Releasing the Cure is up to the Pharmaceutical Industry

[Swirl]

Ok, So I'm reading twitter and up pops the fact that Canadian Researchers found a Cure for Cancer May 14th news.
But the news media are silent.

This just has my mind going now for the fact the cure for IBD can already be out there. If it was, its not like we will see it anytime soon because they say not much is known about IBD.

How the hell they don't even know how Mesalamine works?
Maybe because if they said how it worked, It'll all be over.
I want to say so much but its no point. Its been said over and over.

I extremely hope if there's people that are doing this on purpose for others to suffer for their own greed, I hope they suffer so so so so much after death if there's a after life. No remorse. A trillion times over.
My new thing is, not to wait. I wont wait for anything anymore. Or at least try not to wait. That even means medical marijuana. I just had enough. Life is like turning on the TV and being told what to watch.
One day I'll be off all these drugs and be alive doing much better.
Sucks so badly.


Canadian Researchers Obtain A Simple Cure For Cancer, But Major Pharmaceutical Corporations Aren’t Interested

I would respectfully put forth that research is done by researchers, not pharmaceutical insiders (although I won't deny occasional influence). Researchers are scientists who believe that knowledge should be universal, available to all, and used for the benefit of all who might gain from the knowledge (okay, as an academic I'm biased, but these views are supported by the literature).

And if it's for money, I am very very confident that any cure would be valued at far more money -- not to mention tenured positions at big-name institutions -- for those who found the cure.

I really need to find out more about why the media doesn't do coverage. Well its not hard to figure out why but all this control is crazy. You can have all the researchers in the world but it needs to go through pharmaceutical, FDA and such. I don't understand how it gotten this way. If there's a product on the shelve, there should also be chances for competitors. How the hell a hospital can charge you the highest amount that they can for spending time with a doctor/ambulance ride?! $550 for a ambulance ride, $240 for the doctor visit even through its a few minutes in the room at the hospital! I got that bill so many times.
And why so many side effects with every drug...

Wow this thread actually made me sad. Most people who work in the pharmaceutical industry actually do so to help people. If it wasn't for them then there'd be no drugs to help you at all and most of us would probably be dead by now.

Yes, medications do cost a lot of money, but it takes a LOT of years and a LOT of money to develop these drugs in the first place.

And yes, cheaper drugs do come out when competitors are allowed to produce generics. There's a certain time period when the company that produced the drug in the first place is the only one allowed to manufactor the drug. If they didn't then they'd lose all the money they put into researching and developing the drug in the first place and they'd go bust. Which would mean no one else would put money into developing anything new.

The body is a very complex thing and nothing in the world is perfect. Yes, there's a lot of money in the industry to be made but at the end of the day, it's a business. Not a charity.

Sorry this thread got you upset. This doesn't bug me anymore. The only thing I can do is get on with my life and hope everything gets better.
It just feels awful sometimes feeling like you have a heavy backpack on at all times for no reason. Maybe if everything does happen for a reason, its just not the time now. Just got to look at things positive i guess.

I agree, it's so frustrating to know that there MIGHT be a cure out there, and they refuse to give it to us for so many reasons.
My grandma died from breast cancer in 2006. She was originally diagnosed in 2000. She went into remission about a year after she was diagnosed, but relapsed in 2005. She lost over 100 pounds, and couldn't even get out of bed. She had to get a wheelchair, she lost her hair and she was living on ensure.
Half way through 2005, her doctor gave her an experimental drug. It cost $9000 and it hadn't been fully approved yet. She got better almost instantly. She gained a bunch of weight, she could walk again, her hair grew back and she had ample amounts of energy. We thought she was "cured."
Apparently the drug was a single dose of radioactive green liquid, administered through a syringe. About 5 months later, she started getting really sick again, and since the drug wasn't covered by insurance (being experimental) she couldn't afford it again. She died about 6 months later. I honestly think if she continued getting this medication, she could have made a full recovery and she would still be here today.
Just something to think about. There could very well be a cure for cancer out there. But they're making so much money off chemo and radiation, not to mention anti-emetics, pain killers, ect..
It's also about population control. The world is getting so over-populated that if people stopped dying from cancer, our natural resources could run out and that would be the end for everyone.
Maybe I'm wrong though. I don't know/care much about this kind of stuff. **** happens. It sucks, but at this point, there's not much we can do about it.

Yep I'm with you on this issue. I hope there's a better afterlife.
