Do you think there are cures for most diseases??

[badgirl]

I was "made fun" of my Stumppy and Lil' Stumppy last night when I said I beleived there are cures out there for most if not all "uncurable" diseases.

I told them the govt. and pharmacies doesn't want to cure fatal diseases. I heard and I don't remember where, a few years back of a Japaniese scientist who found a cure for cancer, then BOOM don't hear from him again, no news on it or anything.

IMO the govt and pharmacies and Dr.s are all legal drug dealers. They would lose too much money to create a cure for say AIDS or Cancer or ALS, or MS or any other terminal disease out there. Sure they stretch out your lifespan with drugs or machines, but thats a way to collect that much longer.

All this is my opinion. What are your view points on the subject?
This may be moved to the Washington D.C. forum, I don't know.

I have no idea but I totally believe drug companies bury cures to keep the public paying forever. When was the last time anything was cured? There was a small pharmaceutical company that made a mutant form of cholesterol that acted like drano in your veins. Pfizer bought them and burried the technology years ago. Can't have anything interfering with those lipitor sales irregardless of how many people die.

Here is something on it. It was like HUGE news and now you can't find a damn thing on it anymore Pfizer made it like it never existed. Even this had to be cached through google.

Superhero HDLs
by Alisa Bauman

A synthetic form of "superhero" HDL cholesterol--dubbed "liquid Drano" by astonished experts--sucks heart-threatening cholesterol out of plaque and whisks it to the liver for disposal. Modeled after a mutant form of HDL discovered in a northern Italian family, the experimental drug shrunk plaque by 4.2 percent in just 5 weeks.

This extraordinarily efficient glob of fat and protein was spotted in the 1970s, after Italian researchers found a family who had healthy hearts despite ultra-low levels of "good" HDLs. "The idea that we could remove a significant amount of plaque in just five doses was astounding," says study author Steven Nissen, MD, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. A larger study is planned, and a super-HDL drug could be on the market by 2008.

There we go. Esperion that's the company. I was all over this back then. Haven't heard a damn thing since the acquisition. You notice Pfizers only intent is use it after a massive coronary. Why would they cure people when they are making billions on Lipitor sales every year?

This stuff happens all the time. Hook up with anybody involved in the naturopathic sciences and they can tell you story after story of natual cures that the FDA and medical industry will straight up lie about in order to make people have to get their drugs from the major pharmaceutical companies. If they will go to that limit what makes people think if they already have John Q Public on the nipple they would ever announce a cure if they found it?

[jidar]

Ridiculous.

There is plenty of disease to go around and most diseases have multiple treatments from different companies. If one company cured something they would make a ton selling the cure.

This is tinfoil hat thinking to the umpth degree.

I probably said this the first time around:


Clearly there is no cure for Down Syndrome.

I consider Down syndrome a birth defect, not a disease.
