By the time you finish watching your favorite TV drama, somewhere in a faraway lab the cancer cells will already be dead. Oleocanthal, the primary phenolic compound found in extra-virgin olive oil, has been shown to eradicate cancer cells in less than an hour, giving scientists hope that targeted drug options in the future may be possible.

    Wonderful news from a really annoying and noisy connection. Hit the mute button. It mocks you.

      Siorry, I didn't even notice. I have all auto-play video turned off on my computer, so I only have to see it if I choose to. It appears as a big "play" button icon, and I do not click it. You can probably turn it off in your browser settings if you are irritated enough.
      One of my biggest complaints about the evolution of the internet is all the rubbish that automatically popsup, pulls down, and auto plays with any specific action by the user. Its all about force feeding advertising and its starting to be as bad as cable tv. As a programmer i know it isn't necessary. It's just poorly designed on purpose.

    Yes. And mary jane was recently seen showing promise killing cancer. People have infused high-dose vitamin C to kill cancer.

    If we can pry pharma's hands loose from the racket I think we might kick this thing in the butt. Soon.

      My father was diagnosed with hopeless liver cancer and given 3 months to live. His alternative physician used vitamin C IVs and the cancer disappeared. Pretty amazing

        Thanks for sharing. This kind of thing should be big news, huh?

          I wish it was. When you look at cancerous tissue under the microscope it looks similar to scurvy. But vitamin C is very cheap, so there's no incentive to spread the word. I have no idea how many people it would work on, but I sure would like to see some research done.

            Did you see the NZ 60 Minutes program on the topic of Vitamin C via IV? Hospital did everything they could to stop it but the family insisted and the patient recovered until the hospital stopped the IV. Then he relapsed and the family insisted on C IV again. He recovered again, and the experts still refused to accept that Vit C was the reason.

              Wow. See...the medical system can't make a mint on this so they'll fight you. I have seen so much similar corruption (best word I can think of) in the medical system. It's really very sad...
