In a new report, entitled, "Chronic Inflammation Can Help Nurture Skin Cancer, Study Shows" we are told the following:
QUOTE: "...Inflammation should really help prevent a tumor," says Dr. Andrew Mellor, director of the MCG Immunotherapy Center and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Molecular Immunogenetics. In fact, there is strong evidence that inflammation triggers the immune response. "You want a good immune response; this is what protects you from pathogens," he says. "In this case, it's an unfortunate exploitation by malignant cells..." QUOTE.
This "expert" appears to be unaware of the large body of evidence (plenty of which is not recent) connecting "chronic inflammation" (another way of saying arachidonic acid overload) to cancer (especially when LTB4 is involved). But there's something else here that is disturbing, particularly because it is so common. When these kinds of "experts" fail, or if something doesn't fit into their preconceived notions, they ascribe human motivations or abilities to entities that are clearly not able to act in this way. How many "HIV/AIDS experts" have claimed that "HIV" is "wily," and can do all kinds of "mysterious" things to "thwart" the immune system and the "great medical minds" of our age, for example? The big "mystery," if there is one, may involve how the "experts" are able to fail over and over again, and yet are never held responsible and dismissed from their venerable positions, so that others with different ideas can get the opportunity to do different experiments and try alternative approaches.
Such individuals seem to possess a very simplistic "cause and effect" view of biological phenomena, which seems to dispose them to view complex phenomena as a typical Hollywood movie, which a simple plot involving a "hero" and a "villain" (who may be a "monster"). So, as in many such film, the "solution" is "maximum firepower," which in the case of medicine, often leads to the "cure" being more dangerous than the "disease," though the general public is generally unaware of the dangers of the "miracle drugs" and "therapies" that are so commonly used these days by our "doctors."
