This could have huge implications for HIV as well. Having already proven its effectiveness against HPV, HIV seems a logical follow-on candidate.
But then again, maybe the "V" in HIV has been a misnomer...

I predict this will "go away" and never be heard about again. The ramifications of actually having a cancer "cure" are huge. The drug industry, the medical industry...huge hit. I don't think the gov't wants a cure, or there would already be one.

I nominate your post for the Most Moronic Post of the Daytm
by this "logic", everything that can be discovered has already been discovered, and cures for all diseases already exist - thye've just been suppressed by the government-millitary-industrial-pharmeceutical complex!

This could have huge implications for HIV as well. Having already proven its effectiveness against HPV. There is always hope. Viruses are such peculiar things, they could be keys to many revelations. That's something worth praying for, that our researchers find the keys.

A common virus that is harmless to people can destroy cancerous cells in the bodyWait until they find out it causes heart disease.

I disagree. The business of treating cancer is huge, and finding a cure would render a large portion of our drug/medical professionals/companies irrelevant. This would result in an enormous negative effect on the economy. My tin foil hat is firmly in place, whether you believe me moronic or not. The bottom line counts.

There are two types of cancer reasearch articles. One is a request for research dollars, and so is the other. More like, one is a request for government research grants, and the other is hype to draw in private investment dollars.

Sounds great.
But, let's keep in mind it was only a study of 8.
However, what I am waiting for is a gene therapy/drug therapy based on a unusal gene an Italian (I think) family has that essentially makes them immune to heart disease no matter what they do and eat.
It is amazing. I forgot what it is called, but we are still waiting for that to be made into a drug to virtually end completely the heart disease menace.

The cure would be a boon to the economy since every other country would need it, too.

if you find anyway to get a hold of this virus to take it, please let me know. Will do philsfan24. So far I have not come across anything on the internet. I see my oncologist next week and see what I can dig up there.
You may be interested in this, I am participating in a phase 3 double-blind study for a drug currently numbered U-2901 (trade name is Provigil or Modafinil). This study is conducted by Gulf Coast MBCCOP. This drug fights the effects of fatigue caused by various chemotherapy drugs. It has not been approved but it works!
I still have side-effects but now I feel like working in the garden and walking a mile daily. If you need further info contact me via private reply and I'll do the same with this virus study. Have a great day.

I didn't say you were moronic, i said your post was moronic.
perhaps your tinfoil hat is on a little too tight - assuming your presmise is true, which i doubt, but assuming that it is true just for fun, how much bigger would be a market for cancer cures and preventatives - which many people would pay a premium for - as opposed to the current market for questionable treatments that don't cure?
Imagine the market value of a 'cancer vaccine', for example...

Free enterprise will take over here. The first company who can market this, assuming it works, will be the largest company in their market. The fact that this has been made public will keep it from being suppressed by anyone. Hell, we FReepers know the name of the virus and what it may do. Now any person with the right skills can look into this.
If this is in fact a cure, it's out of the bottle and won't be easily put back in. If there is real promise to this expect a race to use this, not suppression.

It is looking more and more like they will have highly effective treatments against many of the regular forms of cancer very soon.
And with the coming battle over Codex, we might not be able to get them even if it is little more than an ordinary weed or virus.
I'm still reading some real interesting stuff about Graviola, if it turns out it really works, but the drug companies sat on it because they couldn't synthesize it, it would be one of the greatest crimes humanity ever saw.

If upwards of 80% of the population has this virus, why is cancer found in such a high percentage of the population (higher than 20%)?
