Did the NHS just cure cancer?

Here's some good and hopeful news, then:

Scientists and engineers in Geneva just completed the first succesful test of a stable fusion power reactor. Great news for those worried about global pollution..

Woh. Link?

You wanted hopeful, good news. Never said anything about it having to be true...

Scientists in Bern have developed a time machine that would allow me to go back in time and prevent my camp counselor from fingering my asshole repeatedly at boy scout camp and then not returning any of my phone calls or texts.

Y'all sure love your clickbait when it tells you what you want to hear.

I think we could all use some hope and good news. No need to piss on every post around here.

Dirty dick trying to use his sunny disposition and optimism to defend him being wrong as usual. Wonders never cease.

I think the cure, when it comes, will be related to the autophagy effect that happens in prolonged fasting. One of the reasons fasting is recommended is that it causes your body to break down old and pre-cancerous cells for energy. It might be possible to hack the body to trigger autophagy even when somebody is not fasting so that they still consume nutrients and maintain muscle mass, but the old cells get cleared out.

Which also would be a kind of anti-aging vaccine, I suppose.

The fact that your body even knows which cells are cancerous and which are getting old indicates the mechanisms are already in place to do this. We just need to trigger them for longer than a short fast.

That explains so much...

Two years ago I believe it was now a Nobel Prize went to a scientist which found the genetic code that made the cells in the human body continuously attack cancer instead of being fooled by it and stop attacking it after being in the body for a period of time.

The good news it was reproducible, the bad news it was also a treatment that was although, without radiation, it hammered the body as if it was going through it if the cancer was already prevalent inside the body.

This study or research may be based on that... if it is we are a step closer to removing cancer from our lives in my lifetime...

With that being said, this may be also a next step to extending the human lifespan to centuries instead of a few extra good years.

There is a study of using telomerase to extend lifespans to near indefinitely in theory, but cancer was always a worry... if this cancer cure becomes true, that may be a hurdle we no longer need to worry about.

Ur a faggot. If you were dying from dick cancer and I had the cancer cure, I'd flush it down the toilet or feed it to birds.

Are you seriously going to make tasteless jokes like that less than 48 hours after Kobe Bryant passed away? Wow dude. You do realize that Kobe was one of the first African American baseball players in MLB right? He took the Brooklyn dodgers to the world series twice. And he did it while bigoted assholes like you were hurling racial epithets at him. The man was a civil rights icon. Its sad that in this day and age, we are so cynical that we can overlook a lifetime of racial achievement with offensive and quite possibly non gender neutral jokes just to get a few laughs. I don't even want to look at your post I'm so disappointed.
