i've heard that its a natural occurring substance and that it can't be patented so no drug co. actually cares about it.

Drug companies hate him!

Name one new drug (developed in the last 20 years) that you take for a week, it cures the ailment, and you never need to take it again.

Gardasil?

When I was 14 it was the super secret carburetor that allowed any car to get 100mpg.
Though I was never stupid enough to write the idea on my face.

I use that example all the time in class and demonstrate why people need to be suspicious of such claims.

It wouldn't surprise me. The pharmaceutical companies are only researching and developing drugs that you must take for the rest of your life.

Name one new drug (developed in the last 20 years) that you take for a week, it cures the ailment, and you never need to take it again. There aren't any, because a weeks worth of pills doesn't generate the revenue that a pill a day for the rest of your life does.

The medical industry in this country is not about curing a single person, but profits, obscene profits.

How about Leprosy? Curable now. And, the latest news is that a cure for diabetes may be in sight. Have you figured out how to cure any ailments?
