How effectively does alcohol carry the compound to where it is needed? If it is dissolved in alcohol, can it be applied in low enough quantities to not be toxic and still be effective?
It is soluble in alcohol, and also, if we'd have left nature alone then we'd not have so much cancer and stuff.

How much medicine do you think would be available if it weren't for profit?
Making money has nothing to do with the health and well being of the populace. There is a conflict in our system.
The research in this study was funded in large part by the NIH. That is tax payer money.
I believe that medical research should be paid for by the tax payer so that there is no conflict of interest.
And still are. It's just that in a lot of cases they have been greatly improved upon, both in being more effective as well as less toxic.
Medicines provided by Mother Nature have always been available.
Sure you could. I'm sure all that tar and crap is perfectly harmless. (Never mind the fact that there were no cigarettes in the 1400's).
I could smoke a hundred cigarettes a day in the 1400's and never get cancer...reason being nobody was putting poisons in the tobacco.
Eat it. Ok. How much should I eat to cure my pancreatic cancer? The traditional use is for arthritic conditions, not cancer.
And nature was and is perfect, so it's not soluble, eat it instead of dissolving it and stomach acid will dissolve it.
Unfortunately, it is well known that triptolide has small margin between the therapeutic and toxic doses and shows serious toxicity on digestive, urogenital and blood circulatory system when its level rises beyond the upper limitation.16—18) Ding H’ research also showed that the acute necrosis of liver was the main cause of death.19)

Who is profiting from this research?
it has to do with the role of profit in a scenario where scientific inquiry is taking place.
I know. I said if we had an honest government tax payer funded research would be the answer. We don't have an honest government.
I think the number one thing to avoid them is never to get diagnosed with one.
I basically don't even go to dr's anymore unless it's for trauma care or I think I'm gonna die

You have to be careful with the statistics you use. You seem to have changed what you first said. First you said cancer rates (I assumed you were talking about survival rates) now you're talking about an increase in life expectancy. Which is it?
No -- the "All Cancers" makes a LOT of sense. What he was saying that in 30 years and billions of dollars of medical expenses, the AVERAGE increase in life expectancies for humans with ALL CANCERS factored in, was 1.5% greater in 1999 than it was in 1969.
Not true.
More people are diagnosed at a younger age and treated -- we know that. But you factor in how long all people with cancer live on average -- and it doesn't look so good.
www.asco.org...
In the past decades, gains in cancer survival have been largely driven by improvements in treatment, even for some cancers (breast and colon) for which there have been increased efforts to improve detection. In these latter cases, the results are attributable to both progress in detection and the surprisingly rapid improvement in survival at every given stage of diagnosis.
Actually, it's not. And you can find them in just about any context you wish.
It's really, really hard to search for a Cancer stat -- much less get one in context.
The statistics are based on the number of people diagnosed with cancer, of course. How can they be based on people who did not have cancer or were not diagnosed? In your example it says that 9 out of 10 people diagnosed with cancer lived for 5 years (at least) after treatment. So what would that statistic have been 30 years ago? A higher percentage of people diagnosed with cancer and treated are living longer lives than those diagnosed with cancer and treated thirty years ago. Of course if your plan is like that of r2d246 (the "see no evil" method) you won't appear on either side of the board. You'll just be dead.
The stats for survival in Cancer say "90%" if 9 people out of 10 live for 5 years. Again -- that kind of stat is almost useless if we can't know how many people REALLY had cancer 30 or 50 years ago.
Which clock? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? Talking about a cure and in the same breath talking about a "clock" doesn't really make sense. I have been cancer free for 25 years. That sounds like a cure to me but if I had been killed by a car 20 years ago I would have had a 5 year survival, not a cure because the clock stopped at that point.
And if you detect the cancer earlier because more people are testing -- did you REALLY cure it, or did you just start the clock on "survival rate" earlier?

So you think the research about this compound is invalid because it had government funding. Bummer, it seems to show a lot of promise.
Oh yes. Philanthropy is very much a red flag. You really should be suspicious of the Shriners too. What they do for crippled children is highly suspect.
The masonic connection to the research is a red flag. Even if there were no masonic connection, there is a problem with a patent involved.

Yes. The evil plot to merge the US with the Soviet Union didn't seem to go very well. But did you read the foreward to the report? The part where he says foundations have contributed "innumerable public benefits"?
I see. You dismiss the Dodd Report.
Yes. The topic is:
And you claim that front groups are off-topic on this thread, do you?

Right. Excellent idea.

Sudden weight loss? Think you're going to die?
Nausea? Think you're going to die?
Itchy skin? Think you're going to die?
You have a good plan there. Just tough it out.
