Maybe some on here would take their giant cancer ridden balls and risk dying in the name of scientific discovery, but if I ever get cancer I'm going with the chemo/radiation option and scientific discovery can go screw.
When people are told theyre going to die in a few weeks or months they will sometimes try/do anything to find a cure. Sometimes these people help find new discoveries, other times they fall prey to scammers and their snake oil.

Thge problem here is the big drug companies, they dont want to loose their profits of selling glorified rat poison ( thats about all chemo is) to something that grows in the ground.
