BioCurex's RECAF(tm) marker is found in all types of major cancers
Mcd2inga,
I agree with you. " I don't think their opinion/statement applies to universal markers."
Some have argued that a screening marker would need to be for a specific cancer. I don't initially care what the type of cancer is. I just want to know following a screening if I do or don't have cancer.
It seems that the scientists and the FDA have lost direction in the screening process.
For lack of better terms:
Why not monitor only a persons heart rate during an operation. Let the other vitals such as breathing, blood pressure, oxygen level, pain level, infection status etc. go unchecked. It will save a lot of money....Not!
Or
The screening of 300 air passengers on a flight. Lets check only for knives on monday, guns on Tuesday, bombs on Wednesday etc. No reason to check the baggage because are current technology that has been approved can only detect 50% of potential dangers in luggage.
Or
At the superbowl. Lets check only gates (1 through 5) out of 50 potential gates. Surely this will be good enough to prevent any problems.
We have this tremendous technology RECAF. It is not 100% perfect but it is damn close. What are we waiting for?
