Curing Cancer

  Two gentlemen in American History with whom you should become better acquainted with are Orville and Wilbur Wright. Yes, they owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio but they also had a dream and that was to take flight. With their own money, $1,600, they financed their venture while governments in France, Gt. Britain and the United States financed hundreds of thousands of dollars for ill-fated ventures. 

I've often thought there must be a reason our government has spent millions upon millions supporting cancer research over the years without the cure coming. Sure, we've made in roads but to date have not conquered this most horrid of diseases.

Well, hold onto your hats. There are a group of students, pharmacologists. at tiny Findlay College in Findlay, Ohio who may have hit upon the cure for brain cancer. They have developed a chemical compound that destroys gliobastoma (brain cancer) cells. And to think they did this without government funding.
