet today. If one in four has a brush with cancer--and, for the sake of keeping the math easy--one in TEN actually get it, that means drug sales to 70 million people. And since there are hundreds of known cancers, chances are some of the ones who recovered the first time around will be back with something different next time. So tell me again how a cure would cost the drug companies money? And it isn't the govenment holding back a cure, either: who do you think pays more taxes? Someone who's alive, or someone who died of cancer? I guess the greed theory isn't really a "theory" after all, is it?

NOW. I, myself, underwent a clinical trial involving what is refered to as a "mini" bone marrow transplant, and as a result am in remission and recovering quite nicely. This trial took place at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and was overseen by Dr. Paul O'Donnell. (Dr. O'Donnell lost his wife to cancer, a fact proving my point yet again about how the Big Bad Healthcare Industry is actually made up of ordinary people--not Micheal Moore-styled monsters.) Now I tell anyone who will listen about checking into clinical trials to advance our knowledge of cancers, as well as discovering less toxic ways of treating it. So yes, if I knew of a system that would help, I'd sing.

By the way... has anyone heard of financial aid? Has anyone talked to hospital social workers? Might want to, before you go telling people that they can't afford healthcare. Even corporations like Microsoft donate millions every year for aiding cancer patients. You'd also be amazed how much your hospital might write off because you are in an income bracket too low for the medical bills you've racked up. To get help, all you've got to do is ask. To simply assume you can't get treatment is to allow yourself to die not from cancer... but from pessimism.
