The virus, known as adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2), is naturally occurring and carried by up to 80 percent of humans, but it does not cause any disease.
Researchers learned of its cancer-killing properties in 2005, after Penn State scientists observed it killing cervical cancer cells. They also found that women who carried the AAV2 virus and human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer, had a lower propensity to develop cervical cancer.
When combined in a lab recently, AAV2 eradicated all the breast cancer cells "within seven days," according to researchers. Better still, it proved capable of wiping out cancer cells at multiple stages, negating the need for differing treatments used today.
Clinical features: Adenoviruses most commonly cause respiratory illness; however, depending on the infecting serotype, they may also cause various other illnesses, such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis (bladder infection), and rash illness. Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Young infants and especially patients with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), which was first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections.
[edit]Viruses
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The most commonly implicated virus is a rhinovirus (30–50%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.[4][14][15] Others include: coronavirus (10–15%), influenza (5–15%),[4] human parainfluenza viruses, human respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, enteroviruses, and metapneumovirus.[9]

The common cold is part of it, but the common cold is referred to usually as the rhinovirus (that's the most common). Adenovirus itself is responsible for quite a few infections as per the link. Calling the common cold adenovirus is like saying all cars are Ferrari's.
Awesome find.

You guys do know what an adeno virus is right? It's any virus which originates in the adenoid gland, and is responsible for - drum roll please - the common cold.

A small Canadian community's success with curing cancer naturally was recently crushed, forcing its provider into exile in Europe. Rick Simpson had discovered a cure for himself and then had shared it at no cost with others in the small rural town of Maccan, Nova Scotia.

Does this remind anyone of "I am legend" with Will Smith?

"I Am Legend" is a book. The various film adaptations are hogwash. It is short, and worth reading. That being said, I sure hope this cure is legit. But it does beg the question: if we find a cure for everything, and start to live longer, healthier lives, won't we need to colonize other planets with a quickness? I know there is still plenty of room on Earth, but at a certain point that all breaks down. Something about bacteria in a jar and whatnot. It's only half-full one minute and the next minute it breaks. I'm all for the cure, but what then?
