UNETHICAL - ignoring pathogens on purpose
Bacterial and Viral causes of illness are an area of medical research and treatment that is not getting enough attention. Instead, they accept that bacteria and viri are involved in diseases, and spend billions finding ways to relieve the symptoms with pills, and to find ways to save the patients life [for 5 years] if it becomes cancer.
Much suffering and disability would be avoidable except for the fact that patients are being undertreated at the onset of the bacterial or viral involvment. It seems so very obvious to me that reducing the pathogens[bacteria, viri,and chemical toxins that create a "path" to disease] involved in our most serious ilnesses and disabilities would be the most effective and least expensive option for health care.
Its not the virus itself that causes cancer, so medical research would get the best 'bang for its buck' by looking into how viri and bacteria lead to cancer.
The role of virus in Cervical Cancer, for eg., is explained this way by the medical side:
Human Pampaloma virus involved with Cervical Cancer because it causes the events that lead to cancer.
Cervical Cancer - "women with more sex partners get it more often" ... {K - due to spread of viruses! and not from the physical "poundings of the vagina", as it were]
And dental infections of course [fibromyalgia, arthirits].
And syphilus causes mental problems, there must be other bacteria and viri that do that too.
And on and on - its likely MOSTLY bacterial and viral. But the only tool they use is anti-biotics despite the vast array of non-patentables that are anti-bacterial too. [non-patentables do no have the profits margins that patentable meds do, and thats why they are both unused and opoenly despised by the medical/phamraceutical side]
