Cold FX natural product gets good reviews!



For all the Conspiracy talk around here, I saw a good story today covered by massmedia.

A natural health product somehow got passt the bosses and was reviewed on TV!! The product is "ColdFX", and the study subjects got less colds, less severely, than the placebo group. HA!!!

I think it is a ginsing based cold rememdy

Maybe they did manage to get a patent on it, patents being the difference between what the pharmaceutical industry insists on being the only thing that will be used to treat illness. Naturally occuring plants and so on cannot be patented.

Without a patent, there can be no monopoly and no large profits as someone else can package up the same thing and market forces take over, lowering the price.*

Thats plain enough for even me to understand. We can see that this means the best things may not be used, just because there can be no patent. Non-patented cures that work better and have no, or fewer, side effects actually are not being used.

* About Price/Profits - the HYPOCRACY of capitalism is evident here. The capitalists - and the politicians that regulate business and campaign against communism for the past 75 years - are supposed to be in love with "MARKET FORCES". Allowing the health/medicine businesses to monpololise the markets so they can supposedly return enough profits to do the expensive research is a hoax, a farce. They are just protecting their second favourite industry.
Research and development turns out to be mostly bogus - see the Paxil problem of ingoring three bad reviews and publishing the one positive one. The public is not being served by this!! See the Vioxx problem of ignoring the stroke and heart disease associated with it - they didn't do the testing over any longer a period than 5 weeks. The publis is not being served by this!
So the excuse of expensive research is not valid - they made back 5 times the initial costs in just 5 years - $7.5BILLION profit - before it was pulled last week.
Let them have their patent protection for 10 years, but don't crowd out the natural, non-patentable medicines that really do work. Safely.

here is a radical idea - Make them test their concoctions against a natural product purported to treat the same illness before granting them permission to sell it as the only treatment that doctors will administer. And then the public will be served. Hell will freeze over before that happens, but we would be served better scientifically, humanitarian, medically , and monitarily if comparisons to naturally occuring therapies were made against the pharmaceutical pills. We should have the choice, not the slander.

Maybe this report on Cold FX will help us decide which direction is better for us personally!!
