Responding to my last post on Goanet, the following was spammed to me and few Goans and some Goan websites. Likely a Goanet violation. Obviously some 'do not get it' about NOT spamming. Despite my earlier statement about ending this thread, it is important to spare Goans on Goanet and elsewhere the mis-information thrust on them about cancer. So moderators and goanetters, please excuse me for tapping into your patience.
After recognizing his mistake about the 'definition of cancer cure', Santosh did what he does best. Back to web-surfing and the usual "cut and paste" with the web-link. I do not know what he would do without the web. Yet, he has FAILED AGAIN to "read, understand and digest" the topic being discussed and what he reads. Based on definition he provides below (with QUOTES and web-link reference); if a person with cancer is treated and three months later has "restore health" (far from scientific term) and is back to work, that means he/she is cured of their cancer. And the therapy for "treatment to restore health" three months later is considered curative therapy. This definition DOES NOT even INCLUDE: "no sign of cancer" after testing etc. BTW, even with 'no sign of cancer', it does not mean the patient is cured. It may be called 'remission'. Santosh in his reply below is showing the shortcomings of references without understanding the material he reads. Thanks Santosh for the "show and tell". Venantius and others please note how people hide behind a reference, while sounding intellectual. Further, after another chance, what we see is ignorance (of medical knowledge) and foolishness. If I showed his following "definition of cure" of cancer to anyone, they would question Santosh's medical knowledge (training) and analytic ability (as a research scientist). Now I can understand why Santosh does not write anything original on Goanet. And confines himself to web-surfing, and demonizing others both in what they write and personally; while presenting himself as intellectual. That is of course a poor strategy. Insulting others is an appalling substitute for knowledge for a researcher and a pathetic display of lack of decency and class. I am given to understand that all this is saved in the archives of President Pandurang library - a great resource for future generations of Goans. My sincere advice to Santosh: "Quit while you are ahead". Goanetters have had enough 'pirachit' for the weekend. I am embarrassed to analyze your writings. And surely many others, with whom you have crossed swords, feel the same. How can we save you from yourself? Most goanetters (me inlcuded) avoid dialog with you; despite you thrusting yourself on us via Goanet or spam mail.

Here it is now at the same NCI website I had provided in my earlier post: QUOTE cure To heal or restore health; a treatment to restore health. UNQUOTE http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/?CdrID=318813 I had also provided earlier on Goanet a more quantitative definition of cancer cure based on my critical reading, understanding and study of the latest original papers on cancer epidemiology by international experts such as Herman Brenner.
