Wish this wasnt the case, but it’s atleast a theory. There arent really alot of cures out there come to think about it.
Who is they? These researchers are not making money off of todays current treatments. They very much want to find a cure, get rich and become famous.
Edited for clarity.
So your saying the pharmaceutical agencies would make more one on a 1 time shot than a life time of medicine? I’m going to end it here, i don’t want this post to end up like the one on the home defense thread.[/quote]
You don’t understand at all. We have a thing called competition in this country. Company A may be making a fortune selling medicine and Company B would be more than happy to take that business away by selling a cure.
These researchers would love to get their names in the history books as the men who cured AIDS.
Yes it is. I have no problem using nutritional supplements to help reduce some of the symptoms and discomforts of AIDS, but to pretend it is more than a band-aid on a gunshot wound is wrong.
That report is beyond bad. It’s funny that a vitamin mogul is extolling the virtues of his vitamins in the treatment of pretty much every disease, whilst blasting big pharma.

It’s only moderately heritable. But I do agree that we’re trending towards idiocracy here in the USA.
Due to the type of society we live in today, we are actually smarter than back in the 1900.

You’re talking about the Flynn effect? I was more alluding to the fact that smart people in this society tend not to have kids, while those on welfare do.
and for human diseases that scientist have cured in the last 50 or so years?
Measles, chicken pox, polio, rheumatic fever; how many do you want?[/quote]
Um… at least one, since none of the ones you listed has a cure. Perhaps you confused it with vaccine? Which really doesn’t help anybody who has the disease already?

It’s just like local gass prices, if both the local gas station agree their gonna make more money if they set their money aproxomatly at the same price instead of competeting for the lowest price they’ll both make more money. Same with the pharmaceutical agencies. But i forgot, your one of the brainwashed ones arent you?
How so? Believing the Big Pharma myth that drugs can cure is even more inept and retarded. The whole pharmaceutical paradigm is flawed from its very inception and has shown itself for what it is- next to useless.

He appears to be a quack. [/quote]
If hes a quack, then hes no worse than your conventional MD (conventional medicine in general) who doesnt know jack shit when it comes to TRUE healing and effective cures.
Why are you so quick to blast on someone’s philosphies based on your own limited experiences and closed mindedness. Their is no cure for being stupid.
