India....shudder! I would trust my worst enemy to their health care.
Don't look now, but many of the generic drugs major pharmacy plans supply are made in India.
I order a lot of my stuff from Canada and have found they actually arrive from India!!!
A lot of our medicines are made there now. Scares me too. I now have 18 Rxs and 6 OTCs that I take each day...
Yup. That is the case for me too.
India wants to make medical tourism a $9 billion industry by 2020
Oh yeah, the country that invented standardized parts, mass production, and the assembly line just cannot figure it out.
FOD India.
It's not a question of "figuring out". It's a question of cost. Same reason most consumer items come from China.
...and not from the country that invented mass production and the assembly line.
India is exporting lots of medical services — this is just an example. If the therapy costs a million dollars less in India than it does in the USA, then a lot of people could benefit.
You just have to watch out for side effects as the immune system is going apesh*t killing the cancer.
sposedly there’s a much much cheaper and more effective ‘cure’ on the way for many types of cancer- Some ‘accidental discovery’ that was in the news a few weeks or so ago-
“ It’s not a question of “figuring out”. It’s a question of cost. Same reason most consumer items come from China.”
China is nothing but a slave economy run by reptiles that our own “American” set of reptiles wishes to emulate.
Trees and rope is all we need herein the States.
Lol. That's vague enough--"many"--no name, no dates, no laboratories and "generic drugs pharmacy plans" which says nothing at all.
That reminds me of the old song, SIXTEEN TONS: "I own my soul to the company store."
EIGHTEEN prescriptions PLUS SIXTEEN over the counter?
You must spend your entire day just taking medications. Wow. I am sorry that your health is so poor.
Only if the trip to India doesn't kill you.
Google
A type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. ...
CAR T-cell therapy is being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer. Also called chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
It all sounds VERY iffy, temporary and "maybe."
No. I know people who work on cancer and have seen clinical presentations by MSs on it. They take out certain immune cells, train them to look for the patient’s own cancer cells, then inject a truckload of them back into the patient.
Like giving a bloodhound an article of clothing to sniff...
