Good post... I have to agree with you that the efforts to cure are sincere. It was just sad to see that post since there are many like it.
Sorry to hear about your father... one of saddest parts of life... losing a loved one.
My dr has general direction to only give me whatever the standard/proven treatments are... not to try anything experimental. No resusitation either. When it's my time, I'd just as soon go without all of the unnecessary drama on myself or family.
I've also provided written instruction that in case of dementia that is deemed to be incurable I want to be euthanized. It's legal in California and I wanted my wishes documented while fully lucid. Dementia concerns me more than cancer since I've seen what it does to families.
Morbid, but, best to give instructions like this while relatively healthy.
And, yes, let's hope Kevetrin is helpful alone or in combo. My preference would be in the form of a shake. ;)

Lost my father to cancer a few years ago. He was a brilliant surgeon, war hero, and great man. He did not feel let down by the medical community or the pharma industry. He knew better. He also did not spend hundreds of thousands on hospital stays, experimental treatments, or quackery. Again, he knew better. He did the accepted (difficult) treatment regimen, lived the last year of his life like he always did (with love, purpose and strength) and accepted his fate.
There is no conspiracy to not cure cancers. There are in fact millions of incredibly bright, loving, hard working people working at many hospitals, clinics, and companies doing everything they can to treat them and cure them. And the financial incentives are huge, not to mention the personal, moral, and ethical ones.
Cancer is awful. So is blaming 'others' for not doing what we think they can and just "don't want to because they're greedy." That's a bad way to think and live.
IPIX is part of the wonderful effort to beat cancers. Let's hope Kevetrin can help.
