There's a new report out most weeks saying that we shouldn't eat this or that or do this because it causes cancer. It seems like EVERYTHING causes cancer these days...
The funniest one I saw was 'scientists have claimed that showering every day increases the risk of cancer'.

Lately I've seen a number of posters, demonstrations, rubber wrist bands, etc. all demanding "THE CURE" for cancer.
Written by: lightning
Now, the accusation is that drug companies have this cure but are quashing it because they make much more money treating sick people.

So... are you saying that the posters, demos, bands etc mentioned in the first quote are actually making the accusation mentioned in the second?

All these theroys that what we eat or how we live are lives can help prevent more mutation in the cells or create more, is to me a whole lot of rubbish. But people are allowed there own views.

hey it was years ago, you dont have say sorry, but thanxs
but anyway smoking and sun exposure do dramatically increase the chance of mutation of the cells, but not everyone who smoke gets cancer.

Okay, I learned about this on Nova about a month ago, and I've had difficulty finding information about it on the web, so I can't garantee the accuracy of anything I'm about to say.
They have recently discovered that cells have their own defence mechanism against viruses. Known as iRNA, it looks for bits of RNA that are folded a cetain way, and destroys them, and it also destroys the same bits of RNA that are just folded different. The thinking goes that we can introduce RNA into the cells that are folded that way, so that the iRNA will recognise that as bogus DNA and destroy every example of it they come accross. They think they can use this to cure countless viruses, arthritis, cancers, diabetes and other genetic disease.
But don't quote me on that. If anybody finds a website telling more about it, please post a link, I'm really interested by it.

JC virus, a member of the genus polyomavius, causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. It is also activated in immunocompromised hosts, such as AIDS patients. Human astrocyte cells were transfected with siRNAs directed against T antigen or agnoprotein coding mRNAs. Individually, siRNAs were partially effective but combined treatment of both siRNAs completely abolished JC virus capsid protein production. Similarly, siRNAs mediated inhibition of viral capsid protein VP1 and agnoprotein resulted in marked inhibition of JC virus production in human glial cells.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

OK I'm not posting this as a fact, but as a question.
The immune system primarily deals with 'foreign' stuff eg viruses that come into the body. True?
Cancer cells are not 'foreign'. They are a massive proliferation of some of own body cells (that have made a mistake in the process of division, which is incredibly complex and happens so many times per second that it's hardly surprising that occsionally it goes wrong)
So most of the time our immune system does not destroy our own cells,even cancerous ones, even when it is functioning well. If it did, we would have some sort of auto-immune disease. Our immune system is not designed to recognise the exact type of mutation that leads to cancerous proliferation... expecting it to would be like asking the washing machine to make our toast.
Am I on track here?

It always kind of tripped me out thinking about things like Cancer as evolutionarily helpful. That is, if a species has a certain self destruct mechanism built in, it will help the natural selection process. The worst think evolutionarily would be to keep a species alive past it's breeding age. Damn old people eating all my food.
That was my deep psuedo-science thought of the day.
