In our country, medicine has become the business of robber barons. In cahoots with the federal government in the form of federal research loans (which lead to chemical-treatment patents), our country takes profits over lives and if they keep going like they're going, they're going to get someone you know. Maybe they already have. There's a price on your head if you have cancer.
This is a good article that brings us face-to-face with the basics of cancer. Anybody can get it. Cancer is what happens when the immune system suffers a communication breakdown, somehow. We all have potential cancers flowing in our bloodstream at some times (probably all the time) in our lives. This article is about the knowledge we have in order to bolster the immune system using the cancer patient's own defenses.

Despite promising results like this, research into treatments with dendritic cells is barely getting off the ground. “There’s not a lot of money to be earned from the research,” Gorter states. “You can’t get a patent on it because dendritic cells are autologous [drawn from and reintroduced to a patient’s own body]. Which is why pharmaceutical companies aren’t interested. Classic, random studies have never been done because this type of research is very expensive.” Gorter worries that his treatment, like other alternative methods, will not be approved by influential authorities like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because these treatments run counter to the pharmaceutical-based philosophy of the medical establishment. He worries that legal charges may even be brought against doctors applying the therapy.
