Leslie, thanks for the back up! The first couple of post were getting a little rough. I was not trying to raise any false hopes of a super cure all for cancer. But from my take on the article, it seemed like a little used and cheap drug could be the big bullet in 5-10 years with a couple of good clinical studies. Now how broad of a killing capability for different cancers the studies would have to prove. Would the HPV angle play in? I would like to think somebody or some cause would persue this. I would really hate it if simple treatments are overlooked simply because somebody can't make a fortune in returns and cancer victims keep paying the price.
