Unfortunately, Warburg did get a Nobel Prize, but his work on cancer was not so
rewarded. This is one reason why the medical monopoly has been able to cover
up his data and hide the truth about cancer while they plunder us with the need
to search for a cancer "cure" and ply us with worthless and harmful treatments.

Cancer comes in two types. Natural and Induced. With the natural type,
Warburg's work holds to be valid and you can recover by restoring the oxygen
balance within the body.

With the induced type, Warburg's research will not provide relief. Here, the
DNA has been altered and some form of outside intervention will be required to
overcome the rouge cells that we call cancer.

DrC PhD

The doctor of the future will give no poisonous medicine in the vain attempt to
poison the sick into getting well.

The doctor of the future will interest the patient in the care of the human
frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease, and a medical
theory which will not include bacteria, viruses, retro-viruses, prions. or
auto-immunine excuses as the cause of any disease.

That would at least bring allopathic medicine, Western medicine, up to the
level of scientific medical data available in 1870.

What's really sad is that it's SO easy to check these things. The Nobel
Committee has a website that lists all the Nobel Laureates all the way
back to 1900 and tells what each one won the Nobel Prize for. The
information is just a click away, and yet people like Carole and Dr. C
keep spouting the same incorrect assertions again and again.

It is also factual and true.

The information was a part of my education, not the mis-education you
may have received.

Henhede did slaughter all the farm animals and have their grain made
available for the human population. Denmark did avoid the flu
pandemic of 1918-19.

Now, pray tell, why did this happen? How could it have happened?

What is true enough? That you are ignorant? I'll agree with that.

Really? Then who nominated him? And why did you keep asserting that he
had won when in fact he had not, especially since it's so easy to check

Not necessarily.

Over 90 years ago. You seem to ignore the limitations of the science of
that time and the science that has been done since that time.

Still citing 134 year old articles? My goodness, don't you realize how
much science has progressed since 1870? There were a lot of things
published in the 1800's that were later shown not to be correct. Heck,
there were a lot of things published in the 1980's that were later shown
not to be correct. Please, let us help you into the present day. You
seem stuck in the science of the 19th century. We're in the 21st century
now.

That would explain why you kept lying about Rosenow having won the Nobel
Prize until it was shown to you with definitive evidence that he did not
win the Nobel Prize, wouldn't it?

Funny how you failed to acknowledge this one the first time I and others
pointed it out to you. Only when someone on "your side" pointed it out
did you finally realize that you had to do some line rectification.

No, "induced" and sporadic cancers (sporadic is a better and more
descriptive term than "natural") ALL have genetic abnormalities that
result in incontrolled proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis.

You mean the doctor of the future will go back to medicine as it was
practiced hundreds of years ago? No thanks.

No, just not "profitable." There is no profit for a cancer answer, but tons of
money for the search for a cure and worthless treatments. All scientific, by
the way, p < .05 maybe or is that > .05?

Since you have absolutely no understanding, training, or any practical

asshole.

Your lack of a true understanding of cancer is showing.
With your lack of knowledge, you will never understand how "spontaneous
regression" can occur, why it can occur, and how to cause it to occur.

If we went back to the begining we would have to go to the 1500's when your
predessors began giving mercury to patients to "cure" them. You may have a
black bag full of more powerful and specific poisons, but you and yours are
still quacks trying to poison the sick into getting well.

Am I to believe that time can change a scientific truth to an untruth? What
does 90 years have to do with the truth. All it means to me is that you and
yours have ignored the truth for 90 years hoping it would go away. Can apples
now fall up instead of down?

And just what chance would any researcher have at getting grants and publishing
data that would destroy the pharmceutical industry and make all you brainwashed
allopths look like dumb sheep?

>Still citing 134 year old articles? My goodness, don't you realize how

As far as disease and the cause of disease, all you have done is concocted one
more excuse after another. It began with bacteria, but they can't be blamed
for many diseases. With the electron microscope came the virus ( however, with
your vaccines you can develop antibodies to the virus ) With aids came the
retro-virus ( now the antibodies mean you have the disease and will die from
it.What a change of attitude on the part of medical minds.) Now we have
prions, or "flat proteins" causing disease. Just how many dumb excuses can you
guys really come up with?

Does it ever strike you that some (but not all) of "alternative medicine"
seems to put the Golden Age in the late Victorian period? It seems part of
a larger form of alienation with modernity in American culture that
involves a nostalgia for the 1870s-1890s (some fundamentalists, for
example, will flat-out state that nobody can seriously argue that America
is a better place in 2004 than it was in 1870; that may have something to
do with the fact that American Christian fundamentalism really developed
during the late Victorian period).

I'm guessing that the root of this nostalgia is a desire to return to
"simpler" times in response to a feeling of "overchoice." Of course, the
reason those times were "simpler" was that most people's existence revolved
around basic (and not always met) survival needs. This seems to transcend
the political spectrum, though on the Left it seems mostly to take the form
of an infatuation with everything Third World and a concern that indigenous
people's ways of life not be changed (not really taking into account that
many of them *aren't* satisfied with their existing ways of life [1]) and a
sort of romanticization of poverty (as long as it's not in one's own back
yard). On the Right it seems more a yearning for the days when the man of
the house ruled it absolutely.

[1] A while back I was reading part of the debate about genetically-
modified crops. Someone who had, I believed, actually worked with poor
farmers in Africa pointed out that a lot of them wanted to start [gasp!]
spraying *chemical* [oh, the humanity!] herbicides on their crops. And the
reason was *not* that they had been seduced by the propaganda of EEVIL
Western chemical companies. It was that they wanted to have fewer kids and
send them to school rather than having lots of kids who spent all day
stooping in the fields picking weeds (this also contradicts the dogma that
high third-world birth rates are merely the result of Roman Catholic
opposition to birth control. In a society based on manual, subsistence-
level agriculture, parents have lots of kids because they need their labor
to survive. The dark side of a lot of "green" visions of the future is
that, while it's never explicitly stated, they require women to be baby
factories).

It's an age-old human behavior to harken back to the "good old days."
You'll find it in Tao Te Ching, for example. The whole Garden of Eden
idea is another example.

If it's so easy to show this "pleiomorphic bacteria" thing, and turn

Who's the arrogant asshole, the one who has actually done the hard work
and deals with cancer every day or someone like you who thinks he has
some deep understanding of how cancer works, disparages decades of
scientific progress he had nothing to do with, and, when asked to
provide evidence of his self-proclaimed "superior" understanding, hides
behind evidence-free rants about the medical profession? Whatever my
faults, I at least I know my limitations and areas of ignorance when it
comes to medicine and biology. You have no clue about yours and won't
even admit to any. Now THAT's arrogance.

No, your lack of even a rudimentary understanding of the basic biology
of cancer is showing. This is Biology 101 and Genetics 101 stuff, bud,
and your failure to grasp the basic genetic changes that occur in normal
cells to turn them cancerous is truly sad if you actually have a Ph.D.
as you claim you have. Indeed, if you truly did have a Ph.D., even if
you disagreed with these theories, you would at least understand them.
You clearly do not, which is why I highly doubt you have the degree you
claim.

You have yet to show that YOU have any such understanding. Every time
you are asked to do so, you conveniently dodge the question, usually
with more of your fact-free polemics against the medical profession
(without any evidence to back them up, of course).

You have yet to present any evidence to show YOUR alleged medicine is
superior. Again, any time you are asked to do so, you dodge the
question, hiding behind polemics against the medical profession.

Yes. Absolutely. Many are the scientific "truths" that were thought to
be very certain that have been overturned and cast aside as new evidence
is found. Geez, and you claim to have studied science! Don't you realize
that that's how science advances? Old ideas are found to be lacking when
new evidence casts doubt on them, and new ideas, ideas better supported
by the evidence rise to take their place. It happens all the time. It's
happening now.

In science, it can have everything to do with it. See above.

No, all it means is that you are clinging to outmoded scientific ideas
that may have seemed valid based on the evidence available at the time
they were in vogue but were later found to be lacking in the light of
evidence developed later.

Straw man. Such an argument assumes equivalence in the level of evidence
supporting the law of gravity and that supporting the observations and
theories you keep harping on. No such equivilency exists. However, how
about a different question? Can time flow at different rates? We now
know the answer is yes. But 100 years ago or so, such a concept was
contrary to Newtonian physics and widely derided. It took a man named
Einstein to show us differently.

A far better chance than you would have. Given how ignorant you appear
to be, YOU certainly appear to be no threat.

Nope. That's all you have done. You can't even back up your assertions
with actual data.

Wrong.

Wrong again.

Nope. People who are HIV-positive can now live a decade or more. We
don't even know how long, as protease inhibitors have only been around
less than a decade.

More like a change in the available treatments, which are now very
effective in preventing or delaying the progression from HIV infection
to full-blown AIDS.

I love letting you go on; you are far better at shooting down your own
arguments than I or anyone else could be. You can't present any evidence
to bolster your case. You repeat the same polemics and rants again and
again without evidence. And then you start simply "disbelieving"
scientific principles that have a great deal of evidence to support
them. Why? Because you don't like them.

"Dr. C" also forgets that the methods for characterizing and classifying
bacteria were much more primitive in 1914 than they are today. In 1870,
with bacteria only recently having been discovered, the methods were
more primitive still. It is quite possible that staph and strep (which
look very similar under the microscope) could be confused back then.

This is actually the fundamental reason why science isn't a belief system,
let alone "just another belief system." In science, you don't emotionally
commit yourself to certain statements as The Truth; you accept them as
provisionally correct and are willing, however painful it might be, to
change your mind if new evidence comes along.

As Isaac Asimov observed, one of the reasons so many people find
pseudoscience more attractive than real science is that the latter makes no
claims to offer certainty. And certainty is what most people want.
 
So Dr. "C', can we continue to assume "The Medical Monopoly" is composed
of individuals who personally never experience Cancer in themselves or
their families. Exactly how does this Program work? You seem to have
the Inside Dope here. How about sharing.

Sorry, but I see no progress, only more continued coverups at least as applied
to so called "medical" science.

Oh tell us. great and mighty wizzard of noz, how does Warburg's research on
cancer explain the spontaneous regression of cancer?

DrC PhD

The doctor of the future will give no poisonous medicine in the vain attempt to
poison the sick into getting well.

The doctor of the future will interest the patient in the care of the human
frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease, and a medical
theory which will not include bacteria, viruses, retro-viruses, prions. or
auto-immunine excuses as the cause of any disease.

That would at least bring allopathic medicine, Western medicine, up to the
level of scientific medical data available in 1870.
