the cancer industry

Have you ever thought something like this?
The cancer industry is based on an elaborate pretence. The 'experts' know
what causes cancer and that it can be cured quite easily without 'slash,
burn, poison' treatment. They, and their government paymasters, keep this
under wraps because it would not be in their interests for such a
multi-million dollar industry, one that employs God-knows-how-many thousands
of researchers, professors, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists,
technicians, epidemiologists etc, one that generates huge profits for the
drug companies, to grind to a permanent halt.
Not normally a conspiracy theorist sucker nor having paranoid tendencies I
began to entertain the possibility of a cancer conspiracy orchestrated by
government, drug companies, research institutions after reading an article
on the late Sir Richard Doll who first established the smoking/cancer causal
link in the late 50s. He described what happened after, in 1957, he
presented incontrovertible evidence of the link to the British Department of
Health. "They set up an inter-departmental committee to advise on what
should be done. They said - and I've seen the report - that it would be very
serious if smoking was reduced, not just because tax would decrease, but
because they like people to die off at 65 to save their pensions. The
committee was chaired by theTreasury. And as result it was decided to do
nothing."

The World has moved on since the 1950's and the cynical 'report's of
arrogant public servants. Also methinks you are a victim of the conspiracy
syndrome. Nothing can be kept secret these days, conspiracies require
enormous overheads and resources to maintain - people gossip. Move on and
enjoy life..

As a postscript there is serious research going on to extend life expectancy
almost indefinitely at a physical level equal to 18 ~ 25 year old - alas not
in my lifetime but there is megabucks being invested into controlling cell
apotheosis - now that is really going to fuck with pensions and taxation!!!!

Actually, cancer as an "industry" is not at all far-fetched. Someone who has been studying this industry for a long time is Ralph Moss, and he has some insightful commentary about the industrial nature of cancer in our country and the world.

Is There a Cancer Conspiracy?

Quote:

The American Cancer Society (ACS) recently conducted a telephone survey and found some disturbing trends. In particular, its pollsters discovered that 27 percent of Americans believe that a cure for cancer already exists "but it is being withheld from the public in order to increase profits." According to the poll, another 14 percent of Americans aren't sure if this proposition is accurate, but will not dismiss the possibility. Not good news for an organization based on raising money for an impending cure!

The ACS is clearly appalled by the fact that such a large percentage of the American public believes what the ACS characterizes as the "urban myth" of a secret cancer cure, and sees it as a sign of the ignorance of the lay population. But I think there is a deeper explanation, and it is one that the ACS would do well to heed. My interpretation is that the public's wariness on this issue indicates a healthy skepticism and a pervasive distrust of the repeated bland reassurances that everything is going well in the 34-year-old war on cancer.

I have often been accused of fueling cancer conspiracy theories. However, as early as the 1970s I spoke out strongly against such theories. In my first book, The Cancer Industry, I wrote: "Not only is there no hard evidence that such a conspiracy to suppress a known cure for cancer exists, but such a theory defies logic as well" (1980).

I pointed to the obvious fact that leaders of the cancer establishment themselves are not immune to cancer and in fact often die of it. Also, at that time the pharmaceutical industry was already pouring tens of millions of dollars into the search for effective treatments.

But even though I don't subscribe to the notion that there is a conspiracy to withhold a cure, I do emphatically feel that potentially useful methods are being willfully ignored. "The important point," as I said in The Cancer Industry, "is that the suppression of unorthodox methods - and the promotion of the orthodox approach - takes place mainly at an unconscious level. It is an outgrowth of underlying economic and social trends rather than conscious design. This may explain the opposition of members of the establishment itself�to this explanation, since they swim in the sea of this establishment, and are rarely conscious of its pressure all around them.

"[T]he evidence points to the fact that it is the system itself, rather than any particular clique of individuals, which is really to blame for failure to make progress against the cancer problem. In particular, the fact that cancer management is itself a big business means that it must function according to the rules of profit-oriented institutions."

A quarter of a century later, I still believe this is true. Yes, the flat-out conspiracy theory is nonsense and easily refuted. But the fact remains that the system itself strongly favors highly profitable treatments and relegates less profitable ones to the netherworld of banned or so-called "unproven" treatments.
