Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Deborah, I would stop trying to raise funds and support the MS Society, just another huge corporation raising money that supports the pharmaceutical industry and pushes traditional medical " cures " . I used to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma, a HUGE fundraising mill, with its Team IN Training groups, millions and millions of dollars raised by ordinary people participating in athletic events; what an irony... All of these mainstream, corporate giants (Amer Cancer Soc-- one of the very wealthiest, Diabetes, MS, etc.) prey on our empathy for people who have these diseases, while doing nothing to explore alternative solutions that could actually help, or to spread the word about prevention. They have Boards ofs who are very well compensated with salaries, pensions, and benefits. They have no interest in actually curing these diseases---then, there would be no need for their organization! The money train would end. A very sad thought, but the only logical conclusion: its all about the $$. Lynn M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
