Cancer kills about 1,600 people in the United States every single day. That’s 580,350 in 2013, according to the American Cancer Society. Millions if not billions of dollars every year are funneled into cancer research, yet the issue is still growing. In many cases we know what causes cancer or what increases your risk of developing cancerous tumors, but the world has yet to see a “medically accepted” ‘cure’. Why is it that during this age of great scientific strides and bright minds we can’t find a solution? Put simply: because the system won’t allow a “cure” to be found.Cancer, though a crushing and heartbreaking disease to so many patients, friends, and families globally, is money in the bank to Big Pharma. These giant corporations post significant earnings for every case of cancer they can drag out. The longer they keep someone on their cancer-treating drugs, the more money they make. If they were to actually cure the disease—as with so many other diseases—their profits would take a considerable hit.
Mainstream medicine would label me crazy for talking this way, but Big Pharma has proven time and time again that profits, not patients, are their number one concern. Even the American Cancer Society accepts multimillion dollar contributions from pharmaceutical companies like AstraZeneca. Astrazeneca, in turn, influcnes virtually everything that the ACS does. Almost all ‘awareness’ attempts focus almost exclusively on mammography and don’t mention a word about carcinogenic foods, chemtrails, aluminum in deodorants, antiperspirants, as well as vaccines. There is no spoken word of breast cancer prevention via natural, inexpensive means, while touting the ‘cure’ of mammography and cancer drugs.
While there is not a universal cure for breast cancer, some patients have entered long-term and even lifelong periods of remission, giving hope to others who struggle with the disease. With new, promising treatment options being studied every day, there is always a chance that a cure for breast cancer can be found. The Breast Cancer Society is one of many organizations devoting a large amount of money and time to the search for a cure. - See more at: http://www.breastcancersociety.org/aboutbreastcancer/treatment/cureforbreastcancer/#sthash.xv30opzk.dpuf
Some cases of breast cancer are treated well with surgery. Patients with stages I or II breast cancer who undergo surgery to remove tumors are often able to forego drug and radiation treatments that can cause unwanted side effects. While any surgery can be scary, it sometimes offers a better option. The idea of a mastectomy–the complete removal of the breast–may be daunting for some women, but is often called for in cases when the patient is at risk for a recurrence of cancer. For some patients, a physician may prescribe small regimens of chemo or radiation to supplement surgery for even stage 0 or I breast cancer. Finding your own treatment plan can only be determined after a thorough consultation with your doctor. - See more at: http://www.breastcancersociety.org/aboutbreastcancer/treatment/cureforbreastcancer/#sthash.doi8akTa.dpuf
Dr. Evangelos Michelakis at the University of Alberta, talks about a drug called DCA that has been found to reduce the size of cancerous tumors. Dr. Dario Alterieri from the University of Massachusetts agrees that it should be tested for side effects and safety issues.
However, since there is no patent, no pharmaceutical company can own this drug and drug companies will not bring it out on the market or conduct studies, due to the fact that they can't make profit off a drug that can be inexpensively produced.
There are many reasons why normal cells may turn to cancer cells – and some of these reasons you can do nothing about. However, there are lots of things you can do to live more healthily and cut your cancer risk:

There are many reasons why normal cells may turn to cancer cells – and some of these reasons you can do nothing about. However, there are lots of things you can do to live more healthily and cut your cancer risk:
- do not smoke or use tobacco in any form Tobacco definitely causes cancer. Smoking (especially cigarettes) is a well-known cause of lung cancer. Smoke can also get into other body organs; there is a link between smoking and cancer of the mouth, larynx (voice box), pharynx, oesophagus (gullet), stomach, bladder, kidney, pancreas, liver and cervix.
Chewing tobacco and using snuff are also dangerous. They can cause cancers of the mouth and face.
For advice on giving up smoking, try the UK charity QUIT. Our help and support section also has details of local smoking cessation services.
- eat healthily People who eat a lot of fat and meat – especially red meat - seem more likely to get certain cancers (such as bowel cancer), so cutting down on these foods makes good sense. We also believe that eating more fruit and vegetables helps to protect against cancer.
- maintain a healthy body weight and keep active Being very underweight or overweight increases your cancer risk. A sensible diet and some exercise will help to keep you at the right weight.
- don’t drink too much alcohol Some types of cancer are more common in heavy drinkers. These include cancers of the liver, throat, oesophagus (gullet) and mouth. People who smoke and drink a lot are even more at risk.
- protect yourself in the sun Most skin cancers are caused by being out in the sun (or on a sunbed) too much. You can protect yourself by using a high factor suncream and by covering yourself up when the sun is strong.
- take care at work If you are exposed to certain substances or chemicals (for example asbestos, benzidene, arsenic) you are more likely to get cancer. Protect yourself by following all the health and safety rules.
- get to know your body, and watch out for changes For example, you can examine your breasts regularly for lumps or thickening, and for puckering skin and other changes. Men can check their testicles for lumps.
Changes like these may be early signs of cancer. The sooner a cancer is found, the better the chance of a cure.
- take part in screening tests If you’re a woman you should have regular cervical smear tests, as well as mammograms (breast x-rays) if you are over 50.
Screening tests help to find cancer early. Smear tests can even spot danger cells before they turn into cancer. There are no screening programmes available for other cancers, unless you are part of a family that has a history of cancer. Trials are now under way to find out whether screening for ovarian, bowel and prostate cancer is worthwhile.
