You know, in some respects, that is right...

But think about this...

50 years ago and earlier, we were finding “cures” for ailments...Once cured, you didn’t have any more problems with the illnesses...

Today, we are finding “treatments”...These treatments are ongoing and what you paid one time for a “cure” back then is now continuous payments for “treatments...

The pharmaceutical companies have figured out that one-time “cures” aren’t as lucrative as continuous “treatments”...

Just my opinion...

“Today, we are finding “treatments”...”

yep. That’s been my war cry against medicine. Treatment of cancer is a multi-billion dollar business. The cure would result in much lower revenues. Medicine is a churning, repeat business industry. We no longer desire to cure anything.

I’m with you. Big Pharma has run out of new cures so they are forced to come up with semi cures that have horrible side effects but might do some good. Frankly I’d rather just have the disease based on most of the ads.

I have osteoarthritis. It runs in the family and we all get it starting pretty early. I’m not even planning on taking Celebrex if I can help it. Most of the time I just ignore it and I started taking turmeric about 6 mos ago. Its unbelievably effective. I have half the pain I used to. Mr. GG2 orders the organic turmeric online and we put it in the capsules ourselves. Take two capsules a day and you see a difference in a few days. No side effects.
