Every time I see, or hear of a story like this one, I think back to when my mom was alive.
She was a RN, and had been since she graduated nursing collage in 1951. She had worked for the Health department, as a ward/floor nurse, surgical nurse, industrial nurse and finally for the VNA.
She told me that when she was in class (for nursing) cancer was "Known" to be caused by a virus...This was the accepted "Truth" of the day.
She also, having taken care of numerous terminal, or near terminal patients, was convinced that there would NEVER be a "Cure" for Cancer or AIDS......Treatment(s) yes, but never a cure. When I, shocked at this, asked why she thought that way, she replied...."The medical field would never survive if they cured the worlds major Ills. They will "Treat" them, but never cure them....If you cure a cancer patient, the money stops coming in....and Money is what the medical field is all about!"
She thought that way until the day she passed away.
Sometimes, I wonder just how right she was.
