Don't be so sure. I keep an eye on these issues, and it seems to me that real progress is being made.
I know. I'm just editorializing on 'health benefit' journalism - like last week's news that Vitamin E supplementation might not be so good for you after all. Oopsie!
I'm made skeptical by too many premature announcements.
There is very real progress being made in the realm of cancer treatment. However, any article describing a treatment with little or no side effects should be viewed with skepticism. Every drug has side effects...you just need to wait sometimes, because the side effects may not be immediately apparent.
We could sure use this now. A friend of ours has terminal cancer and her current therapy is not working.
