If the conventional approach to cancer treatment is not producing positive results fast enough, why is medical science not directing its energies and intelligence toward a change in strategy?  The fact is that those operating where the rubber meets the road are advocating change.  Researchers want to make something better for the physicians.  Physicians want to provide something better for their patients.  But, the environment of institutionalized medicine is not conducive to change.  The American health industry has been building for years to become the world leader in its field.  Millions of people benefit daily from its immeasurable successes, although many are victims of its inattention to their particular needs.  Regrettably, the growth of any such industry generates a bureaucracy that is resistant to change.  Like an obese person who can’t alter his diet regardless of what his body is telling him, the medical science bureaucracy does not change easily regardless of the urgency.
