    How can you cure cancer TOO fast? I can’t imagine someone saying “They saved my life too fast >:(”

    • I don’t know if that’s what the article talks about, but there are experimental treatments in China, some of which have very little scientific backing. For example there’s some science behind cryotherapy to cure cancer, but then a few clinics started offering the therapy to the whole body when it should be used topically.

      However as the subtitles in the thumbnail above say, what else can you do when it’s your only chance? It’s the same reason people in the imperial core turn to alternative medicine like aromatherapy to cure their cancer. There’s nothing else to do, so you’re ready to try anything.

        Well… I read it (not finished, it was boring) . They talk about CAR-T treatment (made first time by an Israeli, lol) and how it saved the life of some people but didn’t save others… I mean, it is actually impossible to reach 100% of saved people from cancer.

        Despite, not having any source of the guys saved and dead, they have one article (https://www.cancer.net/blog/2017-06/asco-annual-meeting-2017-advances-immunotherapy-multiple-myeloma-and-mesothelioma-and-targeted) where they talk that CAR-T treatment may help a lot…

        I understand that it is sad to see deaths even with a new and encouraging method but in this field it is so difficult to make it. Furthermore, it is just a strategy to talk about the people that dies in a hospital in China when we already know, healthcare system in US is way worse…people dying in the streets because they can’t afford their operation. This treatment may not be the best, maybe it isn’t even 100% supported in science, but this is just a try to mislead the attention not to the real problem.
