Jac... over the past 30 years, maybe more, billions of dollars have
been poured into the research for cancer. Still rages on.
I wondered if the mega industrial medical complex works harder
on finding life saving treatments over finding the cure.
If an absolute cure for cancer was to be discovered... it would
bankrupt the cancer medical treatment centers across the country.
Oncology would take a huge financial hit.
Say some research center found the absolute cure... I wonder
what they would do with it or be let to do with it.
They cured Polio and the expensive iron lung machines and
treatment became a thing of the past... quickly. -$$$
ALS is a rare disease (maybe not so rare as it once was) but I
have a close concern with Alzheimers which is no longer
considered a rare disease. I believe the break through for
ALS will come from the huge amount of money being spent
on Alzheimers over ALS. Just recently they have announced
a blood test that can determine Alzheimers for example.
In the brain they are learning there is an interesting relationship
between ALS and Alzheimers.
Again, cure or a quality of life saving treatment? The later
would continue the money flow to the industrial medical
complex.
Just my thoughts...
Edit: Mods, after some thought about this reply maybe best
to move it to Rants and Raves being Jac pretty much signed
off for now.
