Cure for cancer.

Using a new berry that is very particular on where it grows, and only grows in North East Australia, can cure non-metastatic cancer. For those unaware, metastatic means that the cancer has grown to another part of the body, and isn't the original tumor, this berry has a 75% success rate on it's first attempt, and works with roughly 15 days.

This is phenomenal, and I hope it isn't worth and arm and a leg to create the compound out of the berry. There was a man who had discovered a completely organic insect repellent, and was completely edible to anything that wasn't an insect, but was nearly impossible to fund on a large scale because of how expensive the process to extract the substance and do whatever was necessary to perfect it to do it's intended purpose.

Sadly these tests have only been done on animals so far, and I believe they are now working on testing the aspects of the human body that could affect how the compound reacts, but it should, in theory, be almost exactly the same with the group of animals they've tested on so far.

This compound's effects are rather miraculous. It works within an extremely short time in comparison to the modern day solutions/fixes to cancer, and has such a high success rate. The only downside that I could see to this drug is the fact that it isn't able to be applied to any tumor in the body, and is restricted to a tumor accessible by direct injection, and aren't part of a metastatic chain.
