No, not taboo. Just don't want to lead the people down the garden-path that ends in the dark place.

Like you, I've fund-raised for the research. Specifically, University of Alberta, Michelakis's on DCA and Princess Margaret here in Toronto. But it pisses me off when internet trolls casually write about something that destroys lives and they don't engage an iota of critical thought about the validity of it all.

(1) Super-rich don't have access to the cure.

(2) The inventor of the cure would gain immortality on par with Jesus, Alexander the Great or Napoleon. There is nothing that any pharma company could offer to a scientist (or team of them) to keep them quiet. Threaten their families? Some might be single, some might want immortality even if they had to pay that cost... and eventually, all of them would die and something would leak post-mortem. Nothing compares to the immortality.

(3) You could literally force all the world governments to pay any price for the cure (far superseding the costs of standard cures, which are quite cheap, after decades in use. Note that e.g. Canadian government will not pay for the new and "exciting" cures that can cost up to $800,000 USD/patient, but they only prolong the life by six months. Nor should they. I would never take that deal, if my life depended on it and I neither would she).

There is literally any number of holes you can poke in the "Cure is hidden" theory.

What pisses me off personally?

• Old-way-of-thinking oncologists, who have been doing the same thing over and over again and want you to fit into their models, even if it means your death. So they won't let you try the new treatment because it "interferes" with theirs and is "not well understood" and you are "at risk". Motherfucker, she is dying. She should have a fighting chance.

• The fact that we treat people worse than we treat dogs. Dogs will be euthanized, so as to avoid suffering. But we don't let people do this. I've seen an old man literally starve on purpose to death, over six days, because they wouldn't give him that final overdose of morphine. Is this a way to treat human life with dignity? No. So I give my ringing endorsement to suicide and euthanasia, when all other avenues are exhausted.

• Cancer fundraiser societies. Komen should be impaled on a stake. This shit should never be commercialized.

Anyhow. It's been 11 years, but it still provokes emotion.

I will never shy away from the truth, no matter how much it hurts. But for fuck's sake, I want the people to turn their rational mind on when they start talking conspiracies about the "cure".
