this is serious stuff...(11/12/02) — There's something spreading among the students in Pasadena's independent school district. Since the beginning of the school year, there have been about 50 cases of MRSA, a staph infection that is resistant to certain antibiotics and can be tough to treat http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/111202_local_infection.html ------------------ T/S

it is rather disturbing that powerful and profitable drug companies like say Pfizer for instance...have sat on their hands regarding this issue...and seem to be more concerned with erectile disfunction...than solving the largest growing problem in medical science...anti-biotic resistant bacteria but then again...is it more profitable for them to cure the problem...or just treat the symptom.... ------------------ T/S

Banting and Best, the discovers of Insulin in 1922, had an alternative cure for Diabetes, similar to the herbal blend called Essiac. Eli Lilly, the manufactures of Insulin at the time, shelved the alternative, and forbid Banting and Best to discuss this with the press. Lilly wanted no competition to insulin, which was patented. Essiac is not patented. The same aplies to Marinol and Cannabis. The natural version is not patentable, but Marinol is, though not effective at all. So, it all comes down to money and greed, whether it's Pfizer, Lilly, Wyeth, or Glaxo. Is this techically a conspiracy? Yes, after studying Diabetes for 45 years and seeing other companies shelve antural cures.
Hey Seeker, You said, "it is rather disturbing that powerful and profitable drug companies like say Pfizer for instance...have sat on their hands regarding this issue...and seem to be more concerned with erectile disfunction...than solving the largest growing problem in medical science..." I think what you mean is, erectile dysfunction is largest SHRINKING problem in medical science.

gas, I have mixed views on this, but clearly it is in the best interest of companies like pfizer to keep folks returning for meds rather than to cure the sickness or the disease...and that's a problem...as we see antibiotics becomming less effective,some not at all...you have to wonder when the oath will come into play...mainly, if the folks start passing on...the gravy train will stop...time for some to see the error of their ways...and all that...and yes I feel the big drug co's are profiteering...and conspiracy is all but proven... ------------------ T/S
