To begin....

A few months ago I decided to see if I could find the oldest article published concerning the type of cancers I was working with (head and neck cancers), and, to my great shock, there was an article published in 1917. This article explained the changes in neck tissues which confirmed that the patient had cancer. They knew that the changes were deeper than just the physical morphology that they could see. Interestingly enough, an article published in the early part of this year also had the exact same diagnostic pictures and explanations concerning neck cancers,except that the recent article also was able to show the micro-morphology that the earlier article could not explain, because they did not have the microscope available.
This got me to thinking that maybe we need to do more rear-view mirror research, to return to what was originally known about cancer and attempt to find the cure by not asking the same questions that have been asked for the last 100 years.
I will be reading and citing scientific research articles, but I hope to explain them in 'plain English,' so that you can understand what is being said. So here we go...

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought
