After reading a two day old article on cancer research, I find it hard to believe that scientists have just now found a way to eradicate the growth of cancer in the body. Nevertheless, the article describes the rapid mutation of a strong protein named, Gas6, which targets the Axl receptor. The protein binds tightly to the Axl receptor and disallows the communication of the rapid spread of cancer cells, known as metastasis. The protein was found to be non-toxic and terminated the spread in 70 to 80 percent of mice.
Because cancer causes such large revenue, it would not be beneficial for scientists to display cancer termination studies. Thus, I believe it more likely that this research and data has been around for years, as well as, other untold data that is more than likely to have the power to end humanity’s battle with cancer. Politically, it would add to the controversial topic of test-tube research and could reveal additional data that is hidden by the government to control the revenue and life span of the country’s citizens.
The article, which appears to be an innocent attempt to inform the public, is more than likely research that has been withheld from the public for over a decade. It is not surprising that the government would want to suppress such vital information.
