How much would it cost to cure cancer?

I just heard that the Iraq war is costing America more than $1 trillion. All of this because of 3,000 deaths on 9/11 and a few incidents around the world since while there are 650,000 heart disease deaths annually, 550,000 cancer deaths and the list goes on. My question is can anybody put a pencil to the people who would benefit and lives saved from $1 trillion invested in medical research?

How much would it cost to cure cancer?
Money doesn't buy cures. It buys the status quo.





I cured my own Stage 4 cancer nine years ago for about ten dollars, or about $20 in today's world. I used hot peppers, freshly grated garlic and fish oil.





About a year or so ago UCLA researchers demonstrated they could shrink tumors 80% with hot peppers. If this had been done with an FDA-approved drug, it would have become required treatment for all.





But hot peppers don't have a constituency.





Today, large sums of money are an enemy of bringing a cure to cancer patients. If you're making huge monthly payments on a million dollar radiation machine, you just won't have a lot of interest in hot peppers.





If it sounds like I'm being overly dramatic, please remember UCLA's results with peppers and the lack of a huge storm sweeping the nation in response.





Be well.
