THERE IS NO MONEY IN THE CURE!

Why don't you keyboard warriors go grind it out in a cell biology lab for 5 years and then come back to me?

My keyboard is a weapon of peace, not war. Don't wait for me to come back to you: I'm not coming.

"Over-curative" is an interesting word. Is it like a free PhD? A guy I knew had his Hep C cured. Unfortunately it did nothing for his personality.

you're very antagonistic for someone who is here for peace. You seem to want everyone's head on a staff. Complicated diseases are difficult to cure. It takes a lot of people, a lot of resources, a lot of time, and tremendous sacrifices. You should show some respect for the people who are doing the dirty work. As you type, there is someone working in a lab, trying to look for a biomarker of MS in the serum. There is a neurologist working long hours, trying to do the best she can with existing treatments. There is a drug company administrator trying to arrange funding for a new clinical trial. These are people spending time away from their friends and families and hobbies.

There may be incompetence and perverse incentives in the field of health care, but there is no conspiracy. All of these people will get sick themselves or watch their family members become sick at some point. The incentive to succeed to too great.

As I said, the established medical system successfully treats and cures many disease. I gave several examples in my post on page 1. It is just harder than it looks, particularly for complicated chronic disease.

with love and respect,

Unfortunately I don't have any respect for those who take time away from their friends and families and hobbies to tell me what I should or should not do or say. i'm not trying to show disrespect. I'm just very bad at hiding it, I guess. The poor horse has been pronounced.

peace out.
