Medical research funders, governments and research waste – are taxpayers getting ‘bang for their buck’? : Comments

By Mona Nasser, published 14/3/2017

One day 'x' is deemed to be good for you; the next it is not. How can clinicians make valid decisions in such a changeable information environment?

“It's estimated that 85% of medical research is wasted.”

The only surprising thing about that its that it is only 85%, given the constant bombardment of conflicting twaddle we cop nightly, as gougers compete for more and more public money for drugs and wacky health scares. The 'results' are always 5 years down the track, by which time everyone has forgotten about the claims, and umpteen other tricks have been tried out on us.

There is no pretty covering up of the waste of our money; there are simply too many scientists looking for fame and money – other peoples' money. These underemployed, unnecessary scientists would be better used inventing new stuff that could be manufactured, creating wealth and jobs, instead of tinkering around the edges of medical problems that people are going to die of anyway. Nobody wants to know how to keep useless people living longer than they already do.

Just how much more do dentists need to know about pulling and filling teeth, which is what this lady seems interested in?

A glimmer of understanding? Like say the only time sodium fluoride (an effective rat poison not usually found naturally occurring in nature, like relatively benign calcium fluoride) interacts with tooth enamel, is when it passes over and around them?

Or that it's reaction as a cumulative poison in the body is poorly understood by folk who seemingly, mostly contain their inquiry into the area of the jaw and largely ignore the skeletal framework and the digestive tract?

The bottled water market has never been more profitable and even more expensive as a consumer product than milk!

Calcium fluoride is an essential trace element essential to non mutating healthy cellular development.

Conversely sodium fluoride is by and large the toxic waste product of aluminum smelting.

Taxpayers get the best bang for their buck when the research is both thorough and informative and not contained inside arbitrary artificial barriers and faith based constraints! Like that old furphy that stomach ulcers were caused by stomach acid.

Nor should conclusive double blind studies be simply ignored, (the case against statins) just to suit the profit imperatives of big pharma.

And research I followed with some interest, seemed to suggest that a combination of already approved medications ( Leukemia chemo and a well known rheumatoid arthritis medication when used in combination when the patient was still in relatively good health could be a possible cure for HIV/aids.

And not progressed for lack of funding?

A cure for aids would blow a huge hole in big Pharma's bottom line and to be resisted by the entire medical establishment, just like when a couple of West Australian researchers discover stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria.

At the end of the day, good research is soley aimed at uncovering the mighty irrefutable truth!
