Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Actually our biggest threat is posed by the drug companies rather than MDs. TCM is a big threat to them, we are doctors and pharmacists rolled into one. I do believe that drug companies try to create drugs to manage symptoms rather than cure syndromes. and they'll attack anything that undermines their market share, even generic drugs. I recently saw a program in the UK on the cost of AIDS drugs in south america and people trying to smuggle generic drugs into the various countries to the serious ill and dying. A young boy who had AIDS and ironically wanted to be a doctor when he grew up died whilst filming. That was heavy and alot of the responsilibty lies at the foot of drug companies. I know people will say, they need to charge alot to cover funding for research and the multitude of drugs that fail in the early terms. But yeah, if they intergrated more with CM and opened their minds more, alot less people would die!
