I don’t think the medical industry is really interested in curing cancer. Treating it, maybe, but if they find an actual cure, they won’t make as much money.

I hate few things in life, but #bigPharma for profit is my biggest trauma. Nearly 40 years of hell, and in the end pushed nearly to death because it was a first year FDA study. They wanted stats. It cost 90,000 USD and that was only one of the meds, which is now causing blindness

Much more work needs to be done in botany - nature is the place we normally have found medicine, we amplify it and patent it in labs. Cannabis RSO and CBD are both known to slow certain tumor growths as well as provide pain relief without the hospital euthanasia known as opiates.

I’m so sorry for everything that you’ve been through. I can relate to knowing a lot of people that cancer has negatively affected though. I’m not a fan of #bigPharma either.
