“Cancer is as lucrative a business as a war, so if you ain’t expecting peace then why expect a cure.” Dadgummit that hit me like a sack of bricks… even more so cause I lost my dad to cancer a few years back now.
So, I studied under some cancer researchers and it isn't *quite* accurate. The bulk of the research into "curing cancer" isn't done by pharmaceutical companies, it's done at academic institutions and private labs. We have some treatments now for certain cancers that have a better efficacy rate than most prescriptions. There are a few cancers simply not considered terminal anymore, so long as you get treatment. His general sentiment is pretty spot on, obviously--I'm not trying to argue against anything. But in reality if a cure was developed for cancer (which is misleading, because different cancers would have different treatments; "cancer" is more of a classification of conditions that have similar behaviors than a singular thing) it would get sold to big pharma for billions, then they would hold the patent on it likely for 17yrs during which time they would charge absolutely ridiculous rates at U.S. hospitals while dumping it on the European market for pennies on the dollar. Fun fact: for a long time, many chemo drugs were failed antibiotics. They were drugs designed to be antibiotics but the side effects were too severe. )We have a greater threshold for them with chemo drugs.)
More and more cancers are treatable and survival rates are going up. Also, there cannot be a cure for "cancer". There are many types of cancers, and they all require different treatment. This whole "There's money in it, so they won't look for a cure" is bullshit. A "cure" for cancer would be a goldmine.

Your last line made so much sense to me and I’m not usually a “they’re hiding cures” person as much as I just believe it can still currently very complicated to reverse a cancer, and prevention is likely easier but still very hard because of environmental reasons.
More importantly, there may well be a cure, but there's no need to hide it: you just don't need to be actively searching for it. Cures aren't as lucrative as treating symptoms. But yeah, it'd help if we weren't breathing, eating, and lathering cancer on ourselves daily.
@@LordVader1094 No, there isn't a "cure". That's not how cancer works. It's many different diseases that all require different treatments and all have different causes. "Cures aren't as lucrative as treating symptoms", where do you get the idea that cancer treatment is basically about treating symptoms? It's just not true. Cancers are extremely difficult to treat, so many treatment options are just very crude and can be dangerous themselves. If there were a cure, EVERYONE would take that option, so the company that discovers said cure would've struck gold. Anyway, survival rates have consistently been going up. Doesn't really rhyme with your narrative, does it?
@@LordVader1094A cure would be more lucrative, because you would completely control the market. There would be no competition. You could set whatever price you want.

But dude imagine how much you could exploit the working class if they don't die for 200 years? It makes sense to find a cancer cure from all perspectives.

Watched all 4 videos so far and they are great. This is some of the best music I've come across in a long time and its not being sang by some freak. Just a guy in the woods with his guitar. I wish more folks were as aware of the world as this guy is. Keep em coming bro!
As someone who has lived with diabetes for the majority of my life, I've always been told "A cure is coming in the next five years!".... yeah that last line couldn't be more true.
The cure for diabetes is nutritionally dense food. Diabetes was created, no one is born with it. Get away from too much carbs, get away from too much sugar, get away from the fillers in food. Acv, minerals, and lots of vegatables. The liver needs to be repaired for diabetes to go away. 😬
If these things could be "cured" at all it's likely they would have been by now. Some of the most brilliant minds with the best intentions & no shortage of funding are working 24/7 on such problems. So whilst i understand the sentiment, that perhaps a "cure" does exist but it's been shelved because there's too much profit in the treatment; it is extremely unlikely that's the case.

love the whole vid from the background to your lovely head of hair, oh and your awesome voice, fantastic!
Thank you for posting the full version here.
Followed you from tik tok. Love your tunes always a hit brother can’t wait to hear your Columbia university song
I’m currently watching every video you’ve released so far and I got to say you are so refreshingly different, talented, ect. You’ve EARNED a fan!
Watched all 4 videos so far and they are great. This is some of the best music I've come across in a long time and its not being sang by some freak. Just a guy in the woods with his guitar. I wish more folks were as aware of the world as this guy is. Keep em coming bro!
Your songs are so amazing!!
Truths upon truths, took my grandad too young; I miss him daily.
Man, I am listening and I feel it. Don’t stop.
Perfect. It's insane how much a late friend of mine reminds of you, looks and all.
Amazing song, like seriously this is the kind of music ive been looking for. Keep at it
The vibes are golden dude. This was perfect modern folk.
Wow, this guy is like a new Townes Van Zandt lyrically, vocally, and in terms of raw talent. Charisma out of this world.
Lost my brother to cancer. January 25th, 2024. Keep doing what you are doing. Right on.
Wow man you have an insane talent for cutting songwriting, a welcome breath of fresh air in today's world. Lovin' your stuff man keep it up
As someone who has lived with diabetes for the majority of my life, I've always been told "A cure is coming in the next five years!".... yeah that last line couldn't be more true.
The cure for diabetes is nutritionally dense food. Diabetes was created, no one is born with it. Get away from too much carbs, get away from too much sugar, get away from the fillers in food. Acv, minerals, and lots of vegatables. The liver needs to be repaired for diabetes to go away. 😬
If these things could be "cured" at all it's likely they would have been by now.
Some of the most brilliant minds with the best intentions & no shortage of funding are working 24/7 on such problems.
So whilst i understand the sentiment, that perhaps a "cure" does exist but it's been shelved because there's too much profit in the treatment; it is extremely unlikely that's the case.
Man, you are so talented. Amazing song
