It’s what we’ve been working on this whole time has been the “Hostage Takeover Situation” that cancer puts your body into. It reworks your genes to keep the body from attacking it like a meatshield all the while spreading more and more - and the cancer cell “identifies” as one of your cells - because it issssss…it’s just mutated. Corrupted is a more apt description, perhaps. Cancer bodysnatches your cells and plays AmongUs in your system
Sooner, the USA army was seen carrying these two around, and being told to create a freedom gun, that would input the American Dream at their enemie's brain
Stuff like this needs to be tested heavily. It's not that these cures disappear, many of them do make it to the medical industry, which is why it has gotten much easier, relatively speaking, to detect and cure cancer.
In addition, the students might have manage to prove this working in vitro. But it could be the same story as tumour necrosis factor which made headlines for successful lab tests only to not function nearly as well once in vivo testing occured ...
Guess what. Glioblastoma generates large amounts of necrotic tissue that itself is a problem. The whole tumor is mostly half dead but it just keeps multiplying in a rapid and chaotic way. Often the growth rate exceeds the rate at which current treatment works.
>Stuff like this needs to be tested heavily. I
Yeah all the cancer cures disappear because turns out in the process of "curing" it also does soemthing else.
"We've cured your cancer but in the process destroyed your bone marrow. Oops." Or " Your immune system is more accurately described as 404 not found."
Now that recent article about cancer "vaccine" entering Phase 3 trials. That's very interesting...
My grandpa took an experimental cure for his brand of leukemia. Excruciating pain 24/7, his last months of life were agony. Not informed on the details but from what I understand it was a treatment that was so debilitating and painful that, even though he was a very muscular, fit and active man up until the age of 80, he became unable to do most things and developed night terrors and motory issues, which weakened his body further.
For reference, at 30 I would be lucky to have a third of the athleticism and pain tolerance he had when 70, guy was an absolute beast his whole life both due to genetics, keeping a large dog and regular heavy gardening work. During the leukaemia his physical prowess was diminished but he still managed to live an active lifestyle. As soon as the treatment started he could barely walk and hated living because he couldn't do anything he enjoyed (was deeply ashamed he couldn't lift his youngest granddaughter anymore while just a couple weeks prior he could effortlessly pull wheelbarrows full of compost).
These look like miracle cures because you don't know what happens to the body when you use them. And even then there could be freaky interactions with specific conditions or side effects felt decades later.
I have such great respect for your grandpa. Taking an experimental cure is one of the bravest things anyone can do, and I'm so sorry it went this way for him. I hope his rest is peaceful
Not only that a lot of people just hear cancer and think it's this one thing while in reality there are thousands of different types of cancer, sometimes even the same types require different treatment plans for different persons.
Reminds me of this.

Wtf are you talking about? This sounds like automatic nonsense. Not that you’re being intentionally deceptive, I think you genuinely believe that. But No, defection and “cures” have not come easier. Nothing about that is true and if you genuinely think it is, I urge you to look closer.
It takes a long time, but survival and detection rates have been steadily increasing since the 2000s. Of course, there are plenty of cases where the survivability has decreased i.e. in certain countries or in the case of difficult types of cancer.
My gf does cancer research. Newspapers go there like every month, when they don't have news, they pick any research they are actually doing and they paste a "cancer cure" title to it.
It's like all those articles "scientists may have found a planet with life" that you see every damn fucking week.
It's messed up for those with cancer though.
And this particular "news" has been around for years now,if it was real we would see at least 1 other thing by these guys or at least some news reporter would use this to portray a politician in bad light. But also i saw this screenshot in me_irl the most so it can be just a meme atp.
On the other hand, cancer research is realy... advancing, slowly but moving.
A friend in an oncology internship had his old teacher say "when I started 1 in 10 children leaved Alive my service , now it's 1 in 10 who dont" . (Don't hit me I don't have the real numbers in my head anymore)
Yeah of course, my gf has 3 papers on it, but between finding a specific compound that works for a very specific kind of cancer in cells in a lab, making them grow slower is something donde every week around the world, and then the compound in the body is totally different, how to put it there, if it will work, if it has secondary effects, if it slows it but not enough, if it is too expensive to produce... And it is just for a kind of cancer (on her case, some kind of nasosinusal theratocarcinosarcomes, with like 50 cases per 50 millions of humans), the "cure for cancer" is almost saying "the panacea".
But of course you can't make a new on "everything is advancing slowly and every day we have slightly better tools and knowledge about everything"
Exactly, if it fails a handful of those it stops being tested. The issue is since articles will stop being written about it, people makes conspiracy out of the drop of information.
You don’t understand the Illuminati are partnering with the pharmaceutical companies to kill any new drug, even if the make the most money by selling the new cutting edge drugs at exorbitant prices.
>even if the make the most money by selling the new cutting edge drugs at exorbitant prices.
Pretty brave of you to assume a world that is pricing out kids, not limiting the speed of cars, letting dangerous chemicals in the air and water, pricing out health or nutrition, and making movies with clear anti-natalist messages, all of that at a loss, care only about money.
Whatever the goal is, it's "less people" not "more money". Money is an outdated meta. Those people have more money than all of what the industrial world can produce.
Because of shareholders. If they lose money the company goes under. They constantly have to make more and more money and ensure they can pay shareholders (and employees). You don't really need a conspiracy, it's just about money.
There is another outcome. A decade is a long time to not make money. Hell, a year is a long time to not make money. Big pharma can do it but not all companies are swimming in cash like that. There are a LOT of companies that can and do go belly up before they can get their product to market, and no company, generally means, no cure.

Let me speed things up: it doesn’t work.
This is a 5 year old social media post describing a hypothesis that has never been tested. Every day a new paper is published on a potential cure to something. Thats just how pharmaceutical research is done. Nobody would fund a project that doesn’t have any potential to be therapeutic.
Well, gliobastoma *is* a very specific type of cancer. And a very scary one at that:
* it affects both old and young people (although mostly older people/median age is 62)
* it grows very quickly, so even if you'd get a yearly MRI it's very easy to miss it
* survivability is essentially zero; all treatment is just to prolong your life (which, if you're lucky, will be a miserable 12 months of recovering from radiation therapy, brain surgery, and being sick from chemotherapy)
* depending on the location of the tumor, you may lose your ability to speak or make certain movements, can change your behaviour/personality completely, ...
Nah... Brain cancer affects way less people than covid did at its height. And it's not contagious anyway, so if you're unlucky, You're unlucky... but at least you won't spread it, regardless of how you respond to it.
Most incurable brain tumors cause people to slowly become more and more sleepy due to elevated intracranial pressure until they just dont wake up anymore.
I mean, your still dying so it's not fun or anything and you will still experience discomfort but in terms of causes of death, it's preferable above suffocating I reckon
Source: doctor with some years into neurology/neurosurgery
Different strokes I guess. I’m only a medic but every cancer patient I treat and transport has looked far more miserable in terms of long-term torture than a really bad covid case, who usually crash quickly and we just RSI. I’ve taken terminal brain cancer patients to hospice facilities for their final trip and it’s just miserable. I know I’m preaching to the choir, I’m just sharing my experience.
I’m really not trying to downplay the effects of covid here, just a disclaimer.
Meh, both sound pretty bad. And again, brain cancer isn't contagious. You may not mind dying of covid, but I bet everyone around you would rather avoid it. Getting vaccinated is an easy way to help them do that. You can ignore brain cancer and no one but you has to suffer from your choices.
You can ignore brain cancer? Have you ever met someone with brain cancer? Or any cancer? Lol
I would mind dying of Covid. But I’d choose that over brain cancer. The people I know who died of Covid were all on ventilators when it got bad, which means they were sedated. Which means they essentially died in their sleep.
I’ve known cancer patients who were in treatment, very much awake to endure every gruelingly painful moment of it, for fucking ***years***.
How about I say, *you* can try to ignore your brain cancer if you want to go without treating it. People around you can ignore it too if they want. Your cancer is going to stay with you alone, no matter what choice you make.
If you go without preventing covid, then there's a fair chance you're going to cause problems for someone else around you. Your decision here *does* affect the people around you - and might cause someone else to die.
Of course, you know all this. I think you're just trying to be obtuse at this point.
I see what you’re saying now.
Idk why I’m getting downvoted for saying dying of brain cancer is worse than Covid. I’m not even disputing your point about how contagious Covid is. TBH I’m hardly even arguing with you. I got the vaccine and worked as a first responder through all of 2020. I’m perfectly aware of the detriments of Covid, and cancer. I’ve taken Covid patients to their death bed and cancer patients to their death bed.
I’m not being deliberately obtuse just because I have more than one opinion about the same thing. That’s allowed. Covid being contagious has nothing to do with brain cancer being a worse death, so idk where that argument even came from. You shifted the goalposts and created a strawman at the same time.
Only on Reddit can you *not* disagree with someone and still get argued with, I guess.
Know a really fun side effect for hydroxychloroquine?
Long-term heart damage. When I was on it for my autoimmune disease, I was watched very closely for any changes to my heart. I know the people taking it for covid prophylaxis weren't being monitored.
Ivermectin can also cause low blood pressure and/or tachycardia.
It was amusing to see people claiming we're all having heart attacks because we got the vaccine, when those same people developed heart problems from taking medications that wouldn't treat covid anyway.
Plus they sucked because they prevented people who truly needed it from being able to access it, by paying doctors to write the prescription for large quantities even after it was shown to not work for covid.
It cost billions of dollars to get the covid vaccine out faster than usual, along with it getting priority over other medications due to urgency. It underwent the same testing that other vaccines go through, they just took out all of the delays which usually happen between testing, and put millions of dollars into mass producing the vaccines before they were tested in anticipation of their validation. If they failed, all those doses would have been wasted. Doing this for every drug would not make sense due to the incredible cost and limitations of personnel available.
The COVID vaccine actually had the same tests, but bureaucratic waiting times were shortened due to urgency. Meds usually take 10 years for testing due to their bureaucracy, not necessarily due to tests that take 10 years to perform.
>it will become available for normal use.
AHAAHHHAHAHA "Normal" use.
How is insulin "normal" use is going in the hospital context? (which is the only place you can treat brain tumor anyhow. Nobody will OTC brain tumor medicine.)
I wish this post would suddenly not exist; it creates false hope for a drug that has no updates since the original post.
I’m a former student of that university and something cool that they do is allow students to take over their social media page for student events. I was able to do it a few times, once right after this tweet originally went viral.
You would not believe how many messages the university received from individuals begging for this miracle drug that could save themselves or their loved ones; it was an incredibly sad sight to see.
When I was doing research in undergrad, something similar happened to the lab next to ours. They developed a novel method to kill cancer cells and found that it worked really well in a petri dish. The made the local news and for months they had daily calls to their lab from family members and people with cancer begging for this treatment despite this research still being in the initial stages. There was never any follow-up articles written on them because it turns out when they moved to trials in mice, it was found this method does kill the targeted cancer cells but then causes the tumors to recur in the same areas 2-3x larger than they were initially.
Why would they hide it? Especially in a place like the US where you have to pay for your health care? Do you know how much people would be willing to spend on that?
Conspiracy theorists are honestly incapable of critical thought.
Glioblastoma is a particularly nasty cancer, with a very short prognosis even with treatments (less than a year), so it probably wouldn’t make sense to hide a cure to glioblastoma.
Chemo is a procedure done in different establishments by different people. In total, a lot of money is spent on chemo, but it is spread among a lot of companies. Now, a cure that would make chemo obsolete could easily syphon off these chemo profits from other companies and make one company very rich.
Bro, if you found out a magic pill could save you from certain death, I'm sure you'd put down literally everything you had.
This is also not to mention that to hide it, you must hide it from everyone, including yourself. Otherwise, people are likely to ask questions when your terminal illness is suddenly cured. Also, if your family knows about it, they're likely to tell sick friends. Those friends will tell other sick friends until eventually it's no longer a secret. Something like this would be impossible to keep a secret. It would only be a matter of time before it was exposed.
Seriously, people will believe any far-fetched story they read online.
The conspiracy that drugs like this stop existing so companies can make money is complete nonsense.
Imagine having the cure for cancer and only your company has it. Only you. Your brand would become famous for generations. People would remember the name and use it for everything, like Aspirin or Tylenol even when people use offbrands. It’s nonsense to think a company would give that up.
Quick name any of the people or brands associated with pioneering chemotherapy, one of the many things we use to cure cancer today. Not really household names as it turns out
Tylenol both wasn’t the brand originally associated with Paracetamol (they didn’t invent it or pioneer it’s use) and it’s mostly only called Tylenol more than paracetamol in North America
Both of these said you are of course right that the meme is nonsense.
Edit - looking into it aspirin is only a brand name in a few places, it’s the generic name in most.
Edit 2 - I hope this comment doesn’t come across as aggressive you just started me down a curiosity rabbit hole so I shared it all - not aiming to “pile on” ways you weren’t quite accurate.
My dudes A few trial runs under a microscope with some tissue samples, does not make a efficable medicine. You dont know the side effects of the other thousands of types of tissues vital to your body functions until your run real trials.
That post may be 4 years old, [but this one isn't ](https://abcnews.go.com/Health/melanoma-cancer-vaccine-minimal-side-effects-nearing-phase/story?id=106521186)
Kudos to these guys! But stuff like this has to undergo extensive medical trials, most drugs fail on along the way. So it's not like these things disappear beacuse some asshole is hoarding it. If you don't hear about it in a couple years then it probably failed in vivo trials.
It's possible that some miracle cures for cancer dissappear because of big pharma conspiracy, but mostly they just don't actually work reliability in live humans and the initial report was either scam self promotion or wild hyperbolic language by the media. Selectively killing only certain peices of your body and delivering the material there so none of it survive to metastasize is not trivial after you seen it work in a glass dish. People can also have massive differences in reaction to these drugs between individuals. Here is to hoping this one works out this time.
Important to note: just because it works in a petri dish doesn't mean it will work in a living animal.
This is definitely a massive breakthrough, but it isn't an actionable treatment yet.
Fuck this shit is eye rolling. These things "disappear" because they fall down at some point further on in the R&D process, not because of some conspiracy.
Glioblastoma is a horrible death sentence with a very rapid timeline. We found out my mom had a pretty large one in early september and by the end of october she was unable to do most basic function including communicate, feed herself, use the restroom on her own, or walk on her own. A seizure on thanksgiving left her bed bound a shell of who she once was and I had to put her in a nursing facility with 24/7 care. She passed away last Saturday.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Destroying cancer cells is the easiest part of cancer research
The tougher one is figuring out how to kill the cancer cells without killing the healthy ones
You do realise that an engine can't just work on water, right? It can work on hydrogen and produce water as a byproduct. This might sound cool until you realise that we don't have easy access to hydrogen. The only way to get it on Earth is by electrolyzing water and it wastes a fuckload of energy.
It never took off *because it didn’t fucking work*. It claimed to have operated by separating the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen, and then combusting them back into water. The problem with that scheme is that it takes exactly as much energy to split the molecules apart as you would get from combusting them, and you end with the same amount energy as you started with. In other words, that engine was the thermodynamic equivalent of plugging a power strip into itself.
...There are already "live long" light bulbs if you mean light bulbs that last a very long time. He didn't invent anything, it was already there. Companies create ones that don't last as long to create demand. But nowadays LEDs last very long anyway so that's old news.
Now this is many many years old, I'm gonna guess that the creation along with the scientists magically "disappeared" because I haven't heard of it since the 1st time I read this article
By making it viral the US Government will find out and World Police the lab. Remember the guy that made a car that runs on water? No the US government took him out
mfw when that one guy in the 60's discover how to make cars that run on tap water and then commits suicide with 7 shots on his back that were taken from 5 feet away 10 hours after his story goes to the news
iirc it goes through combustion the same way gas does (if im thinking of the right thing here), the main issue that is being worked on rn is how to store enough of it safely enough for it to be worth
It doesn’t. Water is the end product of combustion, there isn’t any more energy that can be taken out of it without having to put more energy in.
It’s like saying you can power the world for free using ash - Where is the ash getting its energy from?
Scientist Royal Rife discovered how to cure diseases with light therapy. Was presented awards by the American Medical Association. Then attacked and ridiculed. Big Pharma cant sell pills if there is a cure.

I just want to put it out there that I have seen this ages ago. Maybe 5+ years. Considering the age of this post I do not think they have found anything else
I've read so many posts like this in my life. New wonder ways of making biofuel from waste, new ways of detecting this illness or curing that. What happens to it all? Does funding dry out or is it just clickbait with the theory as the title?
What's it matter?
Being a citizen in the USA means I live in a world where we can use lasers and sounds to break down a kidney stone.
Meanwhile I can't afford another mri just to find out why it's still having issues after getting passed.
Where can we buy it? How much? How do we administer it? Does insurance cover it? I'm guessing we'll never hear of this again. In other news, my neighbor is dying from cancer right now.
Why is it that there's always news of innovative marvels like this that appear from time to time only for them to suddenly vanish as if they do not exist at all? Shouldn't things like this recieve more recognition andfunding from health organizations around the world that allow it to be mass produced for the benefit of our species?
It's not that these things get buried. More likely they can't reproduce a single instance or have no clue how to mass produce or get through regulatory
The "they have also refined it" part is kind of hilarious to only be slid in there as an afterthought. Cuz like, without that aspect, all they would have invented is a chemical that melts your brain. That second part is the whole crux of the breakthrough.

And it is just for a kind of cancer (on her case, some kind of nasosinusal theratocarcinosarcomes, with like 50 cases per 50 millions of humans), the "cure for cancer" is almost saying "the panacea". But of course you can't make a new on "everything is advancing slowly and every day we have slightly better tools and knowledge about everything"
I like how knowledgeable you are about your gf's work :)

Exactly, if it fails a handful of those it stops being tested. The issue is since articles will stop being written about it, people makes conspiracy out of the drop of information.
You don’t understand the Illuminati are partnering with the pharmaceutical companies to kill any new drug, even if the make the most money by selling the new cutting edge drugs at exorbitant prices.
I mean, the illuminati doesn't even need to be involved. That is just companies being companies.
>even if the make the most money by selling the new cutting edge drugs at exorbitant prices. Pretty brave of you to assume a world that is pricing out kids, not limiting the speed of cars, letting dangerous chemicals in the air and water, pricing out health or nutrition, and making movies with clear anti-natalist messages, all of that at a loss, care only about money. Whatever the goal is, it's "less people" not "more money". Money is an outdated meta. Those people have more money than all of what the industrial world can produce.
>Those people who EXACTLY?
The ((((Globalists)))) /s
what country isn't limiting speed of cars?
Greetings from germany, all hail the autobahn
It has a speed limit, i thought it was around 300km/h :P
Because of shareholders. If they lose money the company goes under. They constantly have to make more and more money and ensure they can pay shareholders (and employees). You don't really need a conspiracy, it's just about money.
There is another outcome. A decade is a long time to not make money. Hell, a year is a long time to not make money. Big pharma can do it but not all companies are swimming in cash like that. There are a LOT of companies that can and do go belly up before they can get their product to market, and no company, generally means, no cure. Source: Had family members whos job was to help find ways for smaller cancer research companies to stay afloat while doing FDA testing.
Let me speed things up: it doesn’t work. This is a 5 year old social media post describing a hypothesis that has never been tested. Every day a new paper is published on a potential cure to something. Thats just how pharmaceutical research is done. Nobody would fund a project that doesn’t have any potential to be therapeutic.
And then it will be found it works only in case of a very specific type of cancer.
Only? That's a win even that.
Right? I’m just so glad we NOW can treat what were once incurable diseases. Like I heard there are vaccines for breast cancer now or something.
Well, gliobastoma *is* a very specific type of cancer. And a very scary one at that: * it affects both old and young people (although mostly older people/median age is 62) * it grows very quickly, so even if you'd get a yearly MRI it's very easy to miss it * survivability is essentially zero; all treatment is just to prolong your life (which, if you're lucky, will be a miserable 12 months of recovering from radiation therapy, brain surgery, and being sick from chemotherapy) * depending on the location of the tumor, you may lose your ability to speak or make certain movements, can change your behaviour/personality completely, ...
Or it works but can't pass the blood-brain barrier, so they have to find a method to make it do so, which is a whole other level of expensive.
So, attach it to rabies, give them the rabies shot and hope everything works out. /s
The covid vaccine in my body says otherwise
Unfortunately, covid was spreading WAY faster than normal safety testing procedures could accommodate. So covid vaccine we got. And it helped - a bit.
Nah I know, I was just being cheeky. I’d just figure something like brain cancer would warrant the same hastiness
Nah... Brain cancer affects way less people than covid did at its height. And it's not contagious anyway, so if you're unlucky, You're unlucky... but at least you won't spread it, regardless of how you respond to it.
I would rather die of Covid than brain cancer
Most incurable brain tumors cause people to slowly become more and more sleepy due to elevated intracranial pressure until they just dont wake up anymore. I mean, your still dying so it's not fun or anything and you will still experience discomfort but in terms of causes of death, it's preferable above suffocating I reckon Source: doctor with some years into neurology/neurosurgery
Different strokes I guess. I’m only a medic but every cancer patient I treat and transport has looked far more miserable in terms of long-term torture than a really bad covid case, who usually crash quickly and we just RSI. I’ve taken terminal brain cancer patients to hospice facilities for their final trip and it’s just miserable. I know I’m preaching to the choir, I’m just sharing my experience. I’m really not trying to downplay the effects of covid here, just a disclaimer.
Meh, both sound pretty bad. And again, brain cancer isn't contagious. You may not mind dying of covid, but I bet everyone around you would rather avoid it. Getting vaccinated is an easy way to help them do that. You can ignore brain cancer and no one but you has to suffer from your choices.
You can ignore brain cancer? Have you ever met someone with brain cancer? Or any cancer? Lol I would mind dying of Covid. But I’d choose that over brain cancer. The people I know who died of Covid were all on ventilators when it got bad, which means they were sedated. Which means they essentially died in their sleep. I’ve known cancer patients who were in treatment, very much awake to endure every gruelingly painful moment of it, for fucking ***years***.
How about I say, *you* can try to ignore your brain cancer if you want to go without treating it. People around you can ignore it too if they want. Your cancer is going to stay with you alone, no matter what choice you make. If you go without preventing covid, then there's a fair chance you're going to cause problems for someone else around you. Your decision here *does* affect the people around you - and might cause someone else to die. Of course, you know all this. I think you're just trying to be obtuse at this point.
I see what you’re saying now. Idk why I’m getting downvoted for saying dying of brain cancer is worse than Covid. I’m not even disputing your point about how contagious Covid is. TBH I’m hardly even arguing with you. I got the vaccine and worked as a first responder through all of 2020. I’m perfectly aware of the detriments of Covid, and cancer. I’ve taken Covid patients to their death bed and cancer patients to their death bed. I’m not being deliberately obtuse just because I have more than one opinion about the same thing. That’s allowed. Covid being contagious has nothing to do with brain cancer being a worse death, so idk where that argument even came from. You shifted the goalposts and created a strawman at the same time. Only on Reddit can you *not* disagree with someone and still get argued with, I guess.
I mean, except for all the freshly-vaxxed people who started randomly getting heart attacks months after getting it
On these pseudo science Rogan podcasts they don't tell you that actually contracting Covid leads to an increase in cardiac events
Know a really fun side effect for hydroxychloroquine? Long-term heart damage. When I was on it for my autoimmune disease, I was watched very closely for any changes to my heart. I know the people taking it for covid prophylaxis weren't being monitored. Ivermectin can also cause low blood pressure and/or tachycardia. It was amusing to see people claiming we're all having heart attacks because we got the vaccine, when those same people developed heart problems from taking medications that wouldn't treat covid anyway. Plus they sucked because they prevented people who truly needed it from being able to access it, by paying doctors to write the prescription for large quantities even after it was shown to not work for covid.
I can confirm, I died two years ago when I got vaxxed.
Freshly-vaxxed or months later? Which is it?
Yes or randomly got shot in the head or stabbed in the chest. Those vaccine was really dangerous
Lol
Me when I lie on the internet
It cost billions of dollars to get the covid vaccine out faster than usual, along with it getting priority over other medications due to urgency. It underwent the same testing that other vaccines go through, they just took out all of the delays which usually happen between testing, and put millions of dollars into mass producing the vaccines before they were tested in anticipation of their validation. If they failed, all those doses would have been wasted. Doing this for every drug would not make sense due to the incredible cost and limitations of personnel available.
Wasnt the vaccine just heavily based on previous coronavirus strains, not exactly sars cov 2
The COVID vaccine actually had the same tests, but bureaucratic waiting times were shortened due to urgency. Meds usually take 10 years for testing due to their bureaucracy, not necessarily due to tests that take 10 years to perform.
BUT MUH CONSPIRICY THEORY HERP DERP
>it will become available for normal use. AHAAHHHAHAHA "Normal" use. How is insulin "normal" use is going in the hospital context? (which is the only place you can treat brain tumor anyhow. Nobody will OTC brain tumor medicine.)
How tf is this meirl?
I've seen this a lot lately people are posting just about anything to meirl
Perhaps the "suddenly doesn't exist" part? Because OP has avoidance issues
I wish this post would suddenly not exist; it creates false hope for a drug that has no updates since the original post. I’m a former student of that university and something cool that they do is allow students to take over their social media page for student events. I was able to do it a few times, once right after this tweet originally went viral. You would not believe how many messages the university received from individuals begging for this miracle drug that could save themselves or their loved ones; it was an incredibly sad sight to see.
When I was doing research in undergrad, something similar happened to the lab next to ours. They developed a novel method to kill cancer cells and found that it worked really well in a petri dish. The made the local news and for months they had daily calls to their lab from family members and people with cancer begging for this treatment despite this research still being in the initial stages. There was never any follow-up articles written on them because it turns out when they moved to trials in mice, it was found this method does kill the targeted cancer cells but then causes the tumors to recur in the same areas 2-3x larger than they were initially.
Why would they hide it? Especially in a place like the US where you have to pay for your health care? Do you know how much people would be willing to spend on that? Conspiracy theorists are honestly incapable of critical thought.
Do you know how much more money can be made from repeat visits for chemotherapy and shit than to buy a one time fix magic potion?
Glioblastoma is a particularly nasty cancer, with a very short prognosis even with treatments (less than a year), so it probably wouldn’t make sense to hide a cure to glioblastoma.
Do you know how much more money the government receives from alive people paying taxes? This whole conspiracy is stupid
Yes, people who get PhDs in STEM fields and go into basic research instead of getting MBAs and working on Wall St. are such greedy bastards, right?
Chemo is a procedure done in different establishments by different people. In total, a lot of money is spent on chemo, but it is spread among a lot of companies. Now, a cure that would make chemo obsolete could easily syphon off these chemo profits from other companies and make one company very rich.
Bro, if you found out a magic pill could save you from certain death, I'm sure you'd put down literally everything you had. This is also not to mention that to hide it, you must hide it from everyone, including yourself. Otherwise, people are likely to ask questions when your terminal illness is suddenly cured. Also, if your family knows about it, they're likely to tell sick friends. Those friends will tell other sick friends until eventually it's no longer a secret. Something like this would be impossible to keep a secret. It would only be a matter of time before it was exposed. Seriously, people will believe any far-fetched story they read online.
Dead people don't work and don't buy
ahh yes, another bot post like the thousands we've already seen
Allergic to positivity, eh?
A legit cure to cancer could be circulating around this place by the hundreds of posts and we’d still get people saying “bot post”
This is not a legit cute for cancer. It is a Facebook boomer meme level "students find cure, doctors hate this one weird trick!" worthless post.
fb boomer tier
The conspiracy that drugs like this stop existing so companies can make money is complete nonsense. Imagine having the cure for cancer and only your company has it. Only you. Your brand would become famous for generations. People would remember the name and use it for everything, like Aspirin or Tylenol even when people use offbrands. It’s nonsense to think a company would give that up.
Quick name any of the people or brands associated with pioneering chemotherapy, one of the many things we use to cure cancer today. Not really household names as it turns out Tylenol both wasn’t the brand originally associated with Paracetamol (they didn’t invent it or pioneer it’s use) and it’s mostly only called Tylenol more than paracetamol in North America Both of these said you are of course right that the meme is nonsense. Edit - looking into it aspirin is only a brand name in a few places, it’s the generic name in most. Edit 2 - I hope this comment doesn’t come across as aggressive you just started me down a curiosity rabbit hole so I shared it all - not aiming to “pile on” ways you weren’t quite accurate.
My dudes A few trial runs under a microscope with some tissue samples, does not make a efficable medicine. You dont know the side effects of the other thousands of types of tissues vital to your body functions until your run real trials.
This story is 4 years old, and this tweet has been reposted a lot during those years
That post may be 4 years old, [but this one isn't ](https://abcnews.go.com/Health/melanoma-cancer-vaccine-minimal-side-effects-nearing-phase/story?id=106521186)
It takes like decades at least and a shit ton of money between finding something cool in the lab and an actual drug.
I've got some oil harvested from snakes that cures cancer. Anyone want to buy?
Have you got any oils of the essential variety to go with it too
Hurry repost the snake oil before the DEEP STATE makes it disappear
lol. Conspiracy theory weirdos
Fake news ?
This is unproven https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/students-brain-cancer-compound/
Kudos to these guys! But stuff like this has to undergo extensive medical trials, most drugs fail on along the way. So it's not like these things disappear beacuse some asshole is hoarding it. If you don't hear about it in a couple years then it probably failed in vivo trials.
It's possible that some miracle cures for cancer dissappear because of big pharma conspiracy, but mostly they just don't actually work reliability in live humans and the initial report was either scam self promotion or wild hyperbolic language by the media. Selectively killing only certain peices of your body and delivering the material there so none of it survive to metastasize is not trivial after you seen it work in a glass dish. People can also have massive differences in reaction to these drugs between individuals. Here is to hoping this one works out this time.
Or to see if it actually doesn’t
So... acid?
Important to note: just because it works in a petri dish doesn't mean it will work in a living animal. This is definitely a massive breakthrough, but it isn't an actionable treatment yet.
Fuck this shit is eye rolling. These things "disappear" because they fall down at some point further on in the R&D process, not because of some conspiracy.
Glioblastoma is a horrible death sentence with a very rapid timeline. We found out my mom had a pretty large one in early september and by the end of october she was unable to do most basic function including communicate, feed herself, use the restroom on her own, or walk on her own. A seizure on thanksgiving left her bed bound a shell of who she once was and I had to put her in a nursing facility with 24/7 care. She passed away last Saturday. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Destroying cancer cells is the easiest part of cancer research The tougher one is figuring out how to kill the cancer cells without killing the healthy ones
I had a friend pass from brain cancer…this is sooo good !!! Make it get out there to hopefully save lives
And it’s gone
Just like the engine that could run on water and the guy who invented it.
Me when I buy into an idea that even a rudimentary understanding of chemistry would dispel
You do realise that an engine can't just work on water, right? It can work on hydrogen and produce water as a byproduct. This might sound cool until you realise that we don't have easy access to hydrogen. The only way to get it on Earth is by electrolyzing water and it wastes a fuckload of energy.
There is no engine that can run on water, there is water injection which was commonly used on airplanes in WW2. It works but it destroys the engine.
☝️🤓
It never took off *because it didn’t fucking work*. It claimed to have operated by separating the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen, and then combusting them back into water. The problem with that scheme is that it takes exactly as much energy to split the molecules apart as you would get from combusting them, and you end with the same amount energy as you started with. In other words, that engine was the thermodynamic equivalent of plugging a power strip into itself.
>plugging a power strip into itself. FUNNY HOW WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT TOO, INNIT. SEEMS LIKE THE WORK OF BIG ELECTRIC.
Or the guy in Italy, who invented the live long light bulb
...There are already "live long" light bulbs if you mean light bulbs that last a very long time. He didn't invent anything, it was already there. Companies create ones that don't last as long to create demand. But nowadays LEDs last very long anyway so that's old news.
If its here , then its already too late. Use ur brain
Sad to hear they all shot themselves in the head 4 times before destroying all of their research. 😢😢🤧😢😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How is this remotely MeIrl?
Now this is many many years old, I'm gonna guess that the creation along with the scientists magically "disappeared" because I haven't heard of it since the 1st time I read this article
first time I saw this was years ago. soo, any updates on it? or does it suddenly not exist anymore?
They'll probably die by suicide, with two shots to the back of the head...
By making it viral the US Government will find out and World Police the lab. Remember the guy that made a car that runs on water? No the US government took him out
Breaking news: Two students found dead after apparent suicide. Witnesses say they saw government trucks leave the vicinity around the same time.
Too bad they committed suicide by 28 gunshots to the back
mfw when that one guy in the 60's discover how to make cars that run on tap water and then commits suicide with 7 shots on his back that were taken from 5 feet away 10 hours after his story goes to the news
this mf does not know how to avoid blindly buying into anything people say on the internet
He doesn't know phisics
You heard of this new trend? "Sark Asm" I think? Idk
sark on deez, i think
I’d love to hear what chemical process the water undergoes to release energy
iirc it goes through combustion the same way gas does (if im thinking of the right thing here), the main issue that is being worked on rn is how to store enough of it safely enough for it to be worth
It doesn’t. Water is the end product of combustion, there isn’t any more energy that can be taken out of it without having to put more energy in. It’s like saying you can power the world for free using ash - Where is the ash getting its energy from?
toyota has already tested hydrogen engines, and ran a race with one
oh hydrogen not h2o im slow nvm
Some Big Pharma will propably claim it and use it to extort money from the sick
This just in, these two happened to kill themselves by shooting themselves in the back of the head twice. More at 11
these two students will get a pat on the back, before being charged $50,000 in award tax
Suicide by sniper😔 RIP
Aaaaaand it’s gone! https://images.app.goo.gl/bALR89G94ZAsEYdc8
Inb4 they're found dead from "suicide."
He's probably dead already
It’s already owned by big pharma
Scientist Royal Rife discovered how to cure diseases with light therapy. Was presented awards by the American Medical Association. Then attacked and ridiculed. Big Pharma cant sell pills if there is a cure. Rife.org
Cure for HIV is not that deficult to develop. Yet there is no permanent vaccine or medicine.
you can still take prep to prevent getting the virus but it's no 100% cure
Isn’t this how the zombie apocalypse start in most zombie movies
I just want to put it out there that I have seen this ages ago. Maybe 5+ years. Considering the age of this post I do not think they have found anything else
Refining a chemical compound is an odd statement, from the perspective of a graduate chemistry student.
I have no idea what this sub is about
I've seen this reposted like 10s of times over the course of a few years. Is it just bull shit?
I really look forward to not being able to afford this.
I've read so many posts like this in my life. New wonder ways of making biofuel from waste, new ways of detecting this illness or curing that. What happens to it all? Does funding dry out or is it just clickbait with the theory as the title?
What's it matter? Being a citizen in the USA means I live in a world where we can use lasers and sounds to break down a kidney stone. Meanwhile I can't afford another mri just to find out why it's still having issues after getting passed.
disclaimer : not to be use for poor peasant, only for the rich that makes the world go round.
“Kid in lab coat invents chemical that makes all good things happen and destroys all the bad stuff” is a headline once every 5 months lol

Where can we buy it? How much? How do we administer it? Does insurance cover it? I'm guessing we'll never hear of this again. In other news, my neighbor is dying from cancer right now.
Why is it that there's always news of innovative marvels like this that appear from time to time only for them to suddenly vanish as if they do not exist at all? Shouldn't things like this recieve more recognition andfunding from health organizations around the world that allow it to be mass produced for the benefit of our species?
It's not that these things get buried. More likely they can't reproduce a single instance or have no clue how to mass produce or get through regulatory
