Hadn’t thought of it that way, but you have hit a nerve… reasonably effective treatments for medical conditions represent a predictable income stream.

A cure for depression, for example, might make Big Pharma even richer for a few years, and then… they’d have to invest in a cure for something else. How depressing for them!

Better for cash flow, as you suggest, to suppress or at least control the symptoms, but maintain the chains of chronic treatment.

Thanks, again Michelle, you made me think today (never a given!), and I appreciate the notice!

When was the last time scientists found a cure for anything? Polio? With all the medical technology and DNA research we have and all they can up with is “treatments,” not cures. That’s because corporations don’t make money from cures.
