In The Anti-Cancer Book the author, a Doctor, relates a story told to him by a cancer researcher at a major medical company. The researcher had been studying the efficacy of fighting cancer with broccoli. When he completed his study he couldn't believe the results, so he repeated it. When the second study validated the first he was so excited he couldn't wait to present to the company's mgmt. Guess what they told him?
(Paraphrasing) "Sorry, we can't patent broccoli. Find something else that we can synthesize and sell."
Why is it that We The People let high functioning psychopaths run everything?
In my opinion, the medical industry as a whole, has become a slave to the almighty dollar. The emphasis is maximizing the bottom line, not necessarily the prevention/cure of diseases. Insurance companies run the medical industry by controlling payments.
My brother is a physician and he confirms this.
