   You have no understanding of cancer; cancer researchers   
   and cancer "experts" realize how little understanding   
   they have.   
      
   We have not yet found a way to control the numerous viruses   
   which cause the various types of "common cold", and they are   
   at least clearly foreign objects, and we know much more about   
   them than about what goes wrong with the body's cells when   
   they become cancerous.  What is it which causes some cells   
   to grow out of control?   
      
   Frankly, I doubt that cancer in general will be under much   
   control in a half century.  The human, or even primitive   
   animal, body is far more complex than anything we have built.
