Intelligent Design?
A scientist begins by asking a question that can be answered by gathering evidence. Questions arise in all sorts of ways: for example, from observations, unexpected results, or the research findings of others. The scientist then develops an initial hypothesis, or possible answer to the question, arrived at based on past research or experience. In exploring the complex biology that enables cancerous tumors to grow, Dr. Judah Folkman formed his initial hypothesis based on decades of research. He suggested that tumors themselves can induce the formation of blood vessels, which in turn nourish the tumors. This phenomenon is called angiogenesis.

  • Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing it.

  • My father is currently receiving Chemo treatments and one of the applications in the IV is a capillary inhibiting drug. The purpose is indeed to "starve" the tumor - colon area - and perhaps reduce its size. At least inhibit its growth. Since the treatments began, the tumors (the original had metasticized) have responded appropriately with reduction in size. Thanks to Dr Muler in Toledo, Ohio.

  • What does this have to do with intelligent design?

  • It seems somewhat less than intelligent to create life in your own image in which you have built a method of ending that life in a really painful and devastating manner. Off the jaded-soap box, it is good to see that we are understanding cancer better and hopefully will lead to a cure.

  • yeah! all very great but the day they find cancer cures cancer stops being a business for Big Pharma, so no cure will ever be found....more there is already cure for cancer but it is silenced....Pharma says: the best illness is chronical illness, that's what they are doing now with cancer, they make you a chornic patiente until you die...that's is intelligent design!

  • cancers inhibit growth of other cancer cells.. perhapse an intelligent process? a rejection of group Identity. Draw upon Quorum sensing research... There is even cross communication between human cells and microbes.  That's how our gut works...

    I remember hearing about a Doctor that was able to convince cancer cells to stop being cancerous. he used a low dose of a drug shown to be toxic. the drug unbound locked DNA epigenetic binds. So in affect he didn't kill the cancer he reset it's DNA.

  • tumors are the creator's way of punishing evil rabbit corneas.

  • i didn't know they had youtube access in jail, kent.

  • woah! this is a huge step in helping to cure cancer:D and, as for intellegent design, yeah great intellegence in this design:P

  • Shame! Have you no shame? The same guys that make drugs so you can live past 55 years of age and you are going to say they will go to hell. If you really stand by your idea that this doctor is an evil individual then you should never use any type of drug.

  • A study of SEEDS in the field of ETHNOBOTANY could have provided this answer. A TUMOR is basically a seed that is growing in GOOD soil (in this case the diseased blood of the surrounding organ). Clean up the blood and you automatically SUPPRESS the profliferation of TUMOR(S). Science wastes TIME and MONEY on DETAILS while the main problem is still going on. They dont see the big picture.
