What types of things do you suppose are around us, that perhaps have long been under our noses for some time that would "heal" the population of these horrible diseases...what have we not tried or tested..that could be smack in front of us...??
Seriously, give this some thought, then make a serious choice or guess at what plants,animals, or other materials we should endeavor to test and or look at more scientifically....for human/animal cures...to so many diseases.......

There are many, but we will never cure any diseases. There's just no money in it. Look at the last disease we cured: Polio.
It's too tempting to make diseases 'manageable', by taking many prescription drugs. That way, you live as long, but Merck makes its money.

I believe that there will be cures, but honestly drug companies do not want true cures because then if there is no disease there is no more money to be made. Look in every magazine and the numerous drug commercials there are. The pay billions a year for marketing. There is plenty of natural cures out there. drug companies do not use them because things naturally from the earth can not be patented, unless it is altered. (something like that) Our body is naturally made to fight off viruses, but with all the toxins and junk we put in us and in the envirnomnet, our immune system is shot. There are lots of natural cancer cures, but most importantly there are boat loads of natural PREVENTION. prevention or the root cause is not taught in western medicine. I work in the pharmacy and see all the politics and started reading all kinds of books because I gave up on medicine to cure my illnesses thatbegin in my early 20's

Cancer I don't think we'll ever be able to "cure" because it's something completely different but regarding AIDS, the answer is to prevent its spread. If the disease can't be transmitted then it will eventually cease to exist.

The biggest scourge in the US is clogged arteries. One half of all Americans die from clogged arteries! Heart, brain, kidneys, peripheral arteries. It is cholesterol that is clogging the arteries. The higher levels of cholesterol come from good food, lack of enough exercise, worsened by high blood pressure, diabetes, and other. Normal cholesterol in the US is around 200 +. Normal in poor countries is 75- 100mg. Two medicines are available to reduce cholesterol. They are capable of ridding the high cholesterol in people who cannot otherwise lower it. They are like magic!! If every ones cholesterol was like 130-140 or lower there may well be no more heart attacks, strokes, renal failure from high cholesterol. They are made by the big bad drug companies. The beauty of the situation is that YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THOSE MEDS!!!! If you want to be part of the (test), you can take them. One blocks the uptake of cholesterol from the intestines and the other blocks the formation of cholesterol in the liver. The early results appears to be amazing and most promising to decrease the cause of 50% of the deaths in the US. Like many health items, it may take a number of years to see all the ramifications of such treatment. Thank God for the drug companies and their research and development efforts. Btw, if it wasn't for making money from these drugs, who would be interested in working that hard to develope these meds.

that will never happen, in this lifetime all is a business and bussiness means constant revenue.
money is the prime motivation for most humans in the current century, this wont change for many centuries.
the common human beings, do not oversees the future , they can only consider there current existance of 80-100 years of life, most do not care about other human beings unless they exist within there blood lines.
this current overview of huan life is weak and no one relaly cares, infact look at most undevelop countries, they spend millions in wars, and to kill others of there own kind, instead of helping others to survive.

i think that we are ignorant of the effects of certain substances ,poisons if you will that are in our ground water, air, food . also few people really eat well and healthy. i truly believe the cause of most disease is bad diet and the free radicals that bombard us persistently. all that we need to maintain our health food water and air has been tainted. add to that the stress and hatred so present in our modern "civilized" world and all the serums and medicines with their near fatal side effects and we have disease. what did we expect?
