No one poo-poos tree bark and bread mold - aspirin and penicillin. Or for that matter using inexpensive alcohol or steam heat to sterilize instruments. Or using pepper plants to make analgesics. The fact is that you are really clueless about medical research. Scientists would love to find the cheapest, simplest product to bring to market to cure or reduce the incidence of disease, or to ease pain.

NO.. NO.. NO!!! I'm NOT clueless.

Big Pharma, through the FDA, dictates what happens in the marketplace for the most part.

The millions poured into RESEARCH is based on GETTING it BACK 100 fold.

INEXPENSIVE remedies are shoved aside and into the background as "cult medicine cures." or "unproven."

I'm NOT disagreeing that medical research on "peppers" isn't worthwhile. I'm saying that no matter how successful the results may be the outcome is usually that if it CANNOT produce the multi-BILLIONS and MILLIONS in monetary return that Big Pharma demands and pursues it intentionally gets LOST in the shuffle.

Could it be that you're being a bit "naive" and it's you that is "clueless?"
