Q: Pharmaceutical Companies Holding Back?
Submitted By: Raptor235, 42 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes ago
Does anyone else but me think that pharmaceuticals are holding back with cures for anything?
If you think about how much money is dumped into Cancer / Aids research each year why haven't they come up with anything yet?
If you think how much a billion dollars is and how many salaries it could pay for a year I think any country within a year could find a cure... that's why I think with any cures for any health problems there are some being held back.
They get money from the goverment / charities and then they also charge incredible amounts of money for the drugs ( saying they have to pay for the R&D) I don't know but to me that's really sketchy.

Cures only happen if....
Submitted By: I wish I knew ( 40 days, 21 hours, 37 minutes ago )
Cures only happen when the root cause is eliminated. Pharmacueticals don't solve the root cause in any case I'm aware. It generally entails lifestyle and diet changes, but that doesn't make them huge returns so they generally don't even look there except to patent a synthetic by-product. Rarely are pharmacueticals useful, usually as a temporary measure as your body fixes itself. Sometimes when the body is self destructive. Most are prescribed to placate people, and that's how doctors are educated to treat them, hippocatic (do no harm) oath be damned... Just read the side effects and you'll quickly see how doctors today don't really live up to oath they took to become a doctor. Doctors are brilliant people very often, but they're not reaching their potential to help yet. The last 10 years or so things have improved quite a lot though.
