vimesey:
And in the meantime, whilst Kleinman tries to peddle his religiously motivated garbage, actual scientists who actually understand how genetics work, have successfully cured a previously incurable cancer:

vimesey:
More evidence (as if any more were needed) as to whom to trust.


Apparently the doctors aren't so sure.
Six months later the cancer is undetectable, but Alyssa is still being monitored in case it comes back.
But let's hope for the best. I wonder if vimesey will keep us up to date on Alyssa's condition?

Aren't you going to call Alyssa's doctors, explain to them why their treatment will fail then read them Kishony, Lenski and Desai (Oh my!)?
Since you say all cancer doctors are so incompetent, and you hold the only keys to her survival, you should petition the court to take over her treatment. Once they read your published papers and see your stellar math skills you should easily convince the court of your superiority on this subject.
To not do so would be a violation of your oath.

Re: Kleinman Admits He's A Fraud.
Watchout everyone, Bonzo is getting ready to throw.
We threw. It's been on your face for 1000 messages now. It stinks and you wear it well.
You still can't counter anything said about your scam and fraud. Of course, since it's all true, you haven't any counter.
You are a fake and a fraud, Kleinman.

You still have no idea how science works. In science everything is tentative. The doctors would be guilty of malpractice and their hippocratic oath if they did not continue to monitor.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

I thought you know why cancer treatments fail. If you don't ask ringo, he has a bunch of imaginary links that explain this.

Give your imaginary links, millions of them, to AZPaul3 so he knows why cancer treatments fail. Here's one that isn't imaginary:
Drug Resistance, An Enemy of Targeted Cancer Therapies
This is why the doctors are monitoring Alyssa. Some cancer treatments fail after 5 years, for example, breast cancer treatment using estrogen blockers.

Bonzo thinks his backfires hit the mark. His aim is so good, he is going to explain to everyone how cancer treatments fail.

So, everyone who sees the doctor must be monitored into eternity, that's how medicine (and science) works according to Theodoric.

All wise Theodoric doesn't know why Alyssa is being monitored. Perhaps the great Theodoric should learn why cancer treatments fail.

But it didn't fail - it successfully removed every cancerous T-cell from her body.
Tell me Kleinman - are you praying that her cancer comes back and that she dies, just so that your bullshit can continue to be peddled ? Or would you rather a 13 year old girl (and after her, many, many more people) survive cancer, as a result of what looks a spectacularly promising basis for widespread cancer treatment ?

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

No, you stupid ass. I'm just being realistic as her treating doctors are. They know that cancer cells are not exact clones of each other and if they were only able to kill 99.99% of cancer cells (because some of the variants are resistant to their therapy), their treatment would ultimately fail unless Alyssa's own immune system could kill the remaining 0.01% of cancer cells. So stop being an idiot and learn how and why cancer treatments fail. You dummy.

Read the article in detail and see what they did with the re-engineered T-cells. They're not treating her with drugs - they are re-engineering relevant DNA.
Once again Kleinman - is it more important to you that you are the only person in the whole world who is right, or is it more important that people are able to survive cancer as a result of the actual scientists being right ?

It doesn't matter what the treatment is. If the treatment doesn't work on 100% of cancer cells, the treatment will ultimately fail (unless Alyssa's immune system can kill any remaining cancer cells). That's why her doctors are monitoring Alyssa. Your science is based on hope. Learn how cancer treatments fail, it is evolution, not your sloppy application of hope.
