27,000 men die every year from prostate cancer. Why won't the FDA allow men to use a non toxic, non invasive safe and effective immunotherapy? Why are some certain individuals allowed to milk the prostate cancer cash cow with toxic chemotherapies that sometimes do more harm than good when a safe treatment is available right now? The corrupt FDA.

Researchers have worked to develop a number of vaccines to help the immune system fight tumors. Cancer vaccines are not intended to prevent cancer; rather, they are used to boost immune responses to preexisting tumors. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, vaccines have relatively low toxicity and, potentially, a high degree of efficacy.
