Medical Forum / General / Alternative / January 2008Judah Folkman, Once Reviled by "Standard" Medicine, Dies.
Famed cancer researcher Judah Folkman has passed away at the age of 74. He endured 20 years of criticism on his theory regarding the blood supply to tumor cells before being ULTIMATELY VINDICATED, finally, in the mid 1990's after doing research leading to antiangiogenesis. So great were the criticisms and disdain accorded his ideas, that all funding was eventually denied him and he had to make do with a grant from Monsanto chemical. It would seem that the "war on cancer" does NOT TOLERATE new ideas very well. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=father-of-breakthrough-ca Citizen Jimserac >Famed cancer researcher Judah Folkman >has passed away at the age of 74.

But it does accept them sometimes -- unlike certain alties, who will never, ever change their minds no matter what the evidence. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at copper.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

By sheer persistence, and some luck, he was able to finish his research and provide something of benefit to humanity. THAT is the point. Suggested Reading: "The Secret History of the War on Cancer".

As he took money from a declared agent of Satan, how could he be trusted? >It would seem that the "war on cancer" >does NOT TOLERATE new ideas >very well. It tolerates ideas with evidence quite well. As it did after 1997 when he produced results and "angiogenesis inhibitors became the cancer therapy du jour". >http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=father-of-breakthrough-ca > >Citizen Jimserac  SignaturePeter Bowditch aa #2243 The Millenium Project http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles Australian Council Against Health Fraud http://www.acahf.org.au Australian Skeptics http://www.skeptics.com.au To email me use my first name only at ratbags.com |
