Greg and Art, A cure is certainly more difficult to find than a palliation. Art I think you are falling prey to the conspiratorial thinkers who look at all of the world is driven purely by economics. Drug companies and the research and medical communities are people too subject to the same illnesses all people are subject to. But then maybe I'm wrong and my colleagues have been holding out on me. Or maybe I have you all duped and I really have the cure and am not sharing the cure with the rest of you. When you get into thinking conspiratorially where does it stop? No, there is no major conspiracy IMHO by the "Band-Aide" manufacturers, any more than there was a significant effort of the makers of braces crutches and hot packs to prevent the development of the polio vaccine- just a normal rate of progress toward a greater understanding of the illness which will eventually lead toward a cure and prevention.

I hope there is no truth in this statement. If it were true no disease would have ever been cured. Penicillin, polio vaccine, small pox vaccine, and even the flu shot would not have come about.
