The News

Incredible stuff gets published about cancer every day with catchy headlines. Orange juice is good for fighting cancer - the citrus growers down under are behind reports and studies concerning this. . Bees and honey are good for you ( from a croatian lot writing in some agricultural journal), sunshine is good against non-hodgkins etc etc. Look around you. There are bloody hundreds of things that will help you against cancer. Yet how come one in three of us will get it? Oh yes do try and avoid Brazil nuts this xmas. Some toxin will give you liver cancer....

Inex shares are down by a staggering 86 percent. Their main cancer drug is n0t getting fast -tracked by the FDA in the states. What kind of incentives are set up if such is the financial scenario behind cancer drugs?? I particularly mean testing and trials. Something ain't right.

Above links work at the mo. Don't know whether they will expire or not.

interesting post regarding the benefits derived from apoidia although apparently after the injection of cancer cells and later, the oral provision of honey (to mice), secondary cancers started to develop "although if given afterwards, it appeared to fuel the development of secondary cancers. "

yes the toxicity issue of therapy is the killer ( no pun intended). With ABVD its neutropenia. With radio, its dysphagia. And thats before the increased likelihood of other types of cancers etc. Bloody bind if you ask me.
