I don't want to bash the idea of people banding together to try to "defeat" a disease
But something about these seems a little ludicrous
Obviously walking miles and miles doesn't affect a disease
What it does is raise money for "researchers"
They've been researching cancer for decades with plenty of funding
so to me these walks --- as well intentioned as they are---
are more like holding little bake sales for the pharmeceuticals
who, last time I checked, are not running out of money
or benefiting anyone besides their shareholders and themselves.....
All this focus on "awareness" of "disease" seems kind of sick as well
Great cultures in the past celebrated their triumphs and victories
Many people in our culture would like to celebrate disease
Kind of a bummer no?
Part of the general trend towards victimization I think.....

Imagine my best. I am composed. I'll put my skills against anybody when it is time.
I like to take them all on at one time for practice.
I then hone in the best of the best of Woodman.
Keep to the style that suits you. I know what works for me.
This is my brain. Not yours.
too bad it got woodman all emotional and spewing outrage one hundred miles an hour. he finished one rant but then decided it wasn't enough so he tacks on another one.
woodman. you crazy man! you crazy!
woodman, you have to relax a bit when you're trying to compose a quality rant. try to stick to one point or injustice per comment.
we are all one gene pool. Just because something doesn't pop up in this generations family or the next, doesn't mean something genetic won't show up in the next.
for this, we must end this extortionary process of worldwide pharmaceutical conspiracy.
For what? Some CEO bonus, while others walk miles for a cure that some CEO will profit from?
Or pink baseball bats... how about awareness of 400% markups?
I think all the money is there for cures to many drugs, but they don't want cures. Think of the expenditures for an unjust war. All that money could find the cures. But they would rather profiteer off a society, make them tax slaves, spend money beyond taxes for donating for the cure, keep them hopeful, and when someone is down, everyone else goes broke to save the person out of emotion. This is population control, not healthcare.
This is supply side economics.
I agree with what you are saying. I take medicine that costs me $1797 per month, yet I can buy it down in Mexico today for more than $1000 less per month. I used to have to take 2 shots per week. But now only 1. You would think in manufacturing that the costs of production and quality assurance would go down, but no. It went up, steadily year after year.
They take our tax payers dollars, give it to the pharamaceutical companies for R & D and then allow them to race for a patent for the first to come up with the drug that was funded with tax payers money and then they hold the patent and charge whatever they can.
Our healthcare system is evil when you look at it this way. 100 years from now they will look back and say how unethical this was in treating patients. Take from the tax payers and charge an arm and a leg for some encologist to mark up a cancer drug 400%. Or to hold a patent and charge whatever they can for those suffering a disease, only to get a return on the investors dollars.
What about Tax Payers that invest for the R & D?
The system is backwards and evil. In the words of Nixon "Less Healthcare, for more profit. I like that". 1972
We should be bashing the idea that fund raising efforts for the Cancer Industry are going to find a cure one day. They've squandered billions since Nixon first declared a war on cancer over 40 years ago and the only ones that have benefited are those with a vested interest. People have to wake up to the fact they are being used as pawns and that much of the cancer increase is due to the industry's own preventative treatments. (i.e. radiation).
Most women are surprised to hear that the no. 1 killer for them is heart disease and that lung cancer is far more prevalent than other forms of cancer, including breast. Fear is a great motivator and the Cancer Industry knows full well how to best instill that.
The "1 in 9" figure they claim for the odds of a women contracting the disease is a great deception and a half truth at best, as evidenced by this statement from a cancer specialist:
"Although the risk of breast cancer increases with age and the "1 in 9" figure applies to women who are 80 and over, it does not limit itself to elderly women. Unfortunately, as we know only too well, breast cancer can occur in women at any age."
Dr. Karen Gelmon, MD, FRCPC , Chair Breast Tumour Group, BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver, B.C.
Quite the revelation, isn't it? Using the agency's own figures and that of Stats Can, I calculated the odds of a women in the 20-40 age bracket of contracting the disease to be roughly 1 in 3500. A far cry from the near 10% chance the Cancer Industry normally infers that all women face. Also left out of this equation is the fact that a good percentage of these diagnoses will prove to be false positives (medical documentation indicates at the very least 5%) so the actual number of genuine cases could be far less.
A couple articles worth reading below plus I have a link on my page to a great website that exposes the industry for what it is. Let's put a stop to the "pink washing" of our society and the dangerous and invasive methods the Cancer/Pharmaceutical Industries utilize in a vain attempt to fight the disease.
