The information that I have found about the few subjects listed above both made me very disappointed, but also happy. In the cure for cancer exploration I had found many things that just made me upset. The cause of the upset is not because of the things we can’t do, but by what other people do not want to do. Dr. Mercola states, “the amount of people that die everyday due to cancer can equal eight to ten planes full of people. This is a large amount of people that are dieing because of how people are greedy and do not prevent or cure cancer, but treat it like a headache” (Mercola.com). This made me very upset, for there are many people that are suffering from cancers, and to know that no one wants to spend the money to produce and test a drug or protein to cure an alarmingly out of control disease hurts me inside. The results of this search made me search and find what is out there to cure cancers when I came upon an article that had given me an answer. A Sign of The Times, SOTT, writer states, “There was a cure for cancer found by Canadian researchers, but there was little exhibisionism in news articles and TV channels. The cure comes from dichloroacetate which turns the mitochondria back on to fight the cancer cells and use its self destruct method to kill the cancer cells, but no one wants to exploit this because it would not bring competition and high revenue income” (SOTT.net) This news made me furious, because there has been theorized way to cure cancer, but no one wants in on the matter because there is not a lot of money in it. This information was just brought to my attention because I explored for something and I had found something that we are not exploring for because we do not want to. A video on Youtube titled “Cance...

  • Creativity in Medicine

    When I began my research, I figured, what better way to start digging in than to hear what a professional has to say. So I contacted Dr. Diana Port, Pharm.D., a Pharmacist in Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey. I asked her to tell me the first thing that came to her mind when I told her the following two words: ‘Creativity’ and ‘Medicine’. Barely finishing my sentence, she answered me with one, Gleevec. She explained to me that in 2001, the FDA approved of a cancer-fighting drug, which would later be called Gleevec for the treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). When the drug first came out, people were literally calling it names like “The Silver Bullet” or “The Miracle Drug” because of how amazing it was (Pray).

    In 1946, a woman by the name of Mary Lasker, a member of the original ASCC, helped raise more than $4 million for the Society, where one million of it was used to establish and fund infamous cancer research (ACS Inc, 2011). Soon after, Dr. Sidney Farber, one of the Society’s first research grantees, achieved the first temporary cancer remission in a child with acute leukemia using the drug Aminopterin (ACS Inc, 2011). The ACS has been developing research theories for decades, with approximately $3.5 billion dedicated to finding a cure to cancer through research (ACS, 2011). With the ACS name nationally recognized, they were able to help fund many national, government, and hospital prevention strategies and research.

  • How Has Cancer Changed My Life

    Isn’t it overwhelming to consider the fact that approximately one in eight deaths in the world are due to cancer? To make this more comprehensible, the number of deaths caused by cancer is greater than caused by AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Along with the idea that this disease does not have a definite cure is a mind-staggering concept to grasp. If not caught in time, cancer means guaranteed death. These types of thoughts were floating around my head when my mother had told me that my father had mouth cancer.

  • Do No Harm

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    Annually, over half a million people die of cancer, but behind the scenes of the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) are several promising treatments that will probably never see the light of day. In 1994, a new drug called Angiostatin was created. This new treatment presumably could halt malignant tumors and reverse the harmful effects of cancer. Set up by the FDA, a clinical trial equipped with the use of the medicine in animals began soon after the discovery. The results of the trial showed that in three different types of cancer, Angiostatin ranged from 90-98% effective in ridding the cancer. Even with the astounding conclusions from the clinical trial, the FDA waited another six years to approve Angiostatin. In those six years, more than three million people diagnosed with cancer died, and part of those three million could have been saved with the use of Angiostatin, but the FDA dragged on the process of approving it (Falloon 3). Terminally ill patients need medication, even if not FDA approved, given that the risks and benefits are accurately portrayed.

  • Frankenstein: "Playing God" - Advancements in Biomedical Techology

    875 Words  | 2 Pages

    The fact that there have been many advancements in biomedical technology over the years have given us the ability to cure and prevent diseases that have once devastated the human population. These breakthroughs have allowed people to live longer and healthier lives, yet others believe that it runs the risk of “playing God” and that such matters should be left into the hands of a higher power. Today, this ethical debate still continues to raise questions on whether these scientific breakthroughs are morally acceptable. While I support the use of scientific breakthroughs, I believe that it should only be used for human benefit to cure those who are suffering from cancer. This approach seems more reasonable than using this technology to choose one’s eye color or keep someone on life support just because it is something that can be done, whether or not that is acceptable or not.

  • Cancer Argumentative Essay

    1541 Words  | 4 Pages

    We now can find what specific cancer a patient has and where, and give them a variety of treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and several other types of treatment including experimental drugs. But there is no 100% guarantee that these treatments work. Ancient physicians and surgeons knew that cancer usually came back after it was removed surgically and recognized that there was no cure once the cancer had spread, and thought that intervention may be more harmful that no treatment at all. Some people today still think of cancer as incurable and wait until the last minute to go to the doctor. Galen was a 2nd- century Greek doctor that claimed a breast cancer tumor could be completely removed if it was caught at an early enough
