I found this VERY interesting, but I still don't know what to make of it. Could the cure for cancer really be such a simple, organic solition?

I generally steer clear of websites that have numbers in the title like that and that try to sell me things rather than just coming out and saying it. It's probably a hoax and if it's not, why wouldn't they offer that information for free? They're relying on mistrust of the government and desperation to sell their product.

While I think the cure for cancer could be simple, I doubt that this company has it. If they did, even if drug companies were trying to hush it up, I think the importance of the information would simply be to much to contain, and everyone would end up hearing about it. It would be all over the media and certainly all over the internet.

There are a lot of websites like that one, and they've been around a while trying to make money off fear, conspiracy theories, and twisting the facts. Their opening line is about why there is more cancer now than there was 100 years ago. Well, we have air pollution, water pollution, cigarettes, the fact that sunbathing was popular without sunscreen in the 70s and 80s, chemicals in cleaners, chemicals in paint, toxins in plastic, unnecessary medications, etc. In other words, we have a lot of crap now that wasn't really around or wasn't really an issue 100 years ago. Combined with our longer life spans, that means there are just more chances to get cancer now than 100 years ago. But the company is going to try to ignore that stuff and make it sound like they hold the ticket to living cancer-free.

Like Vanilla said, be very wary of stuff that says "ORDER NOW!" When looking for cancer information, look for reputable sites. Look for sites that have research to back up claims, that aren't trying to sell you anything, and that don't have lots of flashing banners on the sides. Sites that end in .edu or .org are often good. Search for natural, healthy, and free or low cost ways to reduce your risk of cancer, such as organic food, limiting sun exposure, wearing a sun hat, avoiding plastic, etc.

Like dragon said, the cure for cancer could be something simple and organic, but this company doesn't have it. Hopefully someone will have it soon. When that time comes, they'd be a fool to keep it quiet in my opinion. Imagine being a scientist and being able to put "cured cancer" on your resume. wink

"Have you ever wondered why 100 years ago cancer was a rare disease but today, There are many kinds of cancer and it is estimated 1 out of 4 people will get cancer in their life!"

Okay just so you know cancer isn't any less or more prevalent then it used to be. People live longer now then they ever have before and are exposed to thousands more industrial chemicals. Those two factors are mostly to blame. And smoking... Smoking has really upped the numbers of cancer deaths.

Plus, there was so much less medical knowledge back then. People died of 'old age' instead of all the specific diseases (such as cancer) they are diagnosed with today.
