If You Can’t Make Money Doing It, It’s Not Worth Doing

Published by heathermark at 2:31 am under Health Edit This

What is wrong with the world we live in? We have perfectly useless inventions like bacon flavored dental floss and toast stamps but we can’t come up with a cure for cancer.

Investors Business Daily just reported yesterday that Noscapine, a common ingredient in cough syrup, dramatically reduces tumors in cases of prostate cancer. Noscapine is a nonaddictive derivative of opium, and when used to treat lab rats with cancer, it reduced tumor growth by 60% and slowed the spread of tumors by 65%. And it has ZERO side effects.

With such a miraculous substance on drugstore shelves, why isn’t it being used to treat cancer?

Because Noscapine is a naturally occurring substance that CAN’T BE PATENTED. Because drug makers can’t make money from it, they aren’t mass producing it.

WE HAVE A NEAR CURE FOR PROSTATE CANCER BUT WE CAN’T HAVE IT.

All because of money. What a pile of crap.
