Default Cures For Diseases

I read an article somewhere that there has been a cure for cancer for over 50 years now, but they wont say there is because they would lose money. Every year for years now, they have been trying to find a cure for muscular distrophy. At the Jerry Lewis telethons, they raise millions of dollars each year, yet there is no cure. It would really be saddening if there was cures for these diseases and they would not share them with normal people.

I have heard those theories before and I do wonder a lot if there are cures for diseases. Cancer treatment does generate a lot of money. In some areas oncology nurses make over a 100 grand.

Why should they make a cure when it's a billion dollar industry. They don't give a **** about helping people. They just want more money.

I wonder about this a lot myself. The drug companies have so much control over politicians it makes you wonder sometimes. They make more money "treating" a disease than curing it so why wouldn't they hold back.

For years I've heard of all these advancements coming out of Toronto - supposedly we're "very close" to the cure for MS, Parkinson's, some cancers, etc. and then you hear nothing more.

I'll always be suspicious of them.

The cures are out there. They just are not letting the scientisits, or whoever it is discovering these things, release the info to the public. It makes me so anrgy to know that they are even trying to make our health even worse by putting flouride in out water supply and genetically modifing our fruits and vegtables to have little to no vitamins and minerals in them. So that we are more likely to get sick.

It all boils down to money and greed. The FDA and the pharmaceutical companies have no interest in finding cures for any common ailments or diseases because the money they make from treating them would be diminished. If a cure for the common cold was found, Most of the pharmaceutical companies would be out of business and the drug stores would have plenty of shelf space.

I believe scientists can cure a lot of diseases and disabilities. It's the greed of the drug companies and research centers that's holding them back. I won't give money to places that promote research any more for that reason. Like someone said in a previous post, they're rasising a lot of money for all kinds of research and where are the results?

I also believe that scientists could have created a cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient alternative to oil by now, but it's the politicians and oil companies who are holding them back.

I agree it's the same dam reason we don't have affordable electricity.
And why they won't make a car run on water they don't want us to have it!
If we all could afford solar cells on our roofs and they supplied 100% of our power needs the dam government would make us pay some sort of tax so high that it would be like paying a light bill again.
We can't win for looseing!

A possible solution could be that if we change our beliefs about this sort of thing then the circumstances will change. I believe in the teachings of Seth (a spirit channelled by Jane Roberts from 1963 until her death in 1984) that we create our own realities with our thoughts, beliefs and emotions.

So if we change our thoughts, beliefs and emotions to what we want, then we can create a reality without these problems.

I've been saying this for a few years already. I believe there are cures for cancer, AIDS, MS, the common cold, etc. I told my friend this and he said if there was a cure, it would be released. My mom said the same thing. Sadly, some people are so naive it's not even funny.
