No..... sorry, but a cure (repeat CURE) for Diabetes ? YES!

This is going to sound like one of those 'whacky' things people say, but here goes.

A chap in our fellowship. A biochemist of German background, has discovered a cure (not a treatment for the symptoms of) for Diabetes.
He offered it to the Australian government and to Australian Industry. Not far from me is Glaxo Smith Kline, there are other major pharmeceutical giants in Australia. How did some of these giants react to this discovery?

"We will buy it off you".....why ? aaha... thats the key point.

If a company is making kazillions out of medicines to TREAT THE SYMPTOMS of a disease which is chronic, and on going, is it in their interests to see that disease ENDED ?

That link illustrates the vested interest medical companies have in keeping diabetes "alive and well".

This kind of thing (along with the orbital engine) is what truly shows the deep evil of capitalist corporate greed. Where millions of lives are in the balance, and high flying executives are thinking of 'shareholder value' rather than 'benefit to mankind'.

The invention, if one can call it that, is now being considered by Canada and France.

Doesn't sound right. A couple of Australian scientists had little trouble attracting funding to research a promising cancer treatment:

So why should a guy with a ready cure have a problem? I have trouble believing anyone the master of technology.

Of course being the good Christian that this fellow is, he would offer his cure for public good development right? (Just kidding)

He has published the data that verify his cure right?
Obtained a patent?
Lobbied various venture capitalist sources (including government startup funds) that just thrive on this kind of thing for startup companies. He should be making a small fortune right now.

Sounds like hooey to me.

A very long dead uncle used to take his car down to the sea fill its tank with salt water and drive away on camera.
He told us we would one day have free fuel, unfortunately he told lie after lie too, about every thing.
Such mirths often get people believing them.

Pharmaceutical companies are exactly like oil companies. If they cure the world's diseases they're slitting their own throat. Same as with oil companies and alternative energy.

I'm continuously intrigued that people still have faith that multinational corporations have our best interests at heart.

You'll find that individuals that do come up with cures are the ones that have to fund it themselves and come in for MAJOR criticism against their work. For instance, Dr George O'Neil and his naltrexone treatment for drug addiction. Dr Holt and his radio wave treatment for cancer. Read their stories.

Governments have a major vested interest as well. What would the consequences for the government be if there was no cancer, drug addicts, people with 'incurable' diseases?...

Imagine the population growth.

What if grain companies imported grain to third world countries that would grow more than once?. The dependency and cash flow would end. They could end hunger and disease inside 20 years. But how many people would be out of a job?.

A company owning a patent on a drug that cures diabetes would be in a position to set the price of that drug. The price could reasonably be set at the net present value of the average diabetes sufferer's future medications without the cure.

So the company could maintain its own income, while taking the entire market away from companies that produce drugs for treatment rather than cure.

It seems to me that a company has no motive to suppress such a drug.

St G I think you have it but how do we prove it?
Fuel for one is being stalled some country's are using very little oil right now.
Trust multi nationals? not me not many in truth money rules not morals.
