Amen! What I have been saying all along. Research is usually funded by money making pharmaceutical companies (a huge lobby in the US). To find cures is to shoot themselves in the foot.

In a health care system that is profit based it does not behoove any company or practioner to make anyone well.

Think I read somewhere a few years back that petrochemicals ( it is in everything) is the highest grossing industry and health research and care (including insurance) the second. So they sell us poisonous products on the one hand and treatments on the other.

This thread could make me go mad. My daughter died because she was eeking out her meds in order to make them last and she didn't go to hospital when she knew she should, because she couldn't pay for her last few stays.

It wasn't cancer but a life threatening and money sponging illness.

Fuck! That is my afternoon scuppered. Scuse me while I go grieve and wail a bit.
