nasdaq listing, page-8

Ibby,

"With all the negative talk about the US and doomsday theorists predicting another deeper financial crisis, would the Nasdaq listing be a good thing if the US did collapse.

PRR listing on NASDAQ worries me a little. PBT is a stock that i hold and i can tell you the price on the ASX is in perfect tune with the NASDAQ"

Imo, whilst "jackpot" Ben Bernanke is around I doubt we'll see another crash anytime soon. The doomsdayers have been calling a GFC2 for almost 2 years now... sooner or later, yes sure, one of the shoot-by-the-hip cowboy analysts are bound to get it right and boast of their correct prediction, whilst many quickly forgetting the previous 100 wrong calls.

With our dollar soaring and International hedge funds pulling their $billion dollar investments out of our labor government instigated diseased resource sector the whole Australian market will continue suffering as a consequence.

The sooner we are listed on the Nasdaq the better imo.

Where Prana Technologies are concerned, they unfortunately don't have the advantage of progressing under the shadow of the almighty insto and big brokerage firms backing dendreon so heavily. Those investors will also be very hungry for Prima once listed

As MR as stated numerous times there are many large and very interested US investors waiting our arrival.

jayson1,

""Ultimately, all you need to keep an eye on is what the experts over at the FDA think of CVac. Nothing else matters!"

Absolutely correct imo. Followed by the all important Nasdaq listing we could end up with the most successful Phase 3 trial results in the history of all prior approved medical trials and we will still be relying most heavily on a notoriously corrupt FDA to provide their approval.

The other point I wish to make is that many posters on here have suggested that CVac is being developed as an alternative to both surgery and the deadly chemotherapy treatment when, in fact this is not the case. Imo, it should be, but it's not unfortunately.

CVac is an immunotherapy vaccine administered post-surgery and post-chemotherapy to treat late-stage ovarian cancer patients. It is designed to delay relapse and control metastases.

I have no doubt that should CVac treatment preceed the extremely harmful effects of the white cell destroying chemotherapy treatments, it would stand an excellent chance of not only curing many cases of ovarian cancer but also provide a very successful preventative cure.

In a capitalist world of greed and power, would the FDA ever approve a highly successful cancer treatment that requires neither expensive surgery nor more the expensive poisen they call chemotherapy?

Unfortunately for all our suffering loved ones, not in our life-time imo.

"If cancer specialists were to admit publicly that chemotherapy is of limited usefulness and is often dangerous, the public might demand a radical change in direction - possibly toward unorthodox and nontoxic methods, and toward cancer prevention. ...The use of chemotherapy is even advocated by those members of the establishment who realize how ineffective and dangerous it can be." - Ralph W. Moss, author, The Cancer Industry:

Imagine that you own a house that is absolutely perfect and beautiful with all the necessities, except that it has some rodents inside. When you call the exterminators, they tell you that they won't be able to target just the rodents, as these rodents are of an especially stealthy breed. They tell you they're just going to set off a series of explosions in your house that may kill the rodents. They warn you, "Oh yeah, it may destroy some of your house in the process, but, hey, you want those rodents out of your house, right?" There's probably no way you would allow that; instead, you would do some research and find other, more specific and less generally destructive ways of getting rid of the rodents.

The allegorical exterminators' logic makes no sense; yet, it's the same logic that doctors who prescribe chemotherapy follow. Like the exterminators' explosions, chemotherapy doesn't exclusively target cancer cells; it also harms your good cells, destroying some of your body - your "house" - in the process.

As a result, many chemotherapy patients lose their hair, develop immune deficiencies, lose weight and vomit. Chemotherapy poisons your body as a whole in an attempt to kill the cancer cells before the "treatment" brings your body to an unrecoverable state. Click here for source of information

"Ever since the days of William Coley in New York, who pioneered in the year 1893 the use bacterial injections in an attempt to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer, physicians have attempted to harness the awesome power of the human immune system to fight tumours."

"Dr. Coley's patient lived for an additional twenty six years, and his tumour vanished. Such a success should have led to more and more sophisticated cancer immune therapies, but physicians chose the route of toxic chemotherapy, and harmful radiation to destroy rampaging tumours. Killing fast dividing cells by damaging their DNA seemed swifter than waiting for the body to mount a massive immune system attack on the tumour."

"In April of 2010, Dendreon Corporation became the first company in history to get Food and Drug Administration approval in the United States for Provenge, a product consisting of patients own cells, primed to target PAP a protein found in high quantities in prostate tumour cells."

Some further weekend reading for you to ponder over:

A simple cure for cancer

Amygdalin Laetrile - or in its concentrated form, it is called Laetrile.

"The history of science is the history of struggle against entrenched error.

It is not an outlandish claim by any means; from doctors being fired for requiring their staff to wash their hands, to the idea of vaccines being offhandedly rejected, history is replete with examples.

Perhaps most astonishing of all is the story of scurvy. Up until two hundred years ago, scurvy epidemics regularly decimated entire crews of ships. The British Navy recorded over one million sailor deaths due to scurvy between 1600 and 1800 alone. Scurvy is an extraordinarily painful disease causing bleeding from the nostrils, mouth, ears, and even the skin. For hundreds of years, scientists searched in vain for its cause, thinking that it was some sort of virus that lived in the dark holds of ships.

Then, in 1535, a French explorer got his ship stuck in a sheet of frozen ice by the St. Lawrence River. Before long, scurvy began to kill his crew off one by one. Twenty-five died, and many more were on their deathbeds until a friendly Native American showed them the simple cure - a drink made of tree bark that is rich in vitamin C.

When the sailors returned to Europe, they offered their story to the medical establishment, but the leading scientists would have nothing of what they smugly referred to as "simple witchcraft from savages." It wasn't until two hundred years later that a surgeon in the British navy made the same discovery. He noticed that oranges and lemons produced relief from scurvy and recommended that the British Navy include citrus fruits in their food supplies.

But the scientific community still didn't bite! They scoffed at the idea of something as simple as nutrition being able to put an end to one of the most torturous diseases in human history.

It took another half-century before the medical establishment finally advised the navy to stock ships with foods rich in vitamin C, but in the meantime, thousands more perished because of medical arrogance. When the Brits finally wised up, they became a naval power that was unrivaled by all other sea-faring nations. The British became known as "Limeys" because of the limes they once stocked on their ships to prevent scurvy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the empire on which the sun never set was largely built as a result of overcoming scientific prejudice against vitamin therapy.

That may be history, but it's not all in the past:

Pellagra offers a similar story. In 1914, a doctor proved that it was a disease caused by a vitamin B deficiency, but it still took another thirty years for the medical establishment to accept the vitamin theory of pellagra as legitimate medicine! It is an unfortunate fact of history, that science has a strange aversion to nutrition as valid medicine.

Cancer is a vitamin deficiency disease like Scurvy and Pellagra.

Many renowned researchers and doctors from all across the world have come to this very conclusion. Consider the following: a chronic disease is one that does not go away on its own. A metabolic disease is one that occurs from within the body and is not transmittable to another person. Cancer is therefore a chronic, metabolic disease.

In the entire history of medical science, there has not been a single chronic, metabolic disease that was ever cured or prevented by drugs or surgery. In every case, whether it be scurvy, pellagra, rickets, or any of the others - the cure was found only in factors relating to adequate nutrition, usually a very specific vitamin deficiency.

In the same way doctors once dealt with scurvy, virtually all cancer research is dedicated to looking for something which causes cancer instead of the lack of something. Imagine doctors from centuries ago scrambling to care for scurvy patients by trying to stop the profuse bleeding scurvy causes, when all they really needed to do was nourish their patient with a couple of oranges.

This is exactly how modern doctors treat cancer; they attack only the symptoms of cancer, and almost never attempt to research what actually causes the disease within the human body. As one researcher observed, "The tumor is not the disease; it is merely the symptom of the disease. Orthodox medicine is totally focused on the tumor. To most oncologists, the tumor is the cancer."

3. Vitamin B17 prevents cancer in the same way that vitamin C prevents scurvy.

If cancer is in fact a vitamin deficiency disease, then there must be an essential vitamin that has been edited out of modern man's diet. Further, preventing or controlling cancer would be as simple as restoring this food compound to our daily diet.

Over the past century researchers from a number of fields have discovered such a vitamin; the scientific community calls it amygdalin, or simply vitamin B17, and in its concentrated form, it is called Laetrile.

Vitamin B17 is indeed present in foods that westerners once ate in abundance but have, over time, ceased consuming. For example, while vitamin-B17-rich millet was once the world's largest staple grain, it has been replaced by wheat, which has practically no vitamin B17 at all. Similarly, sorghum cane, also rich in vitamin B17, has been replaced with sugarcane, which has a low nutritional value. Apple seeds also contain the vitamin, and while it was once common for apple cores to be consumed along with the rest of the fruit, people rarely do so at present. It has come to the point that westerners consume almost no vitamin B17 on a regular basis.

How do we know this vitamin works? Well, aside from lab research, researchers from a number of fields have observed vitamin B17 working in nature. If you have a pet, you may have noticed that it will often search for certain grasses to eat even when it is completely full, and if an animal is sick, its instinct to consume these grasses is even greater. A nutritional examination of the grasses they select has revealed that they all contain an especially high concentration of vitamin B17.

Why, then, is vitamin B17 suppressed? It's complicated, but the simple answer is that the government-run medical system has evolved in such a way as to disallow the prescription and testing of vitamins as preventative or curative agents. Like the doctors who once rejected vitamin C as a cure-all for scurvy, modern-day doctors have been taught to seek only complicated solutions to cancer.

But that's not all vitamin research and therapy is up against. In this day and age, more people are making a living off of cancer than are dying from it. The cartels that dominate the oil, drug, and chemical industries have proven to be an enemy far greater in power than the mere medical arrogance they complement. With their lobbyists and contributions to our politicians and medical schools, these corporations have become the hidden arm that controls our government health agencies and medical school curricula.

One needs only examine the FDA's response to vitamin B17 as a form of cancer therapy to see the fraud that is prevalent. For years, the FDA has said that substances containing vitamin B17 are dangerous because they contain cyanide. Yet, at the same time, the FDA maintains that vitamin B17 is not an effective cancer treatment because there is no way to release the cyanide it contains, making it ineffective against cancer cells.

Both of these conflicting theories have absolutely been proven false - vitamin B17 has been proven to be one thousand times less toxic than a single aspirin tablet and even less toxic than sugar. Research has also conclusively shown that the vitamin releases cyanide and destroys cancer cells when it comes into contact with them.

Vitamin B17 cannot be patented because it is found in nature. Big money can be made only with patented drugs. Therefore, the cancer industry will never be interested in amygdalin, no matter how effective it may be. Instead, they will seek to create a man-made chemical to imitate the mechanism by which it works. Since the mechanism by which amygdalin works is the selective release of cyanide at the cancer site, it is logical that the moguls at Sloan-Kettering were "not enthusiastic about studying amygdalin but would like to study cyanide-releasing drugs instead.

5. Knowledge alone is useless. Only knowledge with action is power.

It would be a reversal of the facts to say that a free market is responsible for this mess. While it is true that the only goal of the drug cartels is profit, it is important to realize that it is government that has used force and fraud to protect the cartels' bottom line.

When taken alone, the profit motive harms no one, but when corporations employ government force to do their bidding in the guise of "protecting the people," valuable medical knowledge is suppressed.

In a truly free market, where competition is protected by the government rather than stifled, the medical use and research of vitamin B17 would be available to all Americans. Every American should be allowed analyze the information for himself and make personally informed decisions.

There is absolutely no reason for the FDA to have the absolute power to tell us what medicines and foods we may use. The only legitimate function of government in the field of health should be to police labeling to protect against fraudulent misinformation and to ensure that the public is correctly informed about the products it buys.
