You can have it right now. Just go out and find a frog. Open it's stomach and rub is content on your cancer region. Simple really.
it has to be injected into veins, so do a injection dose (/s just in case)
Great news if you're a mouse!
true, not so great if you are a frog i guess
Could be one of those "Yes, but..." memes lol
I've probably read about hundreds of treatments that cure small animals like mice and frogs. Wake me when that s*** is proven on humans
We have hundreds of more treatments, there are hundreds (thousands?) of cancer variants, and every year we get more and better treatments. It's a slow but steady march
I'm 54. Cancer was a death sentence when I was young. Cures? LOL, how about detection? Forget it. You weren't getting diagnosed until it was way too late. And we had jack shit for medicine once we caught it.
In the 90s magazines used to publish articles about a "silver bullet" for cancer. Exactly the sort of thing you're talking about. We collectively woke up and realized there would never be such a thing. LOL, the articles stopped overnight. :)
Remember working with a guy in 1993 whose skin was hideous with skin cancer. Haven't seen such a human since. Skin cancer was a pretty big deal a couple of decades ago. People regularly died of it. Now it seems mostly beaten. Haven't heard of a person dying from skin cancer this century.
I suspect a tiny spot on my face is cancer. My body seems to have mostly beaten it. But if it ever grows again, I know they can zap it with a simple outpatient procedure. That sort of thing could have been the beginning of the end when I was a child.
Don't get me wrong, I'd personally shit bricks if the doc found even minor cancer, but at least I'd have a chance in 2025.
We are though all the time. You have to remember that cancer isn't a single disease but a broad category of diseases, and treatments vary.
Sounds promising!
Every hippy: “Kambo!”
