Why We Fail to Cure?
Ask yourself, do you know anyone with a chronic disease?
When was a “cure” last developed?
If you can’t remember, it’s ok, most of us weren't around in
1928. Once upon a time, in the year 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the
potential of Penicillin and its ability to treat and cure bacterial infections.
Since then, pathologies are being managed. Take Malaria for example, it killed
660,000 in 2010. Diabetes, Cancer, AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis and ALS, just to
name a few, kills progressively today and every day.
Our strategy of management has cost societies by draining
resources away from nutrition, education and social amenities. The cost of
Diabetes is in excess of $500 billion for the United States. This expense will
reach one trillion by 2020. The cost to manage chronic diseases, in the US and
elsewhere, is not sustainable.
If you are like me, you know the costs are not monetary only.
Management alone compromises the quality of life for the sick and their families.
Burdening them psychologically, physically and monetarily.
There is no singularity in explaining social failures to
cure. But there are certainly factors worth considering.
·
Nationally, scientists spend over 40% of their
time applying for funding rather than conducting research. This funding process
is trivial and politically charged.
·
The sequestration of the 2011 Budget Act has
eliminated over a billion dollars for scientific research.
·
The majority of Non-Profits are inefficient in
appropriating research funding. A simple web search would identify CEOs of Non
Profits with salaries from the hundreds of thousands to millions.
·
In the United Sates, it costs $750 million to
$1.5 billion to bring a drug to market.
·
Information bottlenecks/protectionism plagues
science. In a world of Facebook and Twitter, researchers continue to operate in
isolation. Unlike the rest of us, researchers do not tweet or “Like” one another’s
work. Annual conferences and monthly or quarterly journals continue to serve as
information conduits.
The global healthcare establishment has failed its true
stakeholders, the patients, family and researchers who have dedicated their
lives to heal.
I totally agree with what you have said in your blog article. I strongly believe that we should take our health into our own hands. Like what you did in your "I Beat Diabetics" article. I think that the global healthcare establishment should go back to the drawing board. Look at some of the side effects that most of the legal drugs have? Most times the side effects are worst than the actual illnesses.
ReplyDeleteDear Tania, in a few days we will be outlining a new platform that we hope will better fund and appropriately fund researchers around the WORLD. We hope to make research possible for many more and also expedite the rate of discovery. I hope you can share our vision with those around you.
ReplyDeleteOne way to prevent episodes of herpes is to eat foods as close as possible to nature. Eat food products containing natural ingredients, food coloring and preservatives. Stay hydrated, now to buy it your body to not be exhausted. Exercises performed a few times a week. There are special diets against epidemics. Other methods of healing herpes include healing the merdicine, the body is nature, she also needs the natural merdicine for a quick cure. I was a patient for 2 years and Dr. Akhigbe healed me with her herbal medicines and helped me understand their effectiveness. Saw many of his testimonials on the internet while looking for a cure for me and I contacted him through his email address drrealakhigbe@gmail.com and I got the drug through services express delivery. Fortunately, I made everything perfect, because he commented on it drink just for three weeks "the akhigbe doctor knows all the root of herbal medicine for all diseases as long as he was godfather of the herbalism" he heals diseases such as herpes, hiv / aids, diabetes, cancer, haptics a and b, etc.
