Why There Will Never Be a Cure for Cancer

There is a long-standing belief among many conspiracy theorists that there will never be a cure for cancer. Why is it that they believe this?

Cancer has been one of the leading killers in the United States for many years. Cancer has claimed, and effected many lives over the last hundred years. It has also caused for the medical community to raise billions of
 dollars.

The billions of dollars that are raised pay the thousands of doctors that conduct the research. It also pays for the salaries of people that raise more money for cancer research. It also pays the salaries of hundreds of people that advertise for these organizations.

Also, a lot of this money also goes into the pockets of politicians. Much of this money is to convince politicians to be mindful of interests that pertain to cancer research and treatment.

Think for a moment about the amount of money that is spent a year on cancer medication. How many drug companies would go out of business if a cure for cancer were found? How many politicians would loose elections because they did not have the backing of these drug companies?

The tobacco companies are some of the strongest donators when it comes to political election money. If a cure for cancer were to be found, the tobacco companies would not have any use to support political elections. There would no longer be a worry about smoking causing cancer because there would be a cure.

The tobacco companies would also gain money hand over fist. If a cure for cancer were found, more people would continue to smoke, and many new customers would soon be added. Many of the smoking bans would be lifted in the United States, and the tobacco companies would have very little to fight for.

It was once estimated that one out of every thousand people in the United States work in some field that is linked to cancer research. If a cure for cancer were to be found, it would have a strong, negative effect on the economy in the United States.

Cancer cannot be cured because their is not one single cause of cancer. Cancer is caused by your DNA being corrupted. Their are many many carcinogens that we come in contact with daily. Everything from sunlight (skin cancer) to deep fried foods, (oil, breaks down when heated causing free radicals to destroy your DNA) In addition it's crazy to think that unemployment would skyrocket, if a cure COULD be created that would prevent DNA manipulation. People would just start raising money to find a cure for the next big disease, like diabetes, MS, AIDs,or Autism. For all of you who say God Bless a cure for cancer. Ask God why he allows cancer in the first place. Why would a God allow or create cancer in the first place. Face it, god doesn't exist.

How would they stop a cure for cancer? If a scientist finds a cure for cancer even if they use some legal maneuvers to try and stop it from getting to the market it will be sold on the black market. The chance is even greater since the sellers wouldn't feel guilty about selling it illegally, they'd see themselves (correctly in my opinion) as doing the right thing by helping to save lives. Over time people would find out about the cure ban probably from a cure-dealers testimony in court, it would be a huge public scandal for lawmakers and regulators involved, and in the end the tobacco industry stops lobbying so hard and cancer researchers are out of work anyways. I think the companies and politicians would rather not mess around with that and sell it to the public themselves right away. Also, it's not that hard for researchers and lobbyists to find new jobs. These are highly-skilled jobs. A person who researches cancer can get involved in other research, and a person who lobbies for

I was thinking to myself.how much money and how much more time will it take to find a cure. I think some doctors are trying and some are sucking up the money. This is how you find a cure= The first organization that comes up with a cure for CANCER, AIDS...etc will get 1Billion Dollars. Cut funding and I promise you will have a cure in Less than a year. THERE ARE GOOD DOCTORS OUT THERE THAT ARE TRYING TO FIND A CURE. THEY HAVE LOVE ONES WHO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. There are greedy ones that are wasting money. In time GOD will make the cures happen.

this is really dumb of you to think like this..Your saying that the economy would whether let cancer kill hundreds of thousands of people a year,your saying they'd want people to chew tobacco.Thats stupid,if this nation was full of people like you we wouldn't find a cure for anything.Just so you know we have already found cures for various types of cancer so we will one day find a cure.All I have to say to you is good luck.It's going to be hard for you to get anywhere in life with that negative attitude.GOD BLESS A CURE FOR CANCER!!!!!!!

man this is a bunch of rubish the sceintist we have today aint even tring to find a cure we found lots of cures like a cure for plague and other worst diseases than cancer we found the cure for plague because every1 was getting sick so every1 had to work hard to find a cure so if loads of people were getting cancer like they did as the plague then the government would make loads and loads more scientist try to find a cure if all of the scientist in the world was working on finding a cure they could find it its not "there is no cure" theres a cure for everything we just have to work so much harder

I disagree with this whole premise, because they are finding help and cures for many diseases everyday. If cancer has a cure and they find it, which they may at sometime in the future, if you read my article called "Could This Fruit Cure Cancer and Diabetes?" and you will find out there are resources and research being done as we sit her debating the issue. It is possible, even if they cure cancer there will be other disease that need curing, so the medical community and politicians will not suffer any lose of income. There was a cure for TB and Polio in this country but other nations did not get that help and that is why they are coming back, unfortunately. Money is always a factor, but there are people who care about the death rate and are working their tails off to help find cures for many disease, including Cancer

Yes, sure companies will go out of buisness but that's not stopping them. I Do believe and pray a cure will be found soon. Many do and we think it is possible. If that is the case with the money then more needs to happen check the cancer research site, they are doing so many walks they will raise money and yes doctors are researching and quotes are published that there is hope and close chances for a cure. Just because of buisnesses being ruined that can't stop them. If this is true, people aren't going to let it happen. I myself am from london and yes, tell me i build my hopes up too much but i do feel there WILL be a cure. I have known and heard of too many cases and i am a young woman concerned on the matter and reading this made me think, yeah sure this needs to be considered, but buisnesses will be ruined. Advertising agencies but they wont need to advertise if there is a cure and they cover more than one area and they get payed now. You may think this is irrelevant but me and man

Interesting...I never thought about this before. Guess that is also why abortion will probably never be illegal again.

It was reported by the American Cancer Society in 2001 that about 15% of the cancer cases received more treatment then was needed. The same report stated that an estimated 4% of cases that were diagnosed as cancer were wrong. The patients did not have cancer at all. L.
