Doug, Thank you for this concise journey of cancer innovations from 1940s to today. I think zooming out to see this big picture and the context inspires hope.

I especially appreciate your statements around the broader context 'These disparities remind us that scientific progress means little if its benefits don't reach all communities equally.'

Such a well-written and enlightening piece, Dr. Flora. We are in an amazing time… Challenge as we know for us is how do we make this possibility available to all?

This article should be required reading reading for many!

I added Ivermectin to Jim’s treatment 3 months ago. Getting ready to add hydoxichloriquine , too. It’s shrinking his lung tumor!

Have you read that most cancers are caused by parasites? There's an article here about a DR that injected mice with different type of cancers, in the mice then it turned into parasites. She was taken seriously, then she got cancer and cured herself by doing a parasite protocol, her own research.

Surprised by the absence of any reference to repurposed medicines, which quite a few are pursuing doggedly. Ivermectin, HCQ, Fenbendazole and a whole host of others. In fact, the future lies in them, where cancer therapy would become an outpatient activity. Only repurposed drugs have the multiple mechanisms to meet the multiple mechanisms of the disease itself. At a fraction of a cost.

As a recent diagnos-ee of what was probably a pediatric high-grade glioma, I’ll take this as copium. If not for me, for the future.
