Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

FYI I have a cure for cancer that works 100%. I sell my elixir for only $10,000 a bottle. This contains enough to treat any cancer for an adult. A friend tried it and the results are amazing, he even started running Marathons and entered an Ironman competition three weeks after the first dose (three doses will cure all cancer). Previously he was bed ridden for three years. Even his wife noticed a difference!!!

Given the age of the population here, there are undoubtedly members and readers of this forum that are waging their very personal battles with cancer, and most certainly have family members or other loved ones they are close to that may be at various stages of cancer related illnesses, including nearing death.

It may be wise and compassionate to show sympathy and empathy.

I just watched my sister go through this. Her husband who had never smoked a day in his life was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. Refusing to accept the diagnosis from several doctors who told her all they could do for him was manage the pain, she took him to a cancer treatment facility in Mexico. The promise of a miracle cure was just too irresistible. After a month of coffee enemas and prayer they were told he was in remission and released. 

During that time I had spoke out against her decision on numerous occasions and my family was quite upset by my lack of empathy and compassion. Well a week after they returned to the states he was gone, along with $40,000 of their savings. Interestingly, so far not one friend or relative that encouraged them to take that gamble has offered to help repay the cost. Being pragmatic has nothing to do with empathy, sympathy or compassion.

@chrshanl37 You miss my point, while making it.

Sorry to hear of your sister's and family's loss.

Thanks david_ten...but perhaps maybe you could explain your point then. I don’t see how shadorne’s statement showed a lack of empathy or sympathy. 

Hair-loss prevention elixir is better analogy.
