Chemotherapy, despite being the first-line option to treat cancer, adds only 2% to the 5-year survival rate of cancer patients according to a 2004 study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15630849/

Goldman Sachs has flat out questioned whether curing diseases is a sustainable business model, as it’s much more profitable to manage diseases on a longterm basis instead of curing anything: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/goldman-asks-is-curing-patients-a-sustainable-business-model.html

It’s the same subscription model logic that has BMW requiring subscriptions to heat car seats and why air conditioning and heating is designed with a limited shelf-life “programmed obsolescence” when models 50 years ago would last forever. https://www.news4jax.com/money/2022/07/18/bmw-is-selling-a-subscription-plan-for-seat-warmers

Would we even know if there was a cheap cancer cure as the medical complex would shelve it to keep profits high?

Frankly, no !

I don’t want someone who went to med-school tinkering with the minutiae of my life. They’ve seldom got it right in my experience, were hideous in college, worse on the campuses of grad school, total asses on cross-examination, and they jabb young people don’t they?

It’s broke. Can’t fix it.

Sounds quite good. Nevertheless I will watch and wait to see how it plays out, and what sort of modalities it uses. I won't ever blindly jump into anything medical at this point.

There's a profession that has been doing this patient-oriented care for a century, and can check all of the boxes in the article: naturopathic physicians.

There is another way: When we heal patients, which we try to do as directly and quickly as possible, they refer others, and those refer others.

This has been my business model through 16 years of practicing medicine. It hasn't made me rich, but my conscience is not troubled, because I wrack my brain everyday to try to address each individual's needs most effectively.
