there are over 50 known different rhino viruses all of which can cause a cold, there are literally hundreds of different cancers, all of which would require individual curatives. Your logic sucks. NO NO NO, no one is hiding a cure for the common cold or for cancer, quite simply because there can be no SINGLE CURE.

No. The idea is considered to be one of the top ten myths about cancer (that some secret cabal is hiding the cure for diseases . . . ). There are problems with this scenario . .logistically you would need to believe that thousands of people were involved in keeping this secret . . or worse . . a handful of people .. and just exactly which country would they live in? How would they do this? Would they hide themselves away . . treat their families and neighbors . . or let them die so as not to give away the cures? Considering the fact that in the US the former President of the country couldn't even keep his affair secret really speaks volumes about how difficult keeping 'secrets' would be. A secret of the magnitude in which you want to believe . . is impossible to keep . .someone would always tell . or clinical evidence found.
So, no I don't think there is any conspiracy at all . . as for jobs . . there are always changes in jobs . . look what happened when computers were introduced. People used to say that civilization would collapse because computerization would take over everyones job. Well . . when one situation becomes outdated . .than something else will take its place. That has happened all through history. Computers did replace alot of jobs and ended up also creating jobs . . the same would happen if 'cures' were found . . new jobs and new money opportunities would be created . . it would not mean any monetary loss whatsoever . . and would actually reduce suffering. Only good begatting good would come from such a cure for all human beings.

I would hope that people don't really believe this crap. There are as many types of cancers as there are types of cells in the body. For example - using your example of lung cancer. Assuming you aren't including metastatic disease (cancer from somewhere else like the colon) there are 2 main subdivisions of lung cancer- and multiple subtypes.
Small Cell and Non small cell being those major divisions
Lymphoma, breast cancer, liver and brain cancer also have multiple subtypes.
If a cure for all types of cancer were found - physicians would still have thousands of others on which to concentrate, diabetes, MS, autoimmune disorders, hypertension, PVD, CAD, pulmonary disease, neurodegenerative problems.
Heres one more problem with the theory of hiding the cure - the company that did find the cure would be rich beyond belief.

A cold is more of a symptom than an illness. It is a bodily reaction to a foreign protein. So with a properly functioning immune system, you never catch the same cold twice. A cure will probably never be possible. Cancer, I don't know, but a lot of money goes into cancer research.
I believe Oxford university made a link between cancer and the cold many years ago. It seems the more colds you have the less likely you are to get cancer.

Omg YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!! THERE ARE many different types of cancer and it depends on many more things than what body part it is located in. Two people can have cancer in the same location but have 2 different types of cancer that require very different treatment plans. An example would be there are dozens of brain cancers and most it does not even matter the exact location in the brain it can be the same location and different cancers. Yes it is the anbnoraml growth of cells but they divide in many different ways and are caused by and react to different things. There are also many differnt types of cold caused by different things that produce the same symptoms
My opinion is a cure for the cold will come before cancer as scientist have not yet determined why cancer to developes for the many of ther verry different types.I HATE when people act like they no everything about a subject they obviously knowNOTHING at all about. SO THERE ARE MANY MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER AND COLDS ANd a cure for one would not nessecarily mean all of them but hipefuly if a cure is found for one it will lead to cures of aall the others. PLEASE do not argue with this statement again as you obviously have no clue of what you are talking about.....
Ok on to your question NO a cure has absolutley not been found for these diseases. IF THEY FOUND IT TRUST ME THEY WOULD PUBLICIZE IT IMMEDIATLEY. Again you are probably to ignorant to hear me out on this nut IT would make companys flourish instead of ruin them. The person that found the cure would GET Millions and billions of dollars and win the nobel prize just for finding it. AND then he or she and all medical companies would thrive as every single person would need this vaccine not just the limited people with cancer they treat now and same goes for colds. SO basically if a cure was found for either of these the person who found it would prosper along with companies who will now give the vaccine. Also no jobs would be lost just gained as there would need to be manufactors distrubitors and people to give the new vaccine/ cure to every one in the public........
Now tell me why a person word turn down millions and billions of dollars the nobel prize a great benefit for all people and it would give jobs and make companies flourish?
DOnt even try to answer that.......

Nobody in possession of a few facts about cancer believes that.
Cancer is hundreds of diseases, not just one. That is a fact, your disbelieving it won’t change it.
The difficulty is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them, and different cancers respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them all
Some cancers can be cured these days though. 7 out of 10 children are cured of cancer. Testicular cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and many cases of leukaemia can all be cured in adults with chemotherapy, most skin cancers are cured with surgery, and many cases of thyroid cancer and cancer of the larynx are cured with radiotherapy.
Many other types of cancer are also cured if they are found early enough - 75% of breast cancers that are found very early - at stage one - for example. There is still a long way to go, especially with some of the commonest types of cancer such as lung, breast, bowel and prostate cancer.
Many people – invariably those who have not had cancer or been close to it - have pet theories about what causes and prevents it, and how to treat it. Existing treatments - chemotherapy and radiotherapy - are not perfect, far from it, but we know, because they have been clinically tested and proven, that they save some lives and extend many others.
Meanwhile there is much research going on in all types of cancer to try and find cures- dedicated hard work by those same people you suggest are conspiring to hide a cure
There is no conspiracy to hide or prevent a cancer cure in order to maximise profits. The conspiracy theory is an urban myth, a sort of game played by those who have not had cancer or close experience of it.
Think about it, if there were such a conspiracy:
*whoever discovered the cure would be keeping quiet, even though it would bring them fame and fortune. Any drug company discovering a cure would make more money than they can have dreamed of making up till now.
*every medical professional in the whole world would have agreed to keep the cure secret. Every single one. One blabbermouth, one disgruntled researcher or sacked nurse and the whole conspiracy’s blown.
*the thousands of people who would have to have been cured by it in order to prove it worked would be keeping quiet about it too. Newspapers and other media wouldn't have got a sniff of it.
*doctors, scientist, researchers etc would be watching their relatives die and dying themselves (they and their families develop cancer at the same rate as the rest of the population) even though they knew of a cure

Is there a cure via pharmaceuticals? No, I don't think so. Too bad money can't be made from natural substances. We need to spend more money studying these. My son has cancer and the cost is astronomical. Many patients in this country still have to die because of lack of insurance or because the insurance won't cover a particular drug.

This is a cure for cancer. Noone makes money from it as there is no drug involved.People have been cured.Let anyone suffering do it, and reap the benefit.Even healthy people can do it to stay healthy and relaxed.Try the method.
Cancer hates oxygen and cannot live in a high-oxygen environment.If you want to supplement the medical treatment you receive(or not receive) with some alternative therapy then this is for you. You need to help your body to build up your immune system.The breathing exercises - pranayam is a holistic approach creating extra oxygen supply in the body and will slowly help with the health problem.Do the pranayam to see the benefits.Build up your timing slowly and after four weeks at the suggested maximum duration you will start to notice benefits gradually.
What is known:Do the pranayam and reap the health benefit.How it works in the body is not known – but people may build their own theory.
The small print: Keep doing pranayam after you are better for minimum 30 minutes a day for rest of life to maintain health.
People who have been treated successfully, should do pranayam as well, as there is a chance of recurrence.
Monitor your conditions/results regularly and it will help you and others observe the progress.List existing conditions with any levels/numbers time spent on toilet seat,weight,BP,dental/eye/ear conditions including eye prescription numbers,sleep problems,blood results etc.
The pranayam techniques:
Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.
Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for upto 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.
Anulom Vilom - Deep Breath-in through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
then - Breath-out through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then -Deep Breath-in through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then - Breath-out through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
and repeat this cycle for upto 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 min/day).
Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.
Duration : 5 to 10 times
Only by doing you will benefit and will feel good that you can do something to help the body.Copy and print this to improve your technique and stay focused.This is simplified pranayam for everyone and you do not have to go to classes to learn. This is for life, unlike short term classes where you do it in the class then stop when classes are over.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/BgMIW
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

You cannot have a cure for a cold because there are over 300 types of it, and the virus will mutate really quickly because it is so common and become immune to any cure.
Cancer, i don't think a cure has been found yet, maybe further developments but not a cure.
