"An indiscriminant disease that attacks without discrimination"?? Talk about redundant.
What subject do you teach? :p English?

I wasn't joking. He'd said he was a teacher.. I will be going back to school soon to be an English teacher.

Now I feel bad too.

I'm sorry I derailed a serious thread.

instead of rasing money to give to ACS. why don't you raise money and get a class action going against the big drug companies forcing them to release all the cures they have found but wont release?

Tell ya why.....cos all the money in the world wont make these guys release what they've found. I've done a lot of research on this. Its particularly bad in this country (UK) cos we're tryin to use therapies the US are usin now but the govenment wont let us cos its too expensive. Same sort of story in the US.

Who do you think is resoponsible for lining the pockets of Mr Bush and Mr Blair?? The bloody pharmaceutical companies. Thats who. Together with these two 'puppets', they can control world sales of all pharmaceuticals.

Good quote bout the NHS: 'An expensive patient is one who is ill'.

Pisses me off bout alternative thaerapies as well. My mum only just died of cancer (thats why I recently went mental on here when someone said somethin like.....'your mom this.....etc etc') and we wanted to send her out to Mexico to receive this therapy that has a very good success rate. After months of the GPs convincing her not to go....we found it was too late.

The bastards wont give us a chance. You cant fight that in this day and age.

i know what ya mean. there is this doctor in western australia. who has something like a 90% success rate with curing people with cancer. and i mean people whos doctors have told them there is no hope . but because he doesn't use the expensive way to cure these people. he is called a quack, dangerous, a profiter(sp). the thing is when shown the proff of just how many people he has actually saved they have no answer. and as far as he just being some money grabbing quack, he actually charges something like $3,000 for the treament. with no money needed up front from those who can't afford it. the only thing holding him back from curing more people is the fact is that there are just too many people going to him . luckly there are a few younger doctors learning from him. he teaches them free of charge btw. .
