gizmodo.com— The ancient Greeks called the thapsia garganica plant "deadly carrot," because their camels would eat it and quickly die. The Roman emperor Nero mixed it with frankincense to treat bruises.

This is actually one of the more promising ones. Too bad big pharma isn't going to allow it. It would hurt their the profits they make off the symptom treating drugs.
Perhaps a group of wealthy billionaires could be petitioned to buy the patent and release the treatment freely for any company to produce? ...Yeah I doubt that will happen too, but you never know. It would be one hell of a way for all involved to score points with the public.
I've been reading cancer curing related articles for a while on Digg , hence why people used to say Digg cures cancer on a weekly bass lol but I really do see a lot of promise with this particular method, its unkque, target based and doesn't offer any major side effect; as long as we continue to come out with these kinds of innovative research I have no doubt in my mind that we're closing in on a viable cure.
"So far, researchers are excited and hopeful because they've cranked up the dosage more than they ever thought possible, and still have not seen side-effects in patients."
Does that mean that the most powerful anti-cancer drug ever could be sold over the counter?

Wait, PBS had a special on a chemist who came up with this years ago. The company he formed was called "Insert Therapeutics". Is this them?

So it's been cured again. Sounds good. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next cure also.
Honestly though, it'd be great if it works and people actually get to use it.
