Dr. Richard J. Roberts, Nobel Prize in Medicine 1993 tells a truth many don't want to hear. I dedicate this to those who like to rely a bit too much on prescription drugs, "peer reviewed studies", etc., read and learn (and maybe weep too 'cause you'd been conned):
One man's opinion....the opinion of a man who's bread is buttered by one of these same firms he denigrates....no agenda there I am sure
No one who reads this purported interview that has half a brain will be "weeping". Those of us without tinfoil hats seeing conspiracy theories behind every corner aren't really concerned that "Big Bad Pharma" is artificially "chronifying" (Dr Robert's term) disease to make a profit rather than cure....yeah right....
I am sure Dr. Robert's firm would NEVER do such a thing.....only those OTHER firms....
No worries though....the supplement and vitamin makers will save the day!!!
One man's opinion?! What about Gwen Olsen, an ex-pharmaceutical rep that has spoken nation-wide about this??? And there are many others whose names I can't remember now.
It would appear to me you are the one with a HUGE tinfoil hat on your head seeing a conspiracy on the part of those who simply advocate more NATURAL treatments and want actual CURES for diseases -which makes way more sense than pumping toxic drugs into our bodies - that traditional medicine is not providing. And how you compare their research to what's really happening is beyond me. What that company is doing would seem to less prejudiced readers like seeking cures, making a real difference unlike the habit of putting a "patch" on people's illnesses so they stay "hooked" for life.
But whatever, there's no worse blind than those who don't want to see, and in your case I've got to wonder if you're one of those who actually lobby for Big Pharma, so I'd say too "one man's opinion" and an unimportant one at that because I don't suppose you can claim you're a Nobel Prize Winner...
Here's another one for you, of course, I suppose you're going to try to find something negative to say about him or anybody who dares speak against "Big Pharma", but anyone with a forehead wider than 2" knows that's an old dirty tactic of the guilty to discredit their oponnents...
Dr. Roberts is not a physician, so perhaps his opinion should be evaluated with that in mind.
The question is how do we want to pay for new drug research. Would you be willing to pay a tax, deducted from your paycheck, to support it? If you ran any business, would you want to invest in developing a product that would not make any money?
Encouraging antibiotic research will mean looking at incentives to make companies want to do it.
On a larger scale, some conditions never will be curable. Medications for them can, however, improve quality of life --- and lengthen it. Turning a lethal condition into a chronic one is no small accomplishment. Ask many people who have lived with HIV for decades now.
All the curable "drugs" are in the farm-acy (nature), not in deathcare (pharmacy).
Cute, but not really true, is it?
I have a son who has celebrated his twentieth anniversary of finishing chemotherapy for childhood leukemia. he's not here today because he munched on bits and pieces of herbs. He's here because dedicated researchers of the pharmaceutical industry and knowledgeable doctors came up with therapy that worked.
Many curative drugs have their "roots" in nature, but the substances that work are in the pharmacy, including penicillin, which still works for many infections.
I also know people who have been cured from cancer "chewing herbs" like you say, but does anyone want to listen??? Nope, because the poor statistics of success for chemo and radiation "must be protected" above all else. To me they equal to trying to eliminate a pest problem with a bomb, and IMO those who survive are actually the lucky ones, the rest, like my mother, end up dying due to the aftermath of such devastating treatments.
And before you say anything, let me clarify that I'm NOT totally against "modern" medicine, it does have it good things, but just not enough to put all my faith in it now that I know BETTER, what I'd like to see is INTEGRATIVE medicine like in other parts of the world. For example, one of my sisters who lived in France told me that doctors there will prescribe herbs and other natural therapies regularly and things like Lugol's solution of iodine can be obtained at a pharmacy whereas here they are restricted with the "excuse" that iodine can be used for making street drugs.

Anedcotal at best. Suspect is a huge understatement.
I'm calling BS on a cancer cure by "chewing herbs."

We should ask him how that's working out. Oh wait, we can't.
