Something that will never be invented for obvious reasons?

There is a cure for cancer but it's so cheap to make and easy to do that the drug and hospital companies will never even try it. They couldn't make enough money from it. Also all these "non profit" organizations out there like the huge Susan Komen Foundation (you can't avoid the pink ribbon and related pink stuff that donates money to them these days) are too busy raking in donations to even consider it. All you need is baking soda and vinegar and a way to inject the mix into the bloodstream. You have to do a bit of digging online to find stories about this because "The Man" doesn't want anyone to know about it. If I ever get cancer, I'll try this treatment long before I'll ever subject myself to chemo. I think the chemo kills the patient faster than the cancer does.dmase said:

Anyone remember scratch and sniff stickers. I can think of a few "flavors" that probably shouldn't exist. Sad thing is I bet they do.
Are you serious? You cant be... I mean if you where kidding you would have a very sick sense of humor. So you must believe that or else you wouldn't be telling people that two chemicals that have a very violent reaction to each other are a cure for cancer.dukethepcdr said:
Yeah remember those volcanoes everyone associates with the science fair? The ones that you mix the stuff together drop it in then it foams up and all over the place, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and vinegar. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, and seriously if you get cancer I hope you don't have to find out the hard way how foolish what you propose is. Besides that you would actually get sick consuming either of those chemicals straight. You where not meant to consume something that so far off the PH scale from where the natural chemicals in your gut stay. The can actually trigger a acid reaction where you over produce acid and can possibly damage the inner lining of your gut. You have to do a bit of digging to turn up the story because it is ludicrous.
There is the whole "if it could be invented they'd come back to our time", but maybe they do and its use is heavily regulated. Like, they have to use some sort of crazy projection to make them look completely normal, and everything they do is monitored so they don't just start yelling about Skynet and giving the game away. Or maybe if you believe in parallel universes (damned if I know how good an idea that is), then the act of time travel creates an alternate; identical universe for them to be in, and since we already have ours then we'll never see them.Deef said:

As someone who wishes to specialise in oncology I'm amazed that you could believe something along those lines. Vinegar is acetic acid, which is the end product of the metabolism of alcohol in the body. Bicarb soda is just that, bicarbonate. Bicarbonate forms part of the pH buffering system of the blood according to the following equation,dukethepcdr said:
H+ + HCO3- CO2 + H2O
This is why you need to breathe out CO2, to stop the pH of your blood dropping and becoming acidic. Therefore, according to your logic all a cancer patient would need to do is drink alcohol, which would be metabolised in the liver to acetic acid and they would be cured! This is ludicrous and shows a distinct lack of knowledge of the physiology of the body. Please think before making silly claims like this again.
