Great Again: Truth, Failure & Solutions To The War On Cancer

By MD PhD Lloyd

Six iconic journeys of healthcare innovators illustrate the forces that stymie medical progress. The focus is on each leader's long and arduous road to redemption. Their stories are illustrative of the forces that facilitate impacts that could substantially improve the quality of many lives. This series can be a blueprint for the American people to "Drain the Swamp" in the healthcare space. The recent election reflects an undercurrent of discontent. Can the election presage an era of innovation as not seen since the American Revolution? We look at a world begging for just such opportunities to improve life. There is a palpable zeal in the cadence of the oppressed. Donald Trump is a standard bearer who leads by example. His bombastic attitude is contagious. Make America Great Again is a concrete goal. Trickle down.The impacts from removing the albatross of provincial thinking that has long stymied our vaulted American creative genius are manifold. The $100 billion War on Cancer has been a dismal failure. The first of the six visionaries cured childhood leukemia in the 1960s. The last declared victory over colorectal cancer earlier in this decade. What has been the response of the medical community? That 50,000 still die each year of the leading cause of cancer deaths among non-smokers (colorectal cancer) answers the question emphatically. Why, when 30,000 lives could be saved annually, has medicine turned a deaf ear to the revolutionary improvements in the mechanics of colonoscopy? The answer emerges from the pages of the book's evaluation of the heroes' path. The journeys comprise components that empower mere mortals to complete a transformational (and intended) purpose on earth. Some might claim that these leaders listened to their inner souls and in the process of maintaining a deliberate sense of purpose, found congruence with the will of God. We hope to apply lessons learned in these contexts toward the saving of untold thousands of lives, both physically and spiritually. Volume 1 delves into the history and remains factual. Volume 2 builds upon the foundation established by these leaders and fanaticizes an ideal environment to implement change. The dream team conquers cancer in Truth & Fiction.The opposition faced often seemed insurmountable, made worse once the malicious intent emerged as the motivation for their efforts. Each protagonist serves as an example of the Herculean efforts necessary to oppose the rising tide of conformity. Representative leaders in highly disruptive innovations experience similar obstructions. All six seemingly disparate tales join in a focus on a singular prize: Victory over cancer. That the culmination of these efforts results in a spiritual transformation, we draw parallels from religious, literary, psychologic and artistic sources. The Stations of the Cross distill the passion of Christ. We have selected the most relevant twelve of the various incarnations of The Stations in an effort to compare our six innovators along similar stages in their respective evolutions. We share the core belief that we can win the War on Cancer with an entirely new paradigm. It will not be new drugs, but earlier detection through technology that will turn the tide. Victory is within our grasp. We declare Victory, one cancer at a time. Fifty years ago childhood leukemia, today colorectal, tomorrow...
