Cancers Might Be Newly Evolved Species
- Mz 15y agoExcerpt: The idea is already gaining support from other experts. Mark Vincent, a medical oncologist at the London Regional Cancer Program and University of Western Ontario, said, "I think Duesberg is correct by criticizing mutation theory, which sustains a billion-dollar drug industry focused on blocking these mutations. Yet very, very few cancers have been cured by targeted drug therapy, and even if a drug helps a patient survive six or nine more months, cancer cells often find a way around it.” I'm not really liking a lot of what the article says but I liked the above quote. Personally, I tend to think most cancers probably have a viral origin. Virii, like the ones that cause warts or cold sores, are well known to insert themselves into cells and thereby create "growths". Off the top of my head, I don't know of anything else which is known to do something similar. And we know human papilloma virus plays a role in cervical cancer (which is why so many women get annual pap smears).
