I know many "bright minds" are working on it. They will continue to WORK on it even after our demise.

I don't expect dissenters to agree with my stance. I have discussed this issue with doctors and representatives from pharmaceutical companies that I know (off the record). Therefore, I know it won't be "PC" to admit that I am correct.

You don't understand my point - 'big Pharma' will buy the therapy or cure, and sell it, offsetting the dollar loss from current treatments.

I know this because I worked in the field - so that should be a counterpoint to whatever anecdotes you have from disillusioned doctors or . . . salesmen.
