- randyzaia, on 08/11/2008, -7/+854Digg has cured cancer 20 times and AIDS like 32 times.
- j1ggy, on 08/11/2008, -19/+365CAPS are LAME.
- Shiftgood, on 08/11/2008, -3/+302They better get their patent quick, because ive seen at least 8 cures for cancer in the last month on digg.
- justdru, on 08/11/2008, -4/+298CANCER... cured daily at Digg since November 2004.
- realn0whereman, on 08/11/2008, -5/+163yeah cancer has been cured 20 times already... my favorite are the 2 AM infomercials of how broccoli and garlic can cure it.... with the purchase of a recipe book, that includes the cure for cancer when you cook the vegetables in a secret way that has been passed down from jesus himself.
- Rotzooi, on 08/11/2008, -6/+140***** cancer research, where are my pitless cherries?
- coinman987, on 08/11/2008, -7/+101I've read the article and I wish they would've elaborated on how a possible cure for leukemia could also treat asthma. If I'm not mistaken leukemia is a form of cancer of the blood and asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways. Nevertheless, interesting article, I hope this works out.
- andre9, on 08/11/2008, -1/+91No no no... Digg has cured cancer...this is CANCER... big difference.
- Azohko, on 08/11/2008, -4/+87If someone who browses Digg gets cancer, they're going to go to the doctor thinking "no problem, cancer has been cured, just give me that treatment that I Dugg yesterday".
Be Ready for a rude awakening. - sputza, on 08/11/2008, -0/+72Don't tell cancer, they will issue a patch next Tuesday.
- PeteBeast, on 08/11/2008, -2/+68I just hope this is the real deal and not something to get people's hopes up. We'll see the results in due time.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -4/+66$10 says this "secret" goes absolutely nowhere.
- wbeavis, on 08/11/2008, -0/+57Oh, they have made them...but they cause cancer. I think you see where this is going.
- Shoebox639, on 08/11/2008, -50/+100Science will cure cancer.
God does/can/will not. - VitriolAndAngst, on 08/11/2008, -3/+4821 times is the charm -- keep hope alive!
- BoneheadFarker, on 08/11/2008, -0/+44FTFA:
"The GM-CSF hormone - which controls the production of blood cells in the body - works by attaching itself to the receptor proteins, which then send a message into white blood cells telling them to multiply.
When damaged, the protein's messages cause an over-production of cells or cells which persist too long, resulting in diseases such as leukaemia as well as some inflammatory conditions"
The same mechinism that causes luekemia can also cause inflammation. Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the respiratory system. I'm just hoping that this can be linked to Crohn's Disease too... - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -2/+45While that is true, how does this relate to the article?
- mKdiR, on 08/11/2008, -10/+50***** you, cracked is hilarious
- thomasthecat, on 08/11/2008, -2/+38CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
- ngmcs8203, on 08/11/2008, -0/+35Just as to elaborate a little, not all forms of leukemia are non-curable. I was diagnosed with ALL at the age of 3, went into remission at 8 and was labeled cured at 11.
- 64705, on 08/11/2008, -12/+47That almost sounds like a MrBabyMan submitted article.
- P5ycHo, on 08/11/2008, -6/+36Not in this case.
- Cleremond, on 08/11/2008, -11/+37I concur....between the DCA (Dichloracetate) cure (which I honestly DO believe in), The Essiac Tea Therapy which cured my co-worker's Dad's cancer, the silver/gold magnetic resonance cure (that resulted in another HHO water fuel discovery), the megadose of intravenous Vitamin C therapy used in Germany that's been proven to cure cancer, the injected dye vs. dye eating enzyme therapy that was mentioned in Popular Science several years ago that we never heard anything more about, and numerous other lab tested and confirmed cures for cancer....
This will go nowhere. Even IF it works. Big Pharm doesn't want to CURE cancer. They want to continue to TREAT cancer.
Same thing for Type 1 diabetes. They've proven that capsaicin injections into the pancreas stimulate the production of insulin in Type 1 patients. They've also demonstrated that the tuberculosis vaccine flat out cures Type 1 all together. But, you'll never see these therapies released to the public, because it would destroy multi-billion dollar industries. So....we'll continue to die untimely deaths to support the profit centers of others.
I hate humans. 8^( - jtbell04, on 08/11/2008, -1/+27Cancer will just come out with a patch that will render the crack useless.
- geniuswaitress, on 08/11/2008, -3/+28I confess that I only clicked this article because I thought it had something to do with CRACKED.
- xaogypsie, on 08/11/2008, -0/+25Leukemia is a blood cancer, a mutation found in the bone marrow. In my case, the mutated cells releases a protein (ABL protein, I think) that kicks the bone marrow into overproduction mode for white blood cells. This ends up forcing mutated white blood cells into the bloodstream, packs the bonemarrow full, and eventually immature white blood cells start overtaking the blood. Nasty way to die.
Although I am not curable by chemo/medication (and might not survive a transplant), they are able to use a chemo drug that inhibits that protein. It does other stuff, but I don't really understand it all. Basically, I'll live a normal life with leukemia, as if it were diabetes (ie needs to be watched and controlled). - tdelet, on 08/11/2008, -20/+45Except if it comes from CRACKED.COM it will be as funny as cancer.
- xister, on 08/11/2008, -9/+31Hey buddy, I had two friends that died from cancer!
Awww, that doesn't really work... - ekdevdas, on 08/11/2008, -0/+19good luck mate!
- Definition, on 08/11/2008, -0/+18BUT EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU HAVE TO STEER
- wing05, on 08/11/2008, -0/+18As long as I can remember, there've been new breaking cancer treatments and cures posted on sites like Digg for the last 10 years.
Among them.
- Infect cancer patients with modified cold/aids/or whatever virus.
- Radio waves.
- Repurposed old drugs that put a big target for the immune system on cancer cells.
- New drugs
Within the last 5 years, I've watched 3 people in my circle of family and friends die too young from cancer and there are 2 more fighting for their lives right now.
Make mention of any of these therapies and nobody knows what you're talking about or might give a standard canned answer of it being experimental in a university lab somewhere around the world with no human trials going on. And that the best course of action is chemo, ectomies, and then palliative care.
Stop getting our hopes up. - max1018, on 08/11/2008, -3/+20Oh well. So what we got next week to cure cancer, eh? When will this ***** actually get to see the light of day and start saving lives?

etc... - law1ess, on 08/11/2008, -2/+16I hope they can put the secret back together again...
- Metasquares, on 08/11/2008, -2/+16Do you think cancer patients aren't trying those remedies? Do you think we would still be using chemo and radiation as our primary treatment modalities if people were being cured that way?
- Millsee, on 08/11/2008, -5/+19I seE whAt You DiD tHerE
- Chirp08, on 08/11/2008, -0/+13Yeah, but THIS time it's true because.... [give me a few minutes to find what I said last time]
- taikahn, on 08/11/2008, -0/+13I love hearing positive stuff like this. Thanks for the post.
- BXRWXR, on 08/11/2008, -2/+15Samefag? What is /b/ /b/roken or something?
Tard. - unfinite, on 08/11/2008, -0/+12this is SPARTA
- Tyrghast, on 08/11/2008, -0/+12All I know is if the cure for cancer is found in marijuana, I am going to be a very rich man.
- MasterThief117, on 08/11/2008, -0/+12I hear putting bengay on your balls works.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+12It's digg. Of course it's not the real deal. We should have cured cancer 100 times by now at least.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 08/11/2008, -1/+13The CURE FOR FRICKEN' CANCER is something that deserves all caps and gold embossing.
However, the next version of Gears of War, will probably get all caps from some fanboy and I will get slapped down for "why the caps?" Maybe by someone like yourself you thinks that this is nothing to get excited about. If you live long enough, someone you know is going to die of cancer. - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11Of a few thousand "cure for cancer" articles that have come across digg, I have not seen a single one of them hit a drugstore shelf or become a prescription. This has been going on for a long time now. Before sites like this, these articles would be in popular science, discovery and others. Yet to this day, there are still no "cures" for cancer. This is getting old. Rick-roll old.
- BelatedHero, on 08/11/2008, -1/+12But I thought Kevin Trudeau had already found the cure for cancer.
- Schmich, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11The day it's actually cured we will bury it as we think it's false and therefore spam/inaccurate :P
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -22/+32Australia ftw.
