when Dr Otto Warburg won the nobel prize over 50 years ago for proving that cancer cells were damaged by the presence of oxygen in the body, and were anaerobic growths. Why hasnt anything been done about this, we know that oxygen kills cancer, now all we would need to do is flood the body with oxygen, allowing it to kills all cancer cells within weeks, if not days. It really sucks that politics and coporations wish to continue convincing people there’s no cure for cancer, when they know damn well there’s.


Answer:
Poor old Otto, his research must be among the most misrepresented in the world.

Dr Warburg won the 1931 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine not for finding a 'cure for cancer' but for”for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme”, His research with tissue slices led to the discovery of oxygen-transferring enzymes in cellular respiration. But his research never showed that oxygen use by normal and cancer cells was different. What he did find was that cancer cells produced lactate from glucose in the presence of oxygen whereas normal cells only produced lactate from glucose in the absence of oxygen. This observation led him to conclude that energy metabolism in cancer cells was defective .

By 1960, research had identified nearly all energy-producing metabolic pathways in both normal and cancer cells and showed that energy-producing systems in normal cells were the same as those found in cancer cells .

Interestingly, it's often claimed Warburg won a second Nobel Prize for his work in 1944; he didn't, it went to Joseph Erlanger and Herbert Spencer Gasserhis that year, but it's become part of the Otto Warburg folklore. The year he did win it, his Nobel lecture didn’t contain the word 'cancer' at all, which is odd if that's what he was getting his award for.

The 'secret cure for cancer' conspiracy theory is a game played by people who haven't had, studied or been close to cancer.

'This information is hidden'? No it isn't, it's available to anyone with access to a personal or a library. How is that 'hidden'?


Answer:
are you kidding me? flooding the body with oxygen will kill someone. if you inject oxygen into your body… YOU'LL DIE!!! ever heard of the bends (bubbles in your blood), if that's enough to kill you then “flooding” your body with it certainly is too. there’s no cure. nothing that’s substantial enough to actually work.

Answer:
idk. honestly. maybe too much oxygen hurts the body…. idk

Answer:
I'm not an expert, but as far as I know Warburg didn't win his Nobel price for his hypothesis, but for his general work with cancer cells.

His hyopthesis has not yet been proven or been falsified. Even as a total amateur in this field I still think big amounts of Oxygen in your metabolism can damage you qutie considerably. (There is a thing such as Oxygen poisoning).

I also don't know about the politics and corporations part. If you could state more sources than Warburg himself, that tried to proof the hypothesis and have been held back or hindered I'd concur with you.

Their reasons for this (if they do so)? Well if there is actually more profit in cancer-therapy without a cure than there’s in curing cancer there’s no question.


Answer:
WOW!! So you’re telling me that I’ve seen physicians allow their loved ones to suffer and die from cancer, and even some of the physicians themselves, when they knew there was a cure?! They have to really be keeping a tight lid on this one. Oh, sorry, I forgot politics and corporations convinced them it doesn’t exist.

Well you know it does and like you said all it takes is “man is willing to submit to experiments and facts.” So, sure why not? Go ahead, grab the bull by its horns and go for it! You already know the facts all you’ve to do now is submit to the experiments. I am sure the rest of us will be forever grateful.
