This is something i've considered for quite some time and is about as close as i'll get to believing in a real conspiracy against the public. I wanted to share this with you and start a conversation about it, since i know this is an idea that is shared by many.
Recently i was watching Chris Rock and he was talking about this, which is why this theory has been pushed to the surface.


The theory is that companies do not want you to get better, to be cured of illness etc. They want you to have to keep coming back and paying more money.

Acne treatment, we'll start with that. Why is it that with all this technology, we cannot do something as blatantly easy as removing pimples for good? We are forced to buy acne treatments at high prices that do nothing more, it would seem, than any other short-term clenser. Infact, could it be that acne medications seek to cause pimples and keep them coming back, rather than remove them? The company gets more of your money that way.

Are items we buy made intentionally to break so that we have to buy a new one within a few months? Take my old cellphone, the Motorola C33 or something. Upon purchase it was perfect. Excellent battery, charge it for a few hours and have 24 hours with of battery. Within only a few months i found i had to have it charged constantly to get even an hours use out of it, and within half a year it was impossible to charge at all, i could never get more than 5 minutes out of it. And i was not alone, for it was a popular phone and everyone else who had one complained of the same problem. What was the solutuon we were given by Motorola reps? Buy a new one, they'll give us a coupon of 5$ off or something.


Has cancer been cured, but the cure withheld because there is more money in the treatment?

Discuss.

I knew you were gona mention Chris Rock when I saw the title.

You are right though. The example I will bring up is ADD, ADHD and whatever other names it might cary. Simply because there are so many kids out there nowdays that are on drugs for it, just because their parents dont want to deal with them. Kids have mad evergy to burn, what are they suposed to do? Especialy if you live in the city where everying is so cramped and kids have no place to run around and play.
I have also heard that TV might be the cause of it, wich is something that cant be completely ignored because TV is the babysiter for so many kids today. (Dont get me started how retarded kids tv shows are in this country) Then you get all those 'ADHD alerts' on CNN and other tv networks, that are pretty much promoting the drugs.

Well to cut this short, although many will start arguing this, I'll say that ADD is not a sickness at all. It is caused by lack of parenting as well as other factors. The 'media', that includes doctors.. etc..., promote it as a huge problem and therefore the drugs get sold, and the kids walk around on drugs their whole life instead of geting real help. Because lets face it, the drugs help not the kids, but the parents who dont pay attention to them.

A big reason I dont believe in ADD is because I have problems concentration, short attention span and so forth. Even my mom bugged me to take some test about it once or twice. But i completely ignore it and will myself, and the problem is gone. I also have friends, who the doctors told that their kids wont do good in school, etc etc unless they put them on some type of drug. Yet without any drugs, and real parenting their kids got straight A's through school.(I wont go into how retarded education system is in here either)

As far as canser and other sicknesses go... Yes they all can be cured. I'm sure that the technology is available to do that. I have no proof or great arguments to back that statement up, but it isnt that unknown of people wo managed to 'heal' or 'cure' themselves purely out of will. Sometimes you will see this as one of the articles at UM homepage if you actualy look.

http://www.immunics.org/

Read this site. People are takind controll of their immune systems and healing from colds and athlete's foot to canser and other deadly viruses. Dont just dissmiss this information. Thousands of people are alive thanks to this, look through hundreds of cases that are shown there and in the many links provided.

I definatly agree with you on this one. There has to be a cure for everything. And we have passed the point you would believe in which that technology has come out.
I would think the medicine, as well as the donations that come in for research, would be well enough for companies to not come out with a "cure".. I wouldnt doubt if more money came in from the research going into the virus/disease, then from the medicine they give you to "slow down" the effect.

He brings up some good points!!




Good example, slightly different from what i was thinking though. Then again that may simply be because our opinions on it differ. I don't consider ADD or ADHD a kind of illness at all, as you said. It's caused by kids lazing infront of the tube all day and not wearing themselves out as they used too.
Lock a hyper dog in a crate for a day, when it gets out, is it not all hyper and jumpy?



Yeah that's my opinion too. Ironic, isn't it? Kind of like having a warning on the inside of a bottle of beer saying it may cause dizziness.



So in this instance, the money is indeed in the treatment of ADD and not in the cure, but not because there is a cure that is being withheld. There simply is no cure, because the problem is with kids not getting enough excercise and this is being promoted as a mental illness.
Is your kid hyper for some reason that you can't understand? Fear not! It's not because he's not excercising, it's because he has a problem in his head! Don't worry, pay us a weekly lump sum, and we'll give him temporary traq pills to calm him down!!



Sort attention spans in my opinion are caused again by TV. These programs children watch at an early age with flashy colours and the like, it can't have a good effect.
Hey, maybe it's all one massive conspiracy. Give them problems concentrating at a young age, make you pay for the treatment when they get older. Bingo!



I don't know that they can ALL be cured, but come on, how is it possible really that so many billions of dollars are spent yearly on all these virsues and whatnot, and there's still no real instant cure for something like the common cold? That blows me away. It doesn't make sense and the only answer i can come up with is, of course, that the money is in the long-term treatment of the sickness, and not the immediate cure.
It's disgusting really to think this way. Hell maybe these drugs are actually making the sickness come BACk after a few months to make you pay again.
And do flu shots really make you immune to the flu? Hrmmm.



Good site, good read. Cheers. And thanks for your input to the topic.



While technology is advancing at a massive rate, don't get me wrong. I don't believe that EVERY virus has been cured etc, but i'm pretty sure there should be at least far more effective treatments than what we are dishing out the big bucks currently for.




Good thinking. The grants themselves, how much of that is REALLY going to the actual research itself, and how much of it is going to larger paychecks etc?

Your right on the money with this one Burnside. Just think about how much money just one diseased brings in to a large drug company. I really think the cure for cancer has been around for over 50 years they just dont want to let it out becuase of all the money they will lose. Have you noticed that more and more people continue to get all kinds of different cancers. i know you heard of Rife before with his alternate cancer cure I dont know if i believe it 100% but the technology does make alot of sense. I thought everything had a reasonate frequency if thats the case we should be able to destroy just the cancer cells in a body without causing any harm to the individual.

That reminds me.

Try researching Radionics. I believe it was invented by Dr Albert Adams, who thought of using energy waves to cure sicknesses. First he thought they were radio waves, thus the name, but they turned up to be something else... not sure the details. But it showed to be very effective. Also over distances, like over telephone lines. The theory was based on the idea of ether, and can be compared to Tesla's work(in it's genious, of course). But because it was not understood, it is illegal in USA. Most likely because it was so effective.

It's realy too much to go into, and i havent done any follow up reading on it...

http://www.radionic.co.uk/Franks%20A4.1.htm this is a very extensive site on it, if you like reading..... Nevertheless there are plenty of other sites with information on the subject.

another site i found, in my 2 mins of research

Now if you can heal from distance, couldn't you also harm people the same way? How hard would it be to send a 'signal' through your TV that causes some form of enxiety? or causes colds? Just a thought

This brings me to another point. The whole way of how western madicine is based to give you a quick fix and let you on your way.. AND they want an arm and a leg for it. You can do that with natural medicine, like eating some garlic, or just plain simple.. STOP going to McDonalds! Eat right! (not like im one to talk ) But still there are plenty of natural ways to cure yourself naturaly.

Right you are.. I remember reading a quote from a drug company executive, stating that they are researching for a way of managing cancer. Not looking for a way to cure it. Can't remember the exact quote, but it was to that effect. If they can manage it, they can keep you alive and keep getting money. With the ridiculous cost of healthcare nowadays, it doesn't surprise me. There are curse out there, you just have to look for them, and quit trusting the medical industry.
